Write a custom report that inserts LaTeX markup, and process

Back when troff with tbl (a tool to create tables using a high-level
markup that was translated to low-level troff codes) were more common
than tex, I used a report package to insert the tbl markup. The
report package required a number of lines per page, which I set
to 999, but I had to edit the files to remove the page breaks
and extra table heads.
