To make larger quotations more readable and easier to understand, I like to group the numerous items in sections.
Each section then has a heading, such as “Hardware”, “Software”, “Services”, “Sweets” and what have you.
How can this be done?
So the item list looks kinda like this:
Hardware
- Super SSD, $1,000.00
- Super RAM, $2,000.00
Software
- Super Algo, $3,000.00
- Super Query, $4,000.00
Sweets
- Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, $5,000.00
- Hershey Bar, $6,000.00
Custom print formats are all done via Jinja (Jinja — Jinja Documentation (3.1.x)). If you assign the items to appropriate item groups, it’s just a matter of looping through the quotation items to sort them by those groups.
good point! Yet it would be great not having to use item groups for sorting or headings, like so:

First Floor

Second Floor
