Adding more metadata to PdfTemplate examples

[jose-guevarra]

Hi, does anyone have any examples of modifying the PdfTemplate(AsciiDoc) to add more package metadata? In particular, authors and description. It would be nice to have a table with package name, version, license as well.

In general, any FreeMarker-based reporter has access to all these top-level variables:

ort/plugins/reporters/freemarker/src/main/kotlin/FreemarkerTemplateProcessor.kt

Lines 412 to 421 in 4e73f5a

	return mapOf(
	"projects" to projects,
	"packages" to packages,
	"ortResult" to input.ortResult,
	"licenseTextProvider" to input.licenseTextProvider,
	"LicenseView" to LicenseView,
	"helper" to FreemarkerTemplateProcessor.TemplateHelper(input),
	"statistics" to input.statistics,
	"vulnerabilityReference" to VulnerabilityReference
	) + enumModel()

Unfortunately, packages is of type FreemarkerTemplateProcessor.PackageModel which does not include all package metadata, like the authors or the description. However, ortResult.getPackages() gives you CuratedPackages whose metadata contains all details.
