RML is the Report Markup Language - a member of the XML family of languages, and the XML dialect used by rml2pdf to produce documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF).

RML documents can be written automatically by a program or manually using any word processor that can output text files (e.g. using a "Save as Text" option from the save menu). Since RML documents are basic text files, they can be created on the fly by scripts in Python, Perl, or almost any other language.

RML makes creating documents in PDF as simple as creating a basic web page - RML is as easy to write as HTML, and uses "tags" just like HTML. It is much easier than trying to write PDF programmatically.
