<para>You can convert the xml output from cppcheck into a html report.
You'll need python and the pygments module

tree there is a folder "htmlreport" that contains a script that transforms
a Cppcheck xml file into html output.</para>
<para>This command generates the help screen:</para>
<para><programlisting>htmlreport/cppcheck-htmlreport -h</programlisting></para>
<para>The output screen says:</para>
<para><programlisting>Usage: cppcheck-htmlreport [options]
