No, the HTML output format is not configurable (without modifying pca 
itself). The --format option of pca only applies to text output.

If you think that there is a better default HTML output format, just 
show me an example. I had not thought much about the format when 
implementing HTML output, and if it can be made prettier or more usable 
I wouldn't resist.

If you want your own personal format, you have these options: Use a 
wrapper script around "pca -L" to post-process the HTML output as 
needed. Or use pca's --format option to make it output your preferred 
HTML format; you'll probably need to add a header and footer yourself, 
again in a wrapper script.
