* Unfortunately tRML does not support cross references.

from django.http import HttpResponse
from template2pdf.dj import direct_to_pdf

def myview(request, template_name='somewhere/yourtemplate.rml'):
 params = {}

* Setting Content-Disposition will tell your browser to download content as a file, instead of opening in it.
