Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In some cases, it is desirable to have the report in multiple different formats.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow outputting the report in multiple formats with just one run.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Running the command multiple times for the different report formats can take very long on large codebases.
