Is there a plugin that exists, or a feature in the works, where I can do something like this

Nice idea.

I haven’t seen anything like that.

You might be able to do it by creating a custom callback plugin, although I’ve not investigated whether --list-task would actually generate any callback events.

I’d be tempted to do something quick and dirty like this:

echo “” \> deployment\_plan.html  
echo “Deployment Plan

```
” >> deployment_plan.html
ansible-playbook site.yml --list-tasks >> deployment_plan.html
echo “
```
” \>\> deployment\_plan.html

Hope this helps,

Jon
