Is it possible to create a Docusign template using HTML from the REST API?

I just created my developer account with DocuSign and apparently I need to know if I can use an HTML template for the documents that I need to attach to an envelope. I'm planning to use the REST API for this. But I would like to know if it's possible, all I can see from your documentations are PDFs and the template generators.

My goal is to generate the template(HTML) on the fly from my application and send that as a template to the API.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Finally, I was able to achieve this using the PHP SDK. If you guys are interested to know here is how.

// set recipient information
$recipientName = "";
$recipientEmail = "";

// configure the document we want signed
$documentFileName = "/../document.html";
$documentName = "document.html";

// instantiate a new envelopeApi object
$envelopeApi = new DocuSign\eSign\Api\EnvelopesApi($this->getApiClient());

// Add a document to the envelope
$document = new DocuSign\eSign\Model\Document();
$document->setDocumentBase64(base64_encode(file_get_contents(__DIR__ . $documentFileName)));
$document->setName($documentName);
$document->setFileExtension('html');
$document->setDocumentId("2");

// Create a |SignHere| tab somewhere on the document for the recipient to sign
$signHere = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\SignHere();
$signHere->setXPosition("100");
$signHere->setYPosition("100");
$signHere->setDocumentId("2");
$signHere->setPageNumber("1");
$signHere->setRecipientId("1");

// add the signature tab to the envelope's list of tabs
$tabs = new DocuSign\eSign\Model\Tabs();
$tabs->setSignHereTabs(array($signHere));

// add a signer to the envelope
$signer = new \DocuSign\eSign\Model\Signer();
$signer->setEmail($recipientEmail);
$signer->setName($recipientName);
$signer->setRecipientId("1");
$signer->setTabs($tabs);
$signer->setClientUserId("1234");  // must set this to embed the recipient!

// Add a recipient to sign the document
$recipients = new DocuSign\eSign\Model\Recipients();
$recipients->setSigners(array($signer));
$envelop_definition = new DocuSign\eSign\Model\EnvelopeDefinition();
$envelop_definition->setEmailSubject("[DocuSign PHP SDK] - Please sign this doc");

// set envelope status to "sent" to immediately send the signature request
$envelop_definition->setStatus("sent");
$envelop_definition->setRecipients($recipients);
$envelop_definition->setDocuments(array($document));

// create and send the envelope! (aka signature request)
$envelop_summary = $envelopeApi->createEnvelope($accountId, $envelop_definition, null);
echo "$envelop_summary\n";

After I dig deeper on their documentation. Here is the source.
