I think the IRC logs contain some of that, though we've not talked about it formally much. Over the years, I there are a few aspects that we agree on: - the reports should not have scheme scripts emitting HTML (i.e., "(simple-format #f "<p>")" or even the "(gnc:html-p-element paragraph-content)" form we have now, but instead have a script that generates the report content, then applies it to a templated HTML file. - we should modernize our use of the printing libraries, especially as it's moved into gtk in recent times; some of this is already in progress. - (maybe optionally) allowing gecko would get a capable HTML rendering engine, importantly supporting CSS for both display and printing. As yelp already defaults to dep'ing against firefox/gecko, this shouldn't be a huge burden, but I understand that this is a problem for some people. I'm not sure that we care or have time to support both gecko and gtkhtml, however. I could add more detail, but I'm not sure what you're after, exactly. (We should probably limit followups to gnucash-devel.) -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
