I strongly -- but respectfully -- disagree. Gnucash works *brilliantly* for a sub-accounting use case with a single bank account at a financial institution comprised of multiple sub-accounts. For example, until my children were old enough/mature enough to have their own savings accounts at our

Hmmm, I've just had a look at this on my phone. As soon as you switch to a small screen device, *everything* in the Wiki switches to "minuscule text" mode, it's certainly not caused by my screenshots. A cursory inspection of the HTML headers shows that the Wiki framework seems to be a
