That's right, I forgot. For that matter I'd modified the Income Statement report to include variants for UK-VAT (Box 1-9) and AU-BAS which tallies only G1 1A and 1B exclusively. Will modify prior to publish... On Mon, 28 Sep 2020 at 21:52, Liz Dodd wrote: > On Mon, 28 Sep 2020 12:05:42 + >

Frank, The entire Guide was originally written as a step-by-step "cookbook" with sections in each chapter "putting it all together." Those sections have slowly disappeared over time, in large part because they were overly specific (an existing example is the section that uses a Degas

David, Adding to the Appendices is, I think, a serious mistake. The Appendices are where good intentions go to be ignored and forever enshrined in 2006. Take a look at the history and content of, for example, Appendices A and B for example. David T. On 9/28/2020 9:52 AM, David Carlson

Sure. Wiki is fine. I wasn't aware that it was country-specific, which certainly affects its proper placement. Probably that detail would be useful--as in, "Here is a quick how-to for managing GST in Genovia. It may also prove useful for other jurisdictions, such as Latveria and Wakanda."

Perhaps it would be better to format it as an appendix with reference(s) in appropriate places in the body of the Guide. This would allow more detail for those who are interested without boring those who do not need the information. On Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 8:36 AM D. via gnucash-devel <

I agree with Frank's suggestions. The Guide would be the best spot (probably in the Business Setup area of chapter 13). And you do need to expand abbreviations at the first instance. >From an editorial perspective, I think a little more explanatory background >would help users understand the

Hi Chris, in theory the Guide is the right place, but if you think it still needs improvement, you can put it in the wiki. Note on your draft: Abbreviations should be defined on the first usage or, if they are used in different places in the glossary and linked from the first occurrence in each
