I apologise as it appears to be the "wrap" on my editor that is throwing things - if i turn this off then yes the tags line up fine although at 1 space intervals it makes if very difficult to "skim" down to the section of interest. Sorry - i was taught to use tabs - it could easily be replaced with a standard of 4 spaces or something similar - the reason i say this is because as i said above it is easier for a newbie to read code that is well spaced out. > > > rather large task i am asking if anyone minds me doing it first :).

I will be trying to contribute as much as i can but i am still new to Linux development and admit that it is a steep learning curve and i will be learning a lot very quickly as well as making mistakes that some of you may have to pick up on ;). Apologies in advance for that :D. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
