As long as the reference uses the correct chapter/section whatever.
Currently, the page says "You enter a transaction with multiple

a Register Style",

I think we should definitely use the correct reference. :) In fact, I wish I knew how to put a link there, so you could just click and go immediately to the reference...

I guess you mean within the docs themselves and not the webified docs...

Ideally, both.


... to a virgin GnuCash user, aren't two account transactions multi-account transactions, multi being more than 1. The more I think about it, the more I like the use of just "Simple Transaction/Complex (Split) Transaction."

Ugh, "Multi" is bad. I see what you mean now.


Okay, I'm convinced. Let's go back to a modified version of your original idea:

Simple Transaction (2 accounts)
Split Transaction (3 or more accounts)

...this has the advantage that we always use the familiar GnuCash terminology (split transaction) but it is clear to a new user what we mean b/c we explicitly state (2 accounts) and (3 or more accounts).

Sound good?
