I have spent a couple hours learning some XML and hacked an XSL file to convert from a GnuCash Account file to a Gnumeric spreadsheet. It is very rough at this point. Downloaded it at http://www.neurosoft.org/gnucash/gnumeric_xsl or get it from the attachment.
A couple of obvious (and major) problems: 1. Gnucash does not define its Namespaces properly. For XSL to work, you have to edit the Account file, and change <gnc-v2> to: <gnc-v2 xmlns:act="http://www.gnucash.org/act" xmlns:gnc="http://www.gnucash.org/gnc" xmlns:trn="http://www.gnucash.org/trn" xmlns:ts="http://www.gnucash.org/ts" xmlns:split="http://www.gnucash.org/split"> These are just bogus values. The Gnucash project needs to properly define the namespaces. 2. I haven't been able to properly connect the Account Name and the Account ID within the spreadsheet. This causes the transactions to be listed by the ID instead of by the name. 3. I do not know how to process the Date field with XSL or Gnumeric. Gnumeric considers it a String because of the Timezone information. --------- To use with Apache Xalan, execute $ java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in Accounts.gnucash -xsl gnumeric.xsl -out Accounts.gnumeric Suggestions/Criticism/etc welcome. -- Zach Garner
