Re: [GNC] What is wrong with this custom stylesheet code?
OK, I've given up. I'm going to write a Tcl program to post process the default HTML export and create a LaTeX file. There is some serious things broken that I cannot figure out.

Re: [GNC] What is wrong with this custom stylesheet code?
HI Robert: Here are a few things you need to change: That very last statement (gnc:make-html-style-sheet "DWS_Stylesheet" (N_ "DWS Stylesheet")) the first parameter is actually the template name defined just above, so it should be "DWS Stylesheet" without the underscore. The second parameter is the name of the default stylesheet created based on that template. You can use the same name as the template or you could call your Template "DWS Template" both here and above, as in: (gnc:define-html-style-sheet 'version 3.0 'name (N_ "DWS Template") 'renderer dws-renderer 'options-generator dws-options) (gnc:make-html-style-sheet "DWS Template" (N_ "DWS Stylesheet")) I would also advise you put your code in a separate scm file, for instance dws.scm, then store it in the USER_DATA directory .local/share/gnucash and load it from config-user.scm by adding (load (gnc-build-userdata-path "dws.scm")) Finally, possibly you are hitting a bug with the inability to save or there is something I don't know about loading the template because I have the same problem. Actually it's saving fine, you can see it in local/share/gnucash/stylesheets-2.0. It's the loading that's not working. I am wondering if it's not trying to load the saved stylesheet before running config-user.scm and therefore not finding it or something like that. But if I put the scm file directly in the main template directory under gnucash then it works, it's loading the saved settings, so that's a work-around. You don't load it in config-user.scm; instead you copy the file to /gnucash/share/guile/site/2.2/gnucash/report/stylesheets/ Sincerely, Vincent Dawans Then it saves fine for me.
