Looking further, the taxinvoice report Options->Display screen allows
using an alternate template and css file. On my system,
~/.local/share/gnucash is on the search path. I put the modified and
renamed files there and they get used. This works with a standard
distribution.

Steve, Adrien, thanks again. I think I shall have a look at hacking the
source for the default invoice. It's important to me to keep my
bookkeeper's life as easy as possible during this transition. Fortunately,
we have a very simple business with very few clients, and virtually all the
work is the
Interesting approach concerning modifying the tax invoice.
I'd say all of that sounds correct to my understanding as well, save I
think you have the Scheme—HTML bit reversed.
The files are in Scheme, which generate the report as an HTML table.

I've been wrestling with this too, specifically with regard to
invoices. This is a rather lengthy comment. I hope it is useful. Also,
if some of this is inaccurate, which is likely, please let me know.
I've looked at the wiki and sifted through the code trying to
understand how reports work.
That's "dialect" of Lisp. (please excuse my fingers not syncing with my
brain)

Not a bug. Most likely a design decision. Not sure how you'd figure out

Stylesheets are not peculiar to a certain report. You can edit them
independently, then assign them to reports for use.
Unfortunately, I

See the Wiki development section for links to details of the reporting

so far)

The Options allow you to turn some things on or off explicitly, but they
are not all-inclusive.
You might want to investigate customizing a stylesheet, but that does
muck with the workflow to get an invoice report in most cases, resulting
in lots of clicks.
Using a CSS rule like 'display:

Is there any control over the fields displayed, auxiliary text, and perhaps
the position of fields?
When I looked up how to change the appearance of the invoice, the docs only
seem to talk about adding images.
In most cases I don't need "net price",
