I don't think there's a tutorial or how to... Scheme/lisp is pretty straightforward; there are plenty of good resources on the next about it that google will help you find. The hello world report is in gnucash/src/report/utility-reports/hello-world.scm which on my distro is installed into /usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/report/hello-world.scm A report basically consists of two parts: an options-genearator which allows the reporting infrastructure to manage the report's options [both UI and persistance], and the report-renderer which outputs HTML. This may change in the future, but probably not substantially. ...jsled -- http://asynchronous.org/ - `a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
