The Sample Report with Examples is one of those gems in GnuCash that take a bit of finding but it's well worthwhile working through it when you do. I'd like to see the first paragraph changed to emphasise its purpose and add the wiki reference in the second paragraph. Something like:
> This report is a sample demonstration using source code and options to introduce you to writing reports. You can make changes and see the effects. The guile (scheme) source code in the scm/report directory has comments on extending existing reports or writing your own. > > More help on writing reports is available at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports (including report location) or consult the mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org where you could contribute your brand new, totally cool report. For details on subscribing to that list, see <https://www.gnucash.org/>. You can learn more about writing scheme at <https://www.scheme.com/tspl2d/>. The code would be easier to follow if different strings other than Hello, World! were used, making it clearer what they relate to. While this report might have developed from a Hello World example, a minimal program to generate output, it's much more than that now. Can it be renamed? Maybe just hello.scm or move it to welcome-to-gnucash.scm with a related document title. If there are no concerns I'll put up a PR. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
