David,
As well as Frank's objections to rewriting, why does having one massive file
necessarily improve the structure or maintainability. This is not the case
with programming code. Docbook can include files in a far more structured
manner than the gnucash xml sources do at the moment. I would hav

Thanks Geert
My apologies to David T if I misunderstood the intention re a single
document. A single document with separate sections may help to reduce
duplication, but that mainly requires editorial effort no matter whether it
is a single document or not. it would certainly help with searches.

Docbook has a mechanism for including other xlm files either by declaring an
ENTITY which maps on to the filename containing the snippet xml code. You
can then use & to include the file contents at any point. You
can also construct "header files" which contain the entity definitions which

Geert,
Is there not perhaps a way to leverage Google translate as a first pass to
translate text. The result may not be colloquial and produce some
interesting results. I have used it for Russian to English translations and
it doesn't do too bad a job.

XInclude reference also modular files:

using a switch on xsltproc --xinclude when building

Dear All,
I reply to this message (even though it lacks the previous discussions for
context), as it is the latest in the thread. I will, however, try to take on
some of the issues that have gotten raised. I apologize for the length and
density of the reply.
With regard to translations, I am n
OK. In reply to my own message, I have paged through the Help and compared it
to the Guide. I compiled a mapping framework from Help to the Guide, and found
that this might not be as huge an undertaking as I initially thought.
Here are my thoughts:
1. Introduction to GnuCash
Thanks for all your comments.
@John, Geert:
Thanks for bringing the expectations to the point that unit tests as
such and especially on master/maint always must pass.
I also get the point that further refinement of the test results by
utilitzing the verdicts "xpass" and "xfail" is not desired.

David,
I also subscribe to your manifesto:
I agree that the Concept guide should be just that. Not how to specifically
do something using Gnucash
1. A minimal set of basic accounting concepts with reference perhaps to more
detailed material.
2. Some discussion how GnuCash implements these:
