Hi Linas,
thanks for asking. Indeed I am working on html-utilities.scm,
or at least I wrote the whole file so far. However, for the things you
asked my concerns would rather be whether I agree with your ideas or not
(instead of "only" code conflicts).
> Remove the excess lines showing currency balances.
Now this will definitely not get my approval. Simply "remove" the other
lines is not at all what will solve any problem here -- those lines are
there for a reason.
I admit that different user situations require different report
structures. In my case those "excess lines" make perfectly sense -- the
only "foreign currencies" that I have are in fact foreign currencies, and
it is nice to see the balances in the right currency... whatever. What I
am trying to say is: For users like me those lines make perfectly sense.
Therefore *do not* remove those lines.
However, you are always free to add new options for another viewing mode.
But for stocks in general I have still some homework to do. Since I don't
own any stocks, I didn't think about their viewing mode yet. But Herbert
Thoma has provided me with a demo gnucash file, and (as I posted to the ML
~2 weeks ago) I will work on that, but I'm pretty busy right now. I might
work on that later this weekend, but I'm not sure about that.

If I understand you correctly, then why don't you simply deactivate the
"Show other Currencies/Shares of Stock" checkbox? That makes all your
"excess" lines disappear. If that's not what you want, could you explain
it to me in more detail please?
Christian
