Well, I'm glad I asked. I assumed that report was just 'broken',
so I was going to 'fix it'.
I've appended below the sample html output for a 3-stock trading
account (an update of one of the very old defaults samples).
-- a listing for 'THJ', and every other stock, appears 3 times: top,
middle, and bottom. That's too many.
-- the foreign amount should be in cells that are left-aligned;
they are hard to read when right aligned.
-- The belance is reported as 0.0 at the lowest level, followed
by a line with the correct balance in shares of stock and in the
reporting currency.
-- subtotals should be underlined, and should appear at the bottom, not
the top.
Those are the 'obvious' problems. The first problm is particularly
bad: if you have several dozen stocks, then the report becomes very
long and confusing. It took me a long while to understand what I was
looking at.
What I'd like to have it do is to show the balances in the shares of
stock, and the reporting curency, only for the sub-accounts that
are stocks. Then, a separate report, maybe tacked on to the bottom,
should show the most recent exchange rate/price, and the date of that
price.
To make it do what you want, I suspect we need to distinguish
'currency' accounts, and 'stock' accounts.

p.s. the 'export' button on the report now works. Fixed that last night.
That's how I got the html out.
