That's a different problem.   GktHTML doesn't properly export the
'align' tags.  This is a known bug in GtkHTML but there's no workaround.

You're thinking "CSS" Stylesheets, which is NOT what's going on.  The
"Stylesheet" isn't CSS based, it's something internal to gnucash, and
it just defines how the HTML gets formed.    GtkHTML doesn't support
CSS.
