Hello All,
If gnucash reporting is moving towards webkit (full featured html
engine), shouldn't we consider using/choosing some kind of mature
(html/xml), standards-aware „templating“ engine/solutions, such as LAML:
http://www.cs.aau.dk/~normark/laml/
instead of pseudo templating (unstable, unsteady, poor solution) such as
eguile-gnc, which makes writing reports still complicated, inelegant.
Don't get we wrong -- it (eguile-gnc) works, but it isn't going to
work/evolve any better than before, and writing reports, reporting
components is just hard, frustrating without some reasonable, common,
solid, mature basis (library).
Any thoughts, opinions?
Thank you.
