“For fullest consistency”: if you’re going to put one format into a folder, put every one in a folder.

My build folder hierarchy is:

build
  \guide
    \C
    \de
[etc.]
  \help
    \C
    \de
[etc.]

IOW, the guide and help have separate hierarchies in build. I have no connection to code.gnucash.org, and have no knowledge as to how the information is stored there. ISTM that the structures of build environments should be consistent across systems.
