Please remember to CC the list (use "Reply All") on your replies.

Ah. Yes, Gnucash does store its data in a format that looks sort of like an HTML file. That type of data format is generically called XML, and the element names label Gnucash's data structures.

There's no dictionary of the names for humans to use because we don't expect humans to read or write the data file without Gnucash being in between. It's certainly nothing that users need worry about.
