Yes, of course, but I think so I would have to study the GnuCash API. You
know where to find some documentation?

I had already noticed that exchange rates are not explicit and that it was
possibly a division:
...
  <trn:splits>
    <trn:split>
      <split:id type="guid">77d889acf5aa05402b0227efedd401f4</split:id>
      <split:reconciled-state>c</split:reconciled-state>
      <split:value>490000/100</split:value>
      <split:quantity>317/100</split:quantity>
      <split:account
type="guid">e08300268208119ce2e5b301ca0a7df5</split:account>
    </trn:split>
    <trn:split>
      <split:id type="guid">f0bb1593ad9d742576220a10dd3515ff</split:id>
      <split:reconciled-state>n</split:reconciled-state>
      <split:value>-490000/100</split:value>
      <split:quantity>-490000/100</split:quantity>
      <split:account
type="guid">6757b8b409a3d348c9b1702d018cd96c</split:account>
    </trn:split>
 ...
Your information about the divisions are very useful. Thanks.

I don't dominate C, Python or Scheme. I'm not a developer, I'm an
enthusiastic and there are limits to what I'm willing to do. If complicate
a lot I abandoned the idea and seek another path.

Now I know which mail list is best to look for information about the XML
structure.

Thanks.
