REVERSING TRANSACTIONS

[David T.]

Regarding documenting the reversing transaction feature in GnuCash, I have added https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781714 <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781714>
As to the Glossary entry, I have added https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781711 <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781711> which I am also working on adding.
