[GNC] Balsheet-eg.scm problem

[Alex]

I took the gnucash balance sheet from

Reports -> Assets & Liabilities -> Balance Sheet

Clicked on the Edit report option icon on the tool bar.

Changed a few options including most importantly these fields on the 
"Display" page  <Template File> and <CSS stylesheet file> to match the 
names of my bespoke files

My bespoke css and -equile.scm files now live in my .local/share/gnucash 
directory and are named as indicated by the values in the fields 
<Template File> and <CSS stylesheet file>

What may be the important changes to the files were -

> 131c131
> < <title><?scm:d coyname ?> <?scm:d reportname ?> <?scm:d 
> (gnc-print-date opt-date-tp) ?></title>
> ---
> > <title><?scm:d coyname ?> <?scm:d reportname ?> <?scm:d 
> (qof-print-date opt-date) ?></title>
> 133d132
> < <?scm (if css? (begin ?>
> 150a150
> >
> 152d151
> < <?scm )) ?>
> 156,158d154
> < <?scm (if (not css?) (begin ?>
> <   <table border="0" cellpadding="16"><tr><td> <!-- hack for GTKHTML -->
> < <?scm )) ?>
> 160c156

> 316d312

> 321,324d316

The most important changes were removing the hacks for GTKHTML

changing this line <h2><?scm:d opt-report-title ?> <?scm:d 
(gnc-print-date opt-date-tp) ?></h2>

changing this line (one-num (gnc:make-gnc-numeric 10000 1))

Not sure if I needed to do all that, but I did and it had the desired 
end result.

My bespoke report now differs from the standard balance sheet report 
/usr/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/balsheet-eg.eguile.scm  in these 
areas -

> 149a150

> 154,155c155,156

To get the display date working I have to add this line

(use-modules (srfi srfi-19)) ; for extra date functions

to

/usr/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/balsheet-eg.scm
