[GNC] Customizing of trial balance report to have a standard appearance for auditors

[Michael or Penny Novack]

Dimitri,

Two questions:
1) Are all of this data available from the report? Or if not, otherwise 
known (for example, maybe just end date but start date known as the date 
of the previous run --- I am a bit confused because like Balance Sheet, 
I thought a trial balance was "as of" some date and not applying to an 
interval.
   In other words, data available but report not formatted the way the 
auditors want it.

2) If so, do you understand how to EXPORT a report from gnucash? And 
then get THAT into a document you can edit using your favorite editor?
     scheme is not something to do pretty print editing in, though the 
emacs diehards will be screaming at me (scheme is a lisp dialect)

I always exported and then used a general purpose editor to 
reformat/pretty print reports before presenting them to a board. And I 
am/was a pro who could get by in lisp << not one of my regular languages 
as not paid to design/code in it ; but I could at least read most 
anything even of not fluent writing it >>
