[GNC] CSS Troubleshooting for Transaction reports

[Adrien Monteleone]

If you want to play with this further, I would recommend 
saving/exporting the report (which by default, is HTML) and opening in a 
web browser, then use the browser's Developer Inspector tools to play 
with the CSS in real time. When you have it to your liking, adjust your 
stylesheet accordingly in GnuCash.

Note, for most if not all reports, the layout is still using the 
1990s/2000s method of 'everything is, or is in, a table'. Modern CSS no 
longer follows that pattern, so you'll have some adjustments to make to 
work with the report. Because of this, many cells that hold various 
headings and totals do not have IDs or Classes to expose them for 
styling. (the styles are hard-coded inline) And since the entire report 
is a table, you don't have otherwise semantic elements to style either.

If you can't get it the way you want due to these issues, I'd recommend 
opening the report in a spreadsheet and making it pretty there instead.

Regards,
Adrien
