Can you follow https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Simple_Pull_Request and
change
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/doc/tip_of_the_day.list.c#L75
ff?

> As for the implementation of the shortcuts, you'd have to change the code for that, I assume. I'd also assume it could be a minor change. I'll note that the increment functions behave the way you're describing (i.e., repeatedly invoking them keeps the dates changing). Changing this behavior would of necessity change how they are described as well.
