Input is a template file that will be filled with information from gnucash Invoices. Jinja2 templating engine ist used. Templates can be Latex, Html or anything.

Example templates for german invoices:

• Invoice.tex.tmpl
• Invoice_2.tex.tmpl

This is a sequel to latex_invoices.py that exported to a lco file to be imported into a LaTeX letter. The approach used here is not as dependent on external files and more modular as it allows to use arbitrary templates

Doxygen docs:

• http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD/
• see page Python invoice export

Questions / Issues:

• How much logic in the template, how much preprocessing in this file ?
• Internationalization - currencies, formatting of numbers
• Providing data of gnucash owner
