Geert Janssens 83d14e1c1c Restructure the src directory
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)

This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.

/**
\page py_invoice_export Python invoice export
The goal of these example scripts is to export invoices to
LaTeX or other output formats as desired.
\par Files:
- latex_invoices.py
A first approach which exports invoice data to an .lco file which is subsequently included into the template
- Templates:
- Invoice.tex
File derived vom scrlttr2.tex v0.3. by Juergen Fenn.
rechnung.sty is used to create the table of entries
- gncinvoice_jinja.py
A second step. Imports jinja2 templates and fills in the invoices values. More flexibility in creating the output files. Output can be anything: LaTeX, HTML, CSV, XML, ...
- Templates:
- Invoice.tex.tmpl
LaTeX template using rechnung.sty, close to the one used by latex_invoices.py.
- Invoice_2.tex.tmpl
LaTeX template using a table to fill in the invoices values. No rechnung.sty required.
- gncinvoicefkt.py
Some helping functions. Included by latex_invoices.py and gncinvoice_jinja.py.
\par Goals / Issues:
- How much logic in the template, how much preprocessing in the python script ?
- Internationalization - currencies, formatting of numbers, templates
- Providing data of gnucash owner.
At the moment this has to be put into the invoices (template/final file) by hand. Access of this data is in KVPs. No support in python-bindings at the moment. c-API to access these values is work in progress. A fork to access these is https://github.com/c-holtermann/gnucash/tree/python-kvp. This is very much work in progress. A discussion can be found in thread http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2014-June/037768.html.
- A jinja2 template mimicking the original html invoices
