Input is a template file that will be filled with information from gnucash Invoices. Jinja2 templating engine is being used for this. 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:

• https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MAINT or MASTER
• 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
