00:16:05 <fell> jralls, I get a merge conflict in htdocs by your "Add a tidy.conf…". My diffs: clean, logical-emphasis, replace-color. Are you using them to "backport" improvements?
00:47:30 <fell> It are the options mentioned in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Website_Maintenance#W3C_Validation
00:50:53 <fell> So it is a good idea.

06:55:50 <schoinobates> Hi. In GnuCash's internal C code, how do I make a currency conversion using the best available rate, like the on-screen "computation of value in a single currency" does?
06:56:43 *** sbluhm has joined #gnucash
06:58:47 *** frakturfreak1 has joined #gnucash
07:08:20 <schoinobates> I have found xaccAccountConvertBalanceToCurrencyAsOfDate and gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_nearest_before_price_t64
07:23:18 <schoinobates> (so I should get to answer my question myself)

09:57:01 <potatosal> do you ppl input income tax as expenses?
09:58:17 <potatosal> or is it just the net salary after tax?
09:59:23 <schoinobates> I input income tax as expense.
09:59:45 <schoinobates> Else it is not helpful for my tax declaration...
10:00:30 <schoinobates> Is there a struct with value _and_ commodity? To pass around a value with its associated currency?
10:05:51 <schoinobates> I didn't find it at least.
10:09:06 <chris> not in C
10:23:37 <schoinobates> OK, thanks.

11:34:46 <potatosal> so if I want to generate a report that shows me my income/expenses per month, without the tax expenses ie, should I just use the income/expense charts and remove the tax accounts from it?

14:07:15 <jralls> fell, That commit was two months ago and only added the one file. Perhaps you have your own tidy.conf that isn't in under git's control?

15:13:59 <schoinobates> potatosal: Yes. That's why "Tax" is its own expense account, and all different kinds of taxes are subaccounts of the one. So one can easily remove them.

22:00:39 <potatosal> schoinobates: got it, thanks
22:02:02 <potatosal> how do you all manage trip expenses, is it better to create a "Trip to X" expense account and add all expenses related to it? or just split them among the available daily expense accounts?
22:04:32 *** David has quit IRC
22:04:51 *** David has joined #gnucash
22:10:02 <NoobAlice> Personally, I have a "travel" expense account and might also use my "restaurants" account as needed, but I don't do big trips. Some people like to "tag" things, such as adding, say, #Florida2022 to all relevant transactions so that they can filter an expense report later. It all depends on what you would find useful.
23:38:11 <schoinobates> Usually, trips do not overlap in time. So a selection by date would isolate trips. And not create plethora of accounts that become obsolete/deprecated and are never to be used again. But if you find it useful to have per-trip accounts, you can certainly do that.
