Section "5.1 Types of Gnucash Accounts" includes a table of account types. The entries for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable include the note: "Previous versions of this help defined A/P and A/R the other way round." This note appears to have been introduced in the commit titled "Update to release gnucash-docs 2.2.0", from 2007. It has been carried forth since. Recommend removing the notes altogether due to their ancient pedigree.
And where is your PR? Anyway, fixed in commit d989dc0. for de we had already fixed it, but the backport of our overhaul is still not ready. If you are interested, have a look at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/de/gnucash-help/acct-types.html
Frank, I was not aware that bugs had to have PRs already created in order to report them. I was under the impression that reporting bugs through bugzilla was the proper way to handle such problems. Your annoying comment here summarizes precisely the reason why I stopped offering to help this project. Since you've chosen to bring it up (again) in a public venue, I'll reiterate that your ongoing involvement and activity on this project is the single reason for my decision. I frankly don't care enough about the project to fight through the neverending nitpicking at which you are so exceedingly adept.
David, it was pure curiosity. I know you can handle git and docbook. So I was wondering why you didn't send a fix. With my best wishes Frank
