OK, I understand better now. The displayed report is actually HTML, and the
Export just outputs that same HTML to a file.
It is extra work to modify the HTML during the Export.
By definition, Export means it will be used outside of KyMyMoney, so it would
be nice if it actually worked properly outside of KyMyMoney.
You folks might want to think about that.

There is a workaround: Convert the HTML to PDF.
As the treasurer for an organization, I use the Export to generate reports to
present to the board.
HTML is not a good format for that, so I end up saving them as PDF from the web
browser.
Converting to PDF seems to ignore all the HTML issues and it comes out OK.
I also use Quickbooks for another organization, and it generates reports
directly in PDF format.
Although it is an extra step in KyMyMoney to convert from HTML to PDF, it is
more flexible because geeks like me can edit the HTML to customize the report.
Since I don't use the HTML format directly, I guess I should not worry about
correctness of the HTML, and just accept it as is.
