Proposal to set ledger as a topic, to help people searching for ledger on GitHub.

I'd be interested in participating in/doing a German version of this great guide. Can I just go ahead in my fork?

Hi

Running
$ ledreports

returns
File "/home/ra/src/GSWL-ecosystem/reports.py", line 68 def show((expl, cmds)): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any ideas?

I recommended this book today, but IMHO it takes too many clicks to get it on screen, not all of them obvious. (In latest firefox on mac, 5 clicks from the plaintextaccounting page.) I think this book is excellent and should be much better known. I think it needs a web version you can click directly to and see the table of contents right away.

The pandoc.css contains styles to renders embedded code text white (line 125???). This is invisible on white backgrounds, ex:

Need to update the CSS.

Hi

Executing lmnorthbank in tmux panel make returns:

Mind my folder changes here. Originally it pointed to current 'eco' folder instead of 'private' folder:
https://gist.github.com/RidaAyed/411e8fdcdde49f3ed022d605b687c638#file-convert-py-L14

😠 for putting a screenshot instead of plaintext (don't know tmux well enough yet)

Concerns book chapter: https://rolfschr.github.io/gswl-book/latest.html#Get_data_from_Northbank

The book says:

Example accounts may be “Groceries”, “Bike”, “Holidays”, “Checking Account of Bank X”, “Salary” or “Mortgage”.

Technically, the account would be Expneses:Groceries, etc. Maybe you should say something like:

Categories could include things like "Groceries".... In ledger, these would be expressed as accounts by prepending Expenses, e.g. Expenses:Groceries.

Hi. Due to the humongous numbers of dependencies that a pandoc installation requires, do you think you could also publish an EPUB release next to the PDF?

EPUB can be formatted significantly better on some mobile e-readers.

# Show monthly expenses since Nov 2011 & average monthly expense since the dawn of time
$ led -M -n -A --display "date>=[2041/11/01]" reg ^Expenses

Nov 2041?

# Show monthly expenses for Mar 2042 & average monthly expenses since Nov 2011
$ led -M -n -A --limit "date>=[2041/11/01]" --display "date>=[2042/03/01]" reg ^Expenses

Nov 2041?

Hi Rolf, I tried to find in your book (and in man and official doc, of course) how to display the balances with 2 decimal digits, even for integer amounts, but couldn't find an example.
Do you have an advice to share? Thanks!

Hi

Following chapter 3.5 last code snippet:

$ sl
$ ledreports

Gives
/bin/sh: /tmp/.ledgerscript.sh: No such file or directory

The account name is followed by at least two whitespaces

... (or one tab)

This refers to VirtualBox and I wonder if WSL2 might be an easier way to run ledger. Let me know if you want me to send a pull request on usage of WSL2.
