Currently the only total that is displayed is the Total (E+I+E)

It would be great to display a Result (I+E) (Income + Expense) summary line item as well in the balance printout.

This is helpful to determine the actual income statement result for the year.

It was not clear to me from README.md which characters knut allows for account names. I am one of these weird individualists likes to use spaces in account names and slashes to separate subaccounts.

It turns out that knut "only" supports colons, unicode letters, and unicode digits (guessing from the following snippet). Which is okay, but would be nice to state in the docs.

It might also be worth noting that there's the concept of an "identifier" and that commodities are parsed as identifiers.

Right now I can create a beancount ledger from a knut ledger file, but not the opposite - the syntax is sufficiently different that I cannot just use find and replace. So far these are the issues I have, and there may be others, and need to make my own transcoder:

• replace ";" with "#" for comment lines
• remove "*" after date
• remove leading spaces from debit account row
• combine debit and credit account rows
• other differences??

eg:
beancount syntax:
2020-01-10 * "CITY UTILITY PAYMENT"
Assets:WellsFargo:Chk -10.00 USD
Expenses:Home:WaterAndTrash 10.00 USD

knut syntax:
2023-01-05 "CITY OF DENTON UTILITY"
Assets:WellsFargo:Chk Expenses:Home:WaterAndTrash -70.00 USD

Please consider naming importers in knut according to the reverse DNS name of the "main" domain they communicate with, or the service that they interoperate with. That is, "com.revolut" instead of "revolut" and "com.interactivebrokers" instead of "us.interactivebrokers". There'll probably be many entries for "com", but it'd be a little more predictable.

Swisscard seems to have changed the structure of the CSV they provide, hence rendering the knut's importer non functional. The import process aborts without error message.

I'm interested doing this work but just wanted to ask by any chance someone is already working on exporting balance into xlsx?
