NAME
       Journal - hledger's default file format, representing a General Journal

DESCRIPTION
       hledger's usual data source is a plain  text  file  containing  journal
       entries  in  hledger  journal  format.  This file represents a standard
       accounting general journal.  I use file names ending in  .journal,  but
       that's not required.  The journal file contains a number of transaction
       entries, each describing a transfer of money (or any commodity) between
       two or more named accounts, in a simple format readable by both hledger
       and humans.

       hledger's journal format is a compatible subset,  mostly,  of  ledger's
       journal  format,  so  hledger  can  work with compatible ledger journal
       files as well.  It's safe, and encouraged,  to  run  both  hledger  and
       ledger on the same journal file, eg to validate the results you're get-
       ting.

       You can use hledger without learning any more about this file; just use
       the  add  or web commands to create and update it.  Many users, though,
       also edit the  journal  file  directly  with  a  text  editor,  perhaps
       assisted by the helper modes for emacs or vim.

       Here's an example:

              ; A sample journal file. This is a comment.

              2008/01/01 income               ; <- transaction's first line starts in column 0, contains date and description
                  assets:bank:checking  $1    ; <- posting lines start with whitespace, each contains an account name
                  income:salary        $-1    ;    followed by at least two spaces and an amount

              2008/06/01 gift
                  assets:bank:checking  $1    ; <- at least two postings in a transaction
                  income:gifts         $-1    ; <- their amounts must balance to 0

              2008/06/02 save
                  assets:bank:saving    $1
                  assets:bank:checking        ; <- one amount may be omitted; here $-1 is inferred

              2008/06/03 eat & shop           ; <- description can be anything
                  expenses:food         $1
                  expenses:supplies     $1    ; <- this transaction debits two expense accounts
                  assets:cash                 ; <- $-2 inferred

              2008/12/31 * pay off            ; <- an optional * or ! after the date means "cleared" (or anything you want)
                  liabilities:debts     $1
                  assets:bank:checking

FILE FORMAT
   Transactions
       Transactions  are  represented  by journal entries.  Each begins with a
       simple date in column 0, followed by three optional fields with  spaces
       between them:

       o a  status  flag,  which  can be empty or ! or * (meaning "uncleared",
         "pending" and "cleared", or whatever you want)

       o a transaction code (eg a check number),

       o and/or a description

       then some number of postings, of some amount  to  some  account.   Each
       posting is on its own line, consisting of:

       o indentation of one or more spaces (or tabs)

       o optionally, a ! or * status flag followed by a space

       o an account name, optionally containing single spaces

       o optionally, two or more spaces or tabs followed by an amount

       Usually there are two or more postings, though one or none is also pos-
       sible.  The posting amounts within a transaction must  always  balance,
       ie add up to 0.  Optionally one amount can be left blank, in which case
       it will be inferred.

   Dates
   Simple dates
       Within a journal file, transaction dates use Y/M/D (or Y-M-D or  Y.M.D)
       Leading  zeros are optional.  The year may be omitted, in which case it
       will be inferred from  the  context  -  the  current  transaction,  the
       default  year  set  with  a default year directive, or the current date
       when the command is run.  Some examples: 2010/01/31, 1/31,  2010-01-31,
       2010.1.31.

   Secondary dates
       Real-life  transactions  sometimes  involve more than one date - eg the
       date you write a cheque, and the date it clears in your bank.  When you
       want  to  model  this,  eg  for more accurate balances, you can specify
       individual posting dates, which I recommend.  Or, you can use the  sec-
       ondary  dates  (aka  auxiliary/effective  dates) feature, supported for
       compatibility with Ledger.

       A secondary date can be written after the primary date, separated by an
       equals  sign.   The  primary date, on the left, is used by default; the
       secondary date, on the right, is used when the --date2 flag  is  speci-
       fied (--aux-date or --effective also work).

       The  meaning of secondary dates is up to you, but it's best to follow a
       consistent rule.  Eg write the bank's clearing  date  as  primary,  and
       when needed, the date the transaction was initiated as secondary.

       Here's an example.  Note that a secondary date will use the year of the
       primary date if unspecified.

              2010/2/23=2/19 movie ticket
                expenses:cinema                   $10
                assets:checking

              $ hledger register checking
              2010/02/23 movie ticket         assets:checking                $-10         $-10

              $ hledger register checking --date2
              2010/02/19 movie ticket         assets:checking                $-10         $-10

       Secondary dates require some effort; you must use them consistently  in
       your journal entries and remember whether to use or not use the --date2
       flag for your reports.  They are included in hledger for Ledger compat-
       ibility,  but  posting  dates  are  a  more powerful and less confusing
       alternative.

   Posting dates
       You can give individual postings a different  date  from  their  parent
       transaction,  by  adding a posting comment containing a tag (see below)
       like date:DATE.  This is probably the best way to control posting dates
       precisely.   Eg  in  this  example  the  expense  should  appear in May
       reports, and the deduction from checking should be reported on 6/1  for
       easy bank reconciliation:

              2015/5/30
                  expenses:food     $10   ; food purchased on saturday 5/30
                  assets:checking         ; bank cleared it on monday, date:6/1

              $ hledger -f t.j register food
              2015/05/30                      expenses:food                  $10           $10

              $ hledger -f t.j register checking
              2015/06/01                      assets:checking               $-10          $-10

       DATE  should be a simple date; if the year is not specified it will use
       the year of the transaction's date.  You can  set  the  secondary  date
       similarly,  with  date2:DATE2.   The  date:  or date2: tags must have a
       valid simple date value if they are present, eg a  date:  tag  with  no
       value is not allowed.

       Ledger's earlier, more compact bracketed date syntax is also supported:
       [DATE], [DATE=DATE2] or [=DATE2].  hledger will attempt  to  parse  any
       square-bracketed sequence of the 0123456789/-.= characters in this way.
       With this syntax, DATE infers its year from the transaction  and  DATE2
       infers its year from DATE.

   Account names
       Account  names  typically have several parts separated by a full colon,
       from which hledger derives a hierarchical chart of accounts.  They  can
       be  anything  you  like,  but  in  finance there are traditionally five
       top-level accounts: assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and  equity.

       Account  names  may  contain single spaces, eg: assets:accounts receiv-
       able.  Because of this, they must always be followed  by  two  or  more
       spaces (or newline).

       Account names can be aliased.

   Amounts
       After the account name, there is usually an amount.  Important: between
       account name and amount, there must be two or more spaces.

       Amounts consist of a number and (usually) a currency symbol or  commod-
       ity name.  Some examples:

       2.00001
       $1
       4000 AAPL
       3 "green apples"
       -$1,000,000.00
       INR 9,99,99,999.00
       EUR -2.000.000,00

       As you can see, the amount format is somewhat flexible:

       o amounts  are a number (the "quantity") and optionally a currency sym-
         bol/commodity name (the "commodity").

       o the commodity is a symbol, word, or phrase, on  the  left  or  right,
         with  or  without a separating space.  If the commodity contains num-
         bers, spaces or non-word punctuation it must be  enclosed  in  double
         quotes.

       o negative amounts with a commodity on the left can have the minus sign
         before or after it

       o digit groups (thousands, or any other grouping) can be  separated  by
         commas  (in  which  case period is used for decimal point) or periods
         (in which case comma is used for decimal point)

       You can use any of these  variations  when  recording  data,  but  when
       hledger  displays  amounts, it will choose a consistent format for each
       commodity.  (Except for price amounts, which are  always  formatted  as
       written).  The display format is chosen as follows:

       o if there is a commodity directive specifying the format, that is used

       o otherwise the format is inferred from the  first  posting  amount  in
         that  commodity  in the journal, and the precision (number of decimal
         places) will be the maximum from all posting amounts in that commmod-
         ity

       o or  if  there are no such amounts in the journal, a default format is
         used (like $1000.00).

       Price amounts and amounts in D directives usually don't  affect  amount
       format  inference,  but  in  some situations they can do so indirectly.
       (Eg when D's default commodity is applied to a  commodity-less  amount,
       or when an amountless posting is balanced using a price's commodity, or
       when -V is used.) If you find this causing problems,  set  the  desired
       format with a commodity directive.

   Virtual Postings
       When  you  parenthesise  the  account name in a posting, we call that a
       virtual posting, which means:

       o it is ignored when checking that the transaction is balanced

       o it is excluded from reports when the --real/-R flag is used,  or  the
         real:1 query.

       You  could  use  this,  eg, to set an account's opening balance without
       needing to use the equity:opening balances account:

              1/1 special unbalanced posting to set initial balance
                (assets:checking)   $1000

       When the account name is bracketed, we call it a balanced virtual post-
       ing.  This is like an ordinary virtual posting except the balanced vir-
       tual postings in a transaction must balance to 0, like the  real  post-
       ings  (but  separately  from them).  Balanced virtual postings are also
       excluded by --real/-R or real:1.

              1/1 buy food with cash, and update some budget-tracking subaccounts elsewhere
                expenses:food                   $10
                assets:cash                    $-10
                [assets:checking:available]     $10
                [assets:checking:budget:food]  $-10

       Virtual postings have some legitimate uses, but those are few.  You can
       usually  find an equivalent journal entry using real postings, which is
       more correct and provides better error checking.

   Balance Assertions
       hledger supports Ledger-style  balance  assertions  in  journal  files.
       These  look  like =EXPECTEDBALANCE following a posting's amount.  Eg in
       this example we assert the expected dollar balance in accounts a and  b
       after each posting:

              2013/1/1
                a   $1  =$1
                b       =$-1

              2013/1/2
                a   $1  =$2
                b  $-1  =$-2

       After reading a journal file, hledger will check all balance assertions
       and report an error if any of them fail.  Balance assertions  can  pro-
       tect  you  from, eg, inadvertently disrupting reconciled balances while
       cleaning up old entries.  You can disable  them  temporarily  with  the
       --ignore-assertions  flag,  which  can be useful for troubleshooting or
       for reading Ledger files.

   Assertions and ordering
       hledger sorts an account's postings and assertions first  by  date  and
       then  (for postings on the same day) by parse order.  Note this is dif-
       ferent from Ledger, which sorts assertions only by parse order.  (Also,
       Ledger  assertions  do not see the accumulated effect of repeated post-
       ings to the same account within a transaction.)

       So, hledger balance assertions keep  working  if  you  reorder  differ-
       ently-dated  transactions  within  the  journal.   But  if  you reorder
       same-dated transactions or postings, assertions might break and require
       updating.   This order dependence does bring an advantage: precise con-
       trol over the order of postings and assertions within a day, so you can
       assert intra-day balances.

   Assertions and included files
       With  included  files, things are a little more complicated.  Including
       preserves the ordering of postings and assertions.  If you have  multi-
       ple  postings  to  an  account  on the same day, split across different
       files, and you also want to assert the account's balance  on  the  same
       day, you'll have to put the assertion in the right file.

   Assertions and multiple -f options
       Balance assertions don't work well across files specified with multiple
       -f options.  Use include or concatenate the files instead.

   Assertions and commodities
       The asserted balance must be a simple single-commodity amount,  and  in
       fact  the  assertion  checks  only  this commodity's balance within the
       (possibly multi-commodity) account balance.  We could call this a  par-
       tial  balance  assertion.  This is compatible with Ledger, and makes it
       possible to make assertions about accounts containing multiple commodi-
       ties.

       To  assert  each commodity's balance in such a multi-commodity account,
       you can add multiple postings (with amount 0 if necessary).   But  note
       that  no  matter  how  many  assertions  you add, you can't be sure the
       account does not contain some unexpected commodity.  (We'll add support
       for this kind of total balance assertion if there's demand.)

   Assertions and subaccounts
       Balance  assertions  do  not  count  the balance from subaccounts; they
       check the posted account's exclusive balance.  For example:

              1/1
                checking:fund   1 = 1  ; post to this subaccount, its balance is now 1
                checking        1 = 1  ; post to the parent account, its exclusive balance is now 1
                equity

       The balance report's flat mode  shows  these  exclusive  balances  more
       clearly:

              $ hledger bal checking --flat
                                 1  checking
                                 1  checking:fund
              --------------------
                                 2

   Assertions and virtual postings
       Balance assertions are checked against all postings, both real and vir-
       tual.  They are not affected by the --real/-R flag or real: query.

   Balance Assignments
       Ledger-style balance assignments are also supported.   These  are  like
       balance  assertions, but with no posting amount on the left side of the
       equals sign; instead it is calculated automatically so  as  to  satisfy
       the  assertion.   This  can be a convenience during data entry, eg when
       setting opening balances:

              ; starting a new journal, set asset account balances
              2016/1/1 opening balances
                assets:checking            = $409.32
                assets:savings             = $735.24
                assets:cash                 = $42
                equity:opening balances

       or when adjusting a balance to reality:

              ; no cash left; update balance, record any untracked spending as a generic expense
              2016/1/15
                assets:cash    = $0
                expenses:misc

       The calculated amount depends on the account's balance in the commodity
       at  that  point  (which depends on the previously-dated postings of the
       commodity to that account since the last balance assertion  or  assign-
       ment).  Note that using balance assignments makes your journal a little
       less explicit; to know the exact amount posted, you have to run hledger
       or do the calculations yourself, instead of just reading it.

   Prices
   Transaction prices
       Within  a  transaction  posting,  you  can  record an amount's price in
       another commodity.  This can be used to document the cost (for  a  pur-
       chase),  or  selling  price (for a sale), or the exchange rate that was
       used, for this transaction.  These transaction prices are fixed, and do
       not change over time.

       Amounts  with  transaction  prices  can be displayed in the transaction
       price's commodity, by  using  the  --cost/-B  flag  supported  by  most
       hledger commands (mnemonic: "cost Basis").

       There are several ways to record a transaction price:

       1. Write  the  unit price (aka exchange rate), as @ UNITPRICE after the
          amount:

                  2009/1/1
                    assets:foreign currency   100 @ $1.35  ; one hundred euros at $1.35 each
                    assets:cash

       2. Or write the total price, as @@ TOTALPRICE after the amount:

                  2009/1/1
                    assets:foreign currency   100 @@ $135  ; one hundred euros at $135 for the lot
                    assets:cash

       3. Or let hledger infer the price so as to balance the transaction.  To
          permit  this,  you must fully specify all posting amounts, and their
          sum must have a non-zero amount in exactly two commodities:

                  2009/1/1
                    assets:foreign currency   100          ; one hundred euros
                    assets:cash              $-135          ; exchanged for $135

       With any of the above examples we get:

              $ hledger print -B
              2009/01/01
                  assets:foreign currency       $135.00
                  assets:cash                  $-135.00

       Example use for transaction prices: recording the effective  conversion
       rate of purchases made in a foreign currency.

   Market prices
       Market  prices are not tied to a particular transaction; they represent
       historical exchange rates between two commodities.  (Ledger calls  them
       historical  prices.)  For  example,  the  prices  published  by a stock
       exchange or the foreign exchange market.  Some commands (balance,  cur-
       rently)  can use this information to show the market value of things at
       a given date.

       To record market prices, use P directives in the main journal or in  an
       included file.  Their format is:

              P DATE COMMODITYBEINGPRICED UNITPRICE

       DATE  is a simple date as usual.  COMMODITYBEINGPRICED is the symbol of
       the commodity being priced.  UNITPRICE is an  ordinary  amount  (symbol
       and  quantity) in a second commodity, specifying the unit price or con-
       version rate for the first commodity in terms of  the  second,  on  the
       given date.

       For  example, the following directives say that one euro was worth 1.35
       US dollars during 2009, and $1.40 from 2010 onward:

              P 2009/1/1  $1.35
              P 2010/1/1  $1.40

   Comments
       Lines in the journal beginning with a semicolon  (;)  or  hash  (#)  or
       asterisk  (*)  are  comments,  and will be ignored.  (Asterisk comments
       make it easy to treat your journal like an org-mode outline in  emacs.)

       Also,   anything  between  comment  and  end comment  directives  is  a
       (multi-line) comment.  If there is no end comment, the comment  extends
       to the end of the file.

       You  can  attach  comments  to  a transaction by writing them after the
       description and/or indented on the following lines  (before  the  post-
       ings).   Similarly, you can attach comments to an individual posting by
       writing them after the amount and/or indented on the following lines.

       Some examples:

              # a journal comment

              ; also a journal comment

              comment
              This is a multiline comment,
              which continues until a line
              where the "end comment" string
              appears on its own.
              end comment

              2012/5/14 something  ; a transaction comment
                  ; the transaction comment, continued
                  posting1  1  ; a comment for posting 1
                  posting2
                  ; a comment for posting 2
                  ; another comment line for posting 2
              ; a journal comment (because not indented)

   Tags
       Tags are a way to add extra labels or labelled  data  to  postings  and
       transactions, which you can then search or pivot on.

       A  simple  tag is a word (which may contain hyphens) followed by a full
       colon, written inside a transaction or posting comment line:

              2017/1/16 bought groceries    ; sometag:

       Tags can have a value, which is the text after the  colon,  up  to  the
       next comma or end of line, with leading/trailing whitespace removed:

                  expenses:food    $10   ; a-posting-tag: the tag value

       Note  this  means  hledger's  tag values can not contain commas or new-
       lines.  Ending at commas means you can write multiple short tags on one
       line, comma separated:

                  assets:checking       ; a comment containing tag1:, tag2: some value ...

       Here,

       o "a comment containing" is just comment text, not a tag

       o "tag1" is a tag with no value

       o "tag2" is another tag, whose value is "some value ..."

       Tags  in  a  transaction  comment affect the transaction and all of its
       postings, while tags in a posting comment  affect  only  that  posting.
       For  example,  the  following  transaction  has  three  tags  (A, TAG2,
       third-tag) and the posting has four (those plus posting-tag):

              1/1 a transaction  ; A:, TAG2:
                  ; third-tag: a third transaction tag, <- with a value
                  (a)  $1  ; posting-tag:

       Tags are like Ledger's metadata feature, except  hledger's  tag  values
       are simple strings.

   Implicit tags
       Some predefined "implicit" tags are also provided:

       o code - the transaction's code field

       o description - the transaction's description

       o payee - the part of description before |, or all of it

       o note - the part of description after |, or all of it

       payee  and  note support descriptions written in a special PAYEE | NOTE
       format, accessing the parts before and after the pipe character respec-
       tively.   For descriptions not containing a pipe character they are the
       same as description.

   Directives
   Account aliases
       You can define aliases which rewrite your account names (after  reading
       the journal, before generating reports).  hledger's account aliases can
       be useful for:

       o expanding shorthand account names to their full form, allowing easier
         data entry and a less verbose journal

       o adapting old journals to your current chart of accounts

       o experimenting with new account organisations, like a new hierarchy or
         combining two accounts into one

       o customising reports

       See also Cookbook: rewrite account names.

   Basic aliases
       To set an account alias, use the alias directive in your journal  file.
       This  affects all subsequent journal entries in the current file or its
       included files.  The spaces around the = are optional:

              alias OLD = NEW

       Or, you can use the --alias 'OLD=NEW' option on the command line.  This
       affects all entries.  It's useful for trying out aliases interactively.

       OLD and NEW are full account names.  hledger will  replace  any  occur-
       rence  of  the old account name with the new one.  Subaccounts are also
       affected.  Eg:

              alias checking = assets:bank:wells fargo:checking
              # rewrites "checking" to "assets:bank:wells fargo:checking", or "checking:a" to "assets:bank:wells fargo:checking:a"

   Regex aliases
       There is also a more powerful variant that uses a  regular  expression,
       indicated  by  the forward slashes.  (This was the default behaviour in
       hledger 0.24-0.25):

              alias /REGEX/ = REPLACEMENT

       or --alias '/REGEX/=REPLACEMENT'.

       REGEX is a case-insensitive regular expression.   Anywhere  it  matches
       inside  an  account name, the matched part will be replaced by REPLACE-
       MENT.  If REGEX contains parenthesised match groups, these can be  ref-
       erenced by the usual numeric backreferences in REPLACEMENT.  Note, cur-
       rently regular expression  aliases  may  cause  noticeable  slow-downs.
       (And if you use Ledger on your hledger file, they will be ignored.) Eg:

              alias /^(.+):bank:([^:]+)(.*)/ = \1:\2 \3
              # rewrites "assets:bank:wells fargo:checking" to  "assets:wells fargo checking"

   Multiple aliases
       You can define as many aliases as you like  using  directives  or  com-
       mand-line  options.  Aliases are recursive - each alias sees the result
       of applying previous ones.   (This  is  different  from  Ledger,  where
       aliases are non-recursive by default).  Aliases are applied in the fol-
       lowing order:

       1. alias directives, most recently seen first (recent  directives  take
          precedence over earlier ones; directives not yet seen are ignored)

       2. alias options, in the order they appear on the command line

   end aliases
       You   can  clear  (forget)  all  currently  defined  aliases  with  the
       end aliases directive:

              end aliases

   account directive
       The account directive predefines account names, as in Ledger and  Bean-
       count.   This may be useful for your own documentation; hledger doesn't
       make use of it yet.

              ; account ACCT
              ;   OPTIONAL COMMENTS/TAGS...

              account assets:bank:checking
               a comment
               acct-no:12345

              account expenses:food

              ; etc.

   apply account directive
       You can specify a  parent  account  which  will  be  prepended  to  all
       accounts  within  a  section of the journal.  Use the apply account and
       end apply account directives like so:

              apply account home

              2010/1/1
                  food    $10
                  cash

              end apply account

       which is equivalent to:

              2010/01/01
                  home:food           $10
                  home:cash          $-10

       If end apply account is omitted, the effect lasts to  the  end  of  the
       file.  Included files are also affected, eg:

              apply account business
              include biz.journal
              end apply account
              apply account personal
              include personal.journal

       Prior  to  hledger 1.0, legacy account and end spellings were also sup-
       ported.

   Multi-line comments
       A line containing just comment starts a multi-line comment, and a  line
       containing just end comment ends it.  See comments.

   commodity directive
       The  commodity directive predefines commodities (currently this is just
       informational), and also it may define the display format  for  amounts
       in this commodity (overriding the automatically inferred format).

       It may be written on a single line, like this:

              ; commodity EXAMPLEAMOUNT

              ; display AAAA amounts with the symbol on the right, space-separated,
              ; using period as decimal point, with four decimal places, and
              ; separating thousands with comma.
              commodity 1,000.0000 AAAA

       or  on  multiple  lines, using the "format" subdirective.  In this case
       the commodity symbol appears twice and  should  be  the  same  in  both
       places:

              ; commodity SYMBOL
              ;   format EXAMPLEAMOUNT

              ; display indian rupees with currency name on the left,
              ; thousands, lakhs and crores comma-separated,
              ; period as decimal point, and two decimal places.
              commodity INR
                format INR 9,99,99,999.00

   Default commodity
       The  D  directive  sets a default commodity (and display format), to be
       used for amounts without a commodity symbol (ie, plain numbers).  (Note
       this  differs from Ledger's default commodity directive.) The commodity
       and display format will be applied  to  all  subsequent  commodity-less
       amounts, or until the next D directive.

              # commodity-less amounts should be treated as dollars
              # (and displayed with symbol on the left, thousands separators and two decimal places)
              D $1,000.00

              1/1
                a     5    # <- commodity-less amount, becomes $1
                b

   Default year
       You  can set a default year to be used for subsequent dates which don't
       specify a year.  This is a line beginning with Y followed by the  year.
       Eg:

              Y2009      ; set default year to 2009

              12/15      ; equivalent to 2009/12/15
                expenses  1
                assets

              Y2010      ; change default year to 2010

              2009/1/30  ; specifies the year, not affected
                expenses  1
                assets

              1/31       ; equivalent to 2010/1/31
                expenses  1
                assets

   Including other files
       You  can  pull in the content of additional journal files by writing an
       include directive, like this:

              include path/to/file.journal

       If the path does not begin with a slash, it is relative to the  current
       file.  Glob patterns (*) are not currently supported.

       The  include  directive  can  only  be  used  in journal files.  It can
       include journal, timeclock or timedot files, but not CSV files.

EDITOR SUPPORT
       Add-on modes exist for various text editors, to make working with jour-
       nal  files  easier.   They add colour, navigation aids and helpful com-
       mands.  For hledger users who  edit  the  journal  file  directly  (the
       majority), using one of these modes is quite recommended.

       These  were  written  with  Ledger  in mind, but also work with hledger
       files:
