This Emacs library provides a major mode for editing files in the
format used by the ledger
command-line accounting system.
It also provides automated support for some ledger workflows, such
as reconciling transactions, or running certain reports.
If you choose not to use one of the convenient
packages in MELPA or MELPA Stable, you'll need to
add the directory containing ledger-mode.el to your load-path, and
then (require 'ledger-mode).
Earlier ledger-mode versions had an always-on TAB completion system,
but now the code uses the standard Emacs completion-at-point system
for compatibility with all completion UIs, e.g. company or helm.
See the "Adding Transactions" section of the ledger-mode Info manual for more information.
ledger-mode will automatically associate itself with .ledger files when
installed as a package. ledger-mode includes documentation in info format,
accessible through Emacs with C-h i. The info chapter includes a
quick demo as well as more extensive documentation.
In-buffer checking of formatting and balancing of transactions is available
built-in for Emacs version 26 and later using flymake-mode. For flycheck users
(and users of Emacs 25 and earlier), flycheck-ledger is
available.
