I love to be able to quickly i-search all over with Emacs, and I use org-mode to make it manageable. I know others work like you suggest you do, one top-level file with includes and subfiles. (One concern is on the treatment of options. I think the top-level file is the one whose option directive take effect. This hasn't been thought out super well TBH, because the ability to add include files has been bolted on late, as per someone's request. I think what ought to be done is to review all the options and categorized them between file- or global- scopes, or something like that.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
