Can i make a feature request then? That you recognize org-babel markup. e.g. when the source file is .org you can parse this example:
# -*- mode: org; mode: beancount; coding: utf-8; -*- #+STARTUP: showall This is an example of my journal These are my options #+BEGIN_SRC beancount option "title" "Beancount journal of Favours earned and Boons given."option "operating_currency" "BOONS"option "operating_currency" "FAVOURS"#+END_SRC beancount So that i can embed transactions into an org document, and not have to use org-babel to use beancount?
