That's good enough as I wouldn't necessarily mix the data entry with checking the reports too much. > > >> Speaking of which, the drawback of the Google Docs is that it is not easy >> to search all of them for references to bean-web, otherwise I would read >> more about it. >> > > It's on the cutting board for the next version.

You must be really sick of all those anti-GDocs suggestions. :)) In any case, I'm a MarkDown fan so I'll put it on my to-do list right away.

Thanks. Not sure if it this is pushing too far but have you been thinking of using Git and some of the Git hosting sites? I mean, you surely have but I'd like to read your thoughts on that. I just installed beancount on my Linux box at home and find the whole chain somewhat archaic even though I was hooked on Hg almost a decade ago, in contrast to Git. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
