Hello all,
I am new to PTA and Beancount. I am trying to begin entering transactions
and I get errors when I run bean-check and I am not sure why, I get invalid
tokens on the line I list my Expenses:dentist, Expenses:auto:gas etc.
I added the expense accounts to the list of open accounts and that did not
solve my problem. I am using Emacs bean count mode and I did notice the
Assets and Liabilities are bold however next to the open directive and also
bold under my initial balance transaction. The getting started says have a
section, but does not say to add the expenses with the open directive, I am
just not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here is the contents of my file:
