awesome! thank you! i'll look at it tomorrow when i have more brain cells and time. :) i knew i read something about that two days ago in my first read through of their docs, but their documention is hard to scan easily. it's good compared to some but it should be broken into smaller parts. and they definitely need a way to hide the left side to expand the text you can see. it's not a very good design. as i also hate popups on mousing over something (which github does and it sucks when things get in the way of what you're trying to read)... ok my rant for the evening is over... :) thanks again! fin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
