On the other hand, keeping the donor information into a custom directive
does not seem optimal to me. As your big comment block above the custom
directive suggests, the custom directive does not enforce any structure
on the fields (and allows only strings and not more complex data types,
but this may not be a limitation of this specific use).
Thinking about it a tiny bit more, if you really want to use a custom
directive to record the donor data, using metadata for the different
fields seems much nicer:
2024-09-28 custom "donor" "john-smith"
name: "John Smith"
address: "123 First Street"
city: "Palo Alto"
state: "CA"
zipcode: "93501"
phone: "123-456-7890"
email: "[email protected]"
However, there is still no way to extract this using bean-query (and
while typing this I also realized that Emacs beancount-mode also does
not do syntax highlighting for the custom directive).
Although, if someone has a concrete use-case and a nice idea ion how to
expose custom directive in a BQL table, it would not be difficult to add
it to bean-query.
Cheers,
Dan
