The only problem I have is that I don't want any output to be cropped due to the fact that it does not fit into one line in the command line output. This basically only affects accounts, due to nesting.
--format looks good, but I guess I was looking for something higher level. Just a switch to avoid the text shrinking to fit the width. Maybe xml would be a better option, and calculating balances myself with the output. Would that make sense? Just to be clear, it's not possible to output balances in xml format, right?
