I am confused why %D and %[] don't work in the --format here:
Contents of test.ledger
2012/01/01 Testing
Unearned Income:Test $-500.00
Assets:Checking $500.00
$ ledger --version
Ledger 3.0.0-20120518, the command-line accounting tool
$ ledger --format "%[%Y/%m/%d] %-.10C %-.80P %-.80N %18t %18T\n" -f
test.ledger reg 'Assets:Checking'
Error: Unrecognized formatting character: [
$ ledger --format "%D %-.10C %-.80P %-.80N %18t %18T\n" -f test.ledger reg
'Assets:Checking'
Error: Unrecognized formatting character: D
$ ledger -y '%Y/%m/%d' --format '%D\n' -f test.ledger reg 'Assets:Checking'
Error: Unrecognized formatting character: D
Removing any reference to date, it works:
$ ledger --format "%-.10C %-.80P %-.80N %18t %18T\n" -f test.ledger reg
'Assets:Checking'
(null) Testing
(null)
$500.00 $500.00
ledger3.texi says:
@item [DATEFMT]
... For example: @samp{%[%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S]}.
...
@item D
By default, this is the same as @samp{%[%Y/%m%/d]}.
What am I doing wrong?
BTW, another related problem, ledger3.texi says:
@item C
Inserts the checking number for a transaction, in parentheses, followed by
a space; if none was specified, nothing is inserted.
But, instead as seen above, (null) is inserted.
Same is sort of true for N:
@item N
Inserts the note associated with a posting, if one exists.
