John,

Thanks very much for your quick response!

I am building a whole list of things that are not right about the
ledger3.texi file and things I've noticed are different from 2.6.2.  I'm
trying to meet a deadline for our accountants (which is what precipitated
my Ledger 3.x switch), so I can't stop to document better now, but I'll
hope to give a series of patches after my deadline has been met to
improve the docs in ledger3.texi and add stuff to the "changes since
2.6.x" section.  I've added this issue:

> Ledger 3 doesn't use one-letter format characters, or %[] anymore.  It
> uses the more universal %(valexpr) syntax.  For example, %(date).

... to my list.

> Until valexprs are fully documented, I recommend looking in
> src/report.h, to find examples that are similar to what you might want
> to do.

I'll also try to put together a patch to ledger3.texi that documents some
of this.

FWIW, I've put the list in my gitorious repository for ledger:

  
https://gitorious.org/ledger/ledger/blobs/notes-on-2-6-2-to-3-changes/doc/changes-list-from-2-6-2.txt

It's rough, just notes to remind me what I encountered for now.
