Something similar is already possible using tags (see below). I was
however looking for input on naming etc. not further features as I
have limited time to work on ledger at the moment.
$ cat sample.dat
= .*
; profit:: account('Income').total
2004/05/01 * Checking balance
Assets:Bank:Checking $1,000.00
Equity:Opening Balances
$ ledger -f sample.dat xml
<transactions>
<transaction state="cleared">
...
<postings>
<posting state="cleared">
...
<metadata>
<value key="profit">
<amount>
<commodity flags="PT">
<symbol>$</symbol>
</commodity>
<quantity>-1000</quantity>
</amount>
</value>
</metadata>
Is this what you were looking for?
