Interesting. I stumbled upon this very same problem just yesterday and ended up, at first, implementing your solution --- even though I used an "Accounts payable:Credit card" account, because in my case I have a significant delay between the transaction listed on my credit card statement and the corresponding one in my bank statement, so that seemed to make sense. After reading John's post today, I've switch to his solution, which looks more elegant. However, I've also noticed a drawback: ledger implements the UUID trick, but hledger doesn't. In a sense, the transfer account solution is more portable. FWIW, my current use case for hledger is to expose (on a private website) transactions to my family, whereas I use ledger-cli for my own processing of the very same transactions. If there are better solutions to expose (even read-only) ledger transactions on the web, I'd like to hear about them. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . .
