Ledger infers what format you want to see your dollars in from how you have written them in your ledger file. Try writing one of your expense/tax inputs to 3 decimal places. If you rerun ledger it should then display all dollar amounts rounded to 3 decimal places. This will at least let you see where you are getting fractional cents. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
