If so, there's nothing ledger can do about it ;-) On 1 October 2014 14:27, o1bigtenor <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 2:14 AM, Martin Blais <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The numbers reported do sum up exactly to 0. >> This is probably due to some of the postings being auto-generated from a >> rule, with some arithmetic operations resulting in fractions not being >> displayed. >> >> (The correct way to handle this would be to specify what the precision >> (rounding) of those operations should be.) >> >> >> On Sat, Sep 27, 2014 at 3:43 AM, o1bigtenor <[email protected]> wrote: >>> > >>> > >>> > On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 10:16 AM, Craig Earls <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> >> >>> >> Internally ledger does not need to round because it uses exact ratios >>> of >>> >> integers.
