And I see now that it's only top line and before line item comments that
get attached to all items, and trailing comments are attached just to the
preceding item, which makes sense and is great.
2018/07/04 something ; top line
; next line
e: a thing $30
; belongs to a thing
e: another thing $20
; belongs to another thing
; fu: bar
; sna: fu
a: cash $-50
Comes out as:
"2018/07/04","","something","e: a thing","$","30",""," belongs to a thing
top line\n next line"
"2018/07/04","","something","e: another thing","$","20",""," belongs to
another thing\n fu: bar\n sna: fu top line\n next line"
"2018/07/04","","something","a: cash","$","-50",""," top line\n next line"
Which makes sense and I'm much happier to better understand ledger's
comments now.
