Is there a way to double-space the output of reports (e.g., a register
report) so that there is a blank line between each entry?
What appears to be happening is that ledger has a built-in replace-regexp
that removes any extra `\n` beyond just one at the end of the report
format. Through trial and error, I have found two workarounds, neither of
them being absolutely perfect.
#1 workaround: Place a `\n` at the beginning of the format string and
another `\n` at the end of the format string.
#2 workaround: Place a `\n` form-feed `\n` at the end of the format string.
With workaround #1, there is an extra blank line at the beginning of the
report.
With workaround #2, each line without an entry has a form-feed character.
Sure, I can use Emacs to fix anything after the report has been generated,
either by modifying the report string before it is inserted into the buffer
or modifying the buffer after the report string has been inserted. I could
also use Emacs to change the form-feed character into anything else using
the buffer-display-table to modify that entry. I could use another ascii
character instead of form-feed, such as a zero-width-space (although I
haven't tried that). After a few days, I might even start to like seeing
the form-feed character -- who knows...
All of that being said, is there any way to just use `\n\n` or another
setting that accomplishes the same thing?
Here is my report format. I need to use a custom register format because
the ledger executable has a bug that cannot deal with very long payee lines
when using the built-in register-format where mandatory truncation fails
and the report stops being generated at the segfault something 1024. At
some point, I'll file a formal bug report. I'm actually quite happy using
my own report format ... I just need some double-spacing for readability ...
(let ((register-format (concat "\"%(!cleared"
" ? ansify_if (date, bold)"
" : ansify_if (date, blue if color))"
" %(ansify_if (justify (truncated
(display_account, int(account_width), int(abbrev_len)),
int(account_width)),"
" white if color))"
" %((display_amount < 0)"
" ? (!cleared"
" ? ansify_if (justify (scrub
(display_amount), 13, -1, true, color), bold)"
" : justify (scrub (display_amount),
13, -1, true, color))"
" : ansify_if (justify (scrub
(display_amount), 13, -1, true, color), black if color))"
" %((display_total < 0)"
" ? justify (scrub (display_total), 13, -1,
true, color)"
" : ansify_if (justify (scrub
(display_total), 13, -1, true, color), black if color))"
" %(cleared"
" ? ansify_if (\\\"*\\\", yellow if color)"
" : (pending"
" ? ansify_if (\\\"!\\\", magenta if
color)"
" : \\\" \\\"))"
" %(ansify_if (payee, blink if color and
!cleared and actual))\n \n\"")))
...)
