2011-10-25 Thread Craig Earls
If anyone is using the org mode could you shoot me a line?  I have some
questions about how you use it with ledger.

I do use both org mode and ledger mode but I do not know what you mean by
using both together.

John,
 thanks for the link.  Is the org command to allow round trip editing
through org mode, or have I misinterpreted its purpose.

I didn't know about the org command until now, but it appears to produce
reports formatted in org's table format. Org's table format, like the rest
of org, is plain text based but it has all sorts of spreadsheet
capabilities. So think of the org command as dumping the data into a
plain-text spreadsheet.

If you'd like more info about org tables, see:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-spreadsheet-intro.html

and 

http://orgmode.org/org.html#The-spreadsheet

(As you'll see right away, I misunderstood your initial question about
this, and pointed in my last message to an integration of org and ledger
that deals with getting data into ledger rather than reporting out.)

Thanks for your work on the docs.
