Re: formatting in ledger, trying to get display_total in a straight line.

[Sam Tetruashvili]

I've had a similar problem and added the following to my .ledgerrc

--balance-format %(justify(scrub(display_total), 20, -1, true, color))
> %(!options.flat ? depth_spacer :
> '')%-(ansify_if(partial_account(options.flat), cyan if
> color))\n%/%$1\n%/\n
>

The only difference here is that I print out the value of each account
before the name of each account (I did this because I have some long
account names). You could probably start with this and edit it to suit your
needs. The justify command is how I align the display_total values printed
to the terminal. Also, if you don't like the cyan color feel free to swap
it with any other terminal text color (I used cyan because the default dark
blue text for the account names doesn't provide enough contrast on a black
terminal).

Re: formatting in ledger, trying to get display_total in a straight line.

[James]

Yes. Absolutely,
The desired output is like in the Ledger manual example:-

https://imgur.com/a/hhJjDrd

When I try doing this on my machine the display totals(and percent values) 
are messy. They are not straight but rather squiggly. I think it has to do 
something with the formatting commands. 

Current Output :

 Food 10.00 USD
  Water 5.00 USD
  Egg 2.00 USD
  Cheese 3.00 USD



Desired Output : 

 Food   10.00 USD
  Water  5.00 USD
  Egg  2.00 USD
  Cheese   3.00 USD

Can you provide an example of your desired output?

formatting in ledger, trying to get display_total in a straight line.

[James]

Hi,

I am struggling with ledger formatting. I am trying to get the total amount 
in a straight line. 

--format "\ %((depth_spacer)+(partial_account))\  %(display_total)\n%/"


I am not very good with the formatting and would appreciate if someone 
could help with the above so that the display_total is indented (and in a 
straight line).

Thanks !
