Re: accounting
i don't know if this is the best, but for some reason i had it so that ledger goes into a block [used to be example or so, now is ledger], and then post-process it with a shell source block. perhaps this will make more sense [in the distant past it made more sense to me]. when i process it, i call the source block, which means to run the shell, which calls the ledger command on the data i keep in org. for some reason it outputs each line to the minibuffer, which is a bit slow. but it is not a big deal. and i am not sure about searches.

Re: Accounting WAS Emacs-orgmode Digest, Vol 179, Issue 4
I do not use ledger within org-mode bit use a combo of libraries to make
ledger entries *look* and act like org-mode with folding. I find this work
(for me) much better than trying to mess with babel and having inline
ledger (basically, I treat my ledger file as a... ahem... ledger... I track
personal, budget, stock portfolio this way. It's very flexible and way way
better than using Quicken which does find with my Canuck accounts, but
cannot integrate my SG bank or stock broker.).
So I use `ledger-mode` directly configured like this in my init.el
```
;; == Ledger mode =
(use-package ledger-mode
:ensure t
:defer t
:hook
(ledger-mode . outline-minor-mode)
:bind
(:map ledger-mode-map
("TAB" . org-cycle))
:config
(font-lock-add-keywords 'ledger-mode outline-font-lock-keywords)
:mode
("\\.ledger$" . ledger-mode)
)
This also allows stars to deliineate hierarchy in the ledger and then fold
and unfold like an org doc. Super handy.
So, in one pane on my screen I have the ledger open (the tricky thing is
always setting up accounts and opening balances though there are some nice
tutorials for setting those up (if you have multiple currencies, *do* set
up accounts by currency early
eg. Assets:CAD:Bank of Montreal
Assets:SGD:OCBC
and for Liabilities like Credit Cards, lines of credit etc as well
The nice thing about this is you can have the ledger buffer open in one
panel and use C-{COR} for pulling up a balance report in the other pane
which automatically balances when you save the ledger file.
Also, in practical terms for day to day, rather than input things manually,
I highly recommend downloading csvs (or similar formats) from your bank and
using the ruby gem `reckon` which is a bayesian predictor that will learn
from your ledger on how to expense your bank account entries and then write
out the ledger file for you. Super handy.
Overly long blog post here:
https://daryl.wakatara.com/tracking-your-finances-with-reckon-and-ledger/
to get you goin if it's not just a formatting thing.
It also has some suggestions for category setups and the like.
Ledger is a bit steep to get started with but once you've got it setup it
does not require much time (especially with reckon) and is way more
flexible than something like Quicken if you have a complex financial life.
Anyhow, you do need to vinset a little time, but I have to admit I am
pretty impressed with it.
As someone else noted, you can also take a look at beancount, though I
personally still prefer the emacs integration available in ledger.
Hope this helped!
ciao !
Daryl.
PS> Even outside of emacs, I'd personally love to see people build some
more tools on top of the ledger format. I keep wanting to take a shot at
some portfolio tools, but never seem to be able to fit in the time. =]

[Orgmode] Personal accounting with emacs, org and...?
Hey list, I was wondering if anyone out there manages his personal accounting with org. I never really managed my personal finances, but I think it's about time to know where my money comes from and where it is going (and where the leaks are :P). I would use something like lessaccounting.com, but I would rather integrate it into my orgmode-based PIM. Any ideas?

Great to hear.
It does look like there is fertile ground for Babel-Ledger

[1] as a mostly unrelated sidebar I've recently started using the
following 4-line function in place of an ob-javascript.el, for
embedding javascript in exported html

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent :exports none

(format script type=\text/javascript\
