Subdirectives: any text, ignored. |
-| **[`alias`]** | Rewrites account names, in following entries until end of current file or [`end aliases`]. |
-| **[`apply account`]** | Prepends a common parent account to all account names, in following entries until end of current file or [`end apply account`]. |
-| **[`comment`]** | Ignores part of the journal file, until end of current file or [`end comment`]. |
-| **[`commodity`]** | Declares a commodity, for checking all entries in all files;
the decimal mark for parsing amounts of this commodity, for following entries until end of current file;
and its display style, for reports. Takes precedence over `D`.
Subdirectives: [`format`] (alternate syntax). |
-| **[`D`]** | Sets a default commodity to use for no-symbol amounts,
and its decimal mark for parsing amounts of this commodity in following entries until end of current file;
and its display style, for reports. |
-| **[`decimal-mark`]** | Declares the decimal mark, for parsing amounts of all commodities in following entries until next `decimal-mark` or end of current file. Included files can override. Takes precedence over `commodity` and `D`. |
-| **[`include`]** | Includes entries and directives from another file, as if they were written inline. |
-| **[`payee`]** | Declares a payee name, for checking all entries in all files. |
