#### Account comments
[Comments](#comments), beginning with a semicolon, optionally including [tags](journal.html#tags),
can be written after the account name, and/or on following lines. Eg:
[Comments](#comments), beginning with a semicolon, can be added:
- on the same line, **after two or more spaces**
(because ; is allowed in account names)
- on the next lines, indented
An example of both:
```journal
account assets:bank:checking ; a comment
; another comment
; acctno:12345, a tag
account assets:bank:checking ; same-line comment, note 2+ spaces before ;
; next-line comment
; another with tag, acctno:12345 (not used yet)
```
Tip: comments on the same line require hledger 1.12+.
If you need your journal to be compatible with older hledger versions,
write comments on the next line instead.
Same-line comments are not supported by Ledger, or hledger <1.13.
<!-- Account comments may include [tags](journal.html#tags), though we don't yet use them for anything. -->
