-
-hledger is an accounting program, for tracking money, time, or
-other commodities, on unix, mac and windows. With simple yet powerful
-functionality accessed from command line, terminal or web browser, it is a
-dependable, cross-platform alternative to Quicken, GnuCash, spreadsheets etc.
-
-<div class="indent0">
-### plain text ? How does that work ?
-
-**Step 1:**
-Record your transactions in a plain text file.
-(Use hledger's interactive assistant.. the web interface.. any text editor.. a shell alias.. CSV/OFX import..)
-<!-- using a simple format. -->
-<!-- Do it daily, or all at once. -->
-<!-- Record what you know; you'll get better at it. -->
-
-**Step 2:**
-Ask hledger about your accounts.. transactions.. balances.. currencies.. monthly averages.. budgets.. market values..
-You can start very simply, and get more sophisticated as you learn more about double-entry accounting.
-
-There is an enthusiastic and growing community practising this way of accounting.
-which can be quite educational and enjoyable.
-If you'd like more background,
-we have collected many useful resources at **[plaintextaccounting.org](http://plaintextaccounting.org)**.
-
-Read on for more about hledger, or if you're keen to get going,
-**[download](download.html)** it and start the **[tutorial](step-by-step.html)** now!
-
-<!-- I use it for: -->
-
-<!-- - tracking spending and income -->
-<!-- - seeing time reports by day/week/month/project -->
-<!-- - getting accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing -->
-<!-- - tracking invoices -->
-<!-- - building financial and time clarity and serenity -->

-### inspired by Ledger
-
-hledger is a Haskell reimplementation of the excellent [Ledger](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/wiki/FAQ#hledger--ledger).
-It remains substantially compatible with Ledger, and if you wish you can keep your data compatible with both.

+What's new in each hledger version.
 
-hledger is first a command-line tool.
-Your data lives in a plain text journal file which you can edit
-any way you wish; hledger reads that file and produces reports of
-various kinds, without changing your data. (It can help you add new
-transactions, but does not change existing ones.)

+hledger is an accounting program, for tracking money, time, or
+other commodities, on unix, mac and windows. With simple yet powerful
+functionality accessed from command line, terminal or web browser, it is a
+dependable, cross-platform alternative to Quicken, GnuCash, spreadsheets etc.
+
+<div class="indent0">
+### plain text ? How does that work ?
+
+**Step 1:**
+Record your transactions in a plain text file.
+(Use hledger's interactive assistant.. the web interface.. any text editor.. a shell alias.. CSV/OFX import..)
+<!-- using a simple format. -->
+<!-- Do it daily, or all at once. -->
+<!-- Record what you know; you'll get better at it. -->
+
+**Step 2:**
+Ask hledger about your accounts.. transactions.. balances.. currencies.. monthly averages.. budgets.. market values..
+You can start very simply, and get more sophisticated as you learn more about double-entry accounting.
+
+There is an enthusiastic and growing community practising this way of accounting.
+which can be quite educational and enjoyable.
+If you'd like more background,
+we have collected many useful resources at **[plaintextaccounting.org](http://plaintextaccounting.org)**.
+
+Read on for more about hledger, or if you're keen to get going,
+**[download](download.html)** it and start the **[tutorial](step-by-step.html)** now!
+
+<!-- I use it for: -->
+
+<!-- - tracking spending and income -->
+<!-- - seeing time reports by day/week/month/project -->
+<!-- - getting accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing -->
+<!-- - tracking invoices -->
+<!-- - building financial and time clarity and serenity -->

+### inspired by Ledger
+
+hledger is a Haskell reimplementation of the excellent [Ledger](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/wiki/FAQ#hledger--ledger).
+It remains substantially compatible with Ledger, and if you wish you can keep your data compatible with both.
+Read more about the differences in the [FAQ](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/wiki/FAQ#hledger--ledger).

+
+hledger is first a command-line tool.
+Your data lives in a plain text journal file which you can edit
+any way you wish; hledger reads that file and produces reports of
+various kinds, without changing your data. (It can help you add new
+transactions, but does not change existing ones.)

+hledger also provides a curses-style [console&nbsp;interface](manual#ui)

+hledger is written in Haskell, a modern, highly-regarded
+programming language which contributes to hledger's robustness,
+performance and long-term maintainability.  Most functionality is
+exposed as
+[reusable](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib)
+[Haskell](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger)
+[libraries](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-web), making it
+easy to write your own hledger-compatible
+[scripts](more-docs.html#scripting-examples), [add-ons](manual.html#add-ons) and
+applications.
