				| @ -962,7 +962,13 @@ A query term can be any of the following: | ||||
| - `real:1` or `real:0` - match real/virtual-ness | ||||
| - `empty:1` or `empty:0` - match if amount is/is not zero | ||||
| - `amt:N` or `amt:=N`, `amt:<N`, `amt:>N` - match postings with a single-commodity amount equal to, less than, or greater than N. (Multi-commodity amounts are always matched.) | ||||
| - `sym:REGEX` - match (whole) commodity symbols | ||||
| - `sym:REGEX` - match postings or transactions including any amounts | ||||
|   whose commodity symbol is fully matched by REGEX. (For a partial | ||||
|   match, use `.*REGEX.*`). Note, to match the dollar sign (`$`) you | ||||
|   need to prepend `\` so it's not interpreted as the regular | ||||
|   expression metacharacter.  And when running hledger from the | ||||
|   command-line, you may need one more level of quoting to hide it from | ||||
|   the shell, eg: `hledger print sym:\\$` or `hledger print sym:'\$'`. | ||||
| - `not:` before any of the above negates the match | ||||
