In each info manual's DIR-ENTRY metadata, it's best to use just the
filename, with no subdirectory. This should facilitate working info
manuals in packaged versions of hledger, eg in nix.
I don't remember the detail of why I added those and I'm not going to
spend a couple of hours retesting; hopefully no other significant
workflows will be affected.
I have left the subdirectory paths in the dir file - this is intended
for hledger developers and they hopefully don't cause a problem there.
This change provides more predictable and intuitive behaviour when
using -S/--sort-amount with multiple commodities.
It implements a custom Ord (and Eq) instance for MixedAmount
which substitutes zero for any missing commodities.
As a consequence, all the ways of representing zero with a MixedAmount ([],
[A 0], [A 0, B 0, ...]) are now Eq-ual (==), whereas before they were
not. We have not been able to find anything broken by this change.
* imp: lib: Compare MixedAmounts by substituting zero for any missing commodities. (#1563)
* ;doc: Update docs for new multicommodity sort by amount rules.
Also corrects a regression introduced in
8ab29f84b32288a34ae7627a2204081fae31900f where transaction modifier
postings without multipliers would incorrectly be filtered by commodity.
This continues the work begun by #1585. It moves each info manual's
directory metadata to the top of the file, where it needs to be.
I couldn't see a way to do this with pandoc/makeinfo, so the Shake
recipe prepends it from a separate file.
With this metadata in place, the hledger info manuals can be added to
an Info dir file using install-info. Eg:
$ install-info hledger/hledger.info /usr/local/share/info/dir
$ info
Secondly, the Shake "manuals"/"infomanuals" recipes now also generate
an Info dir file in each package directory, so you can also just add
the package directories to your INFOPATH. Eg:
$ export INFOPATH=~/src/hledger/hledger:~/src/hledger/hledger-ui:~/src/hledger/hledger-web:$INFOPATH
$ info
The hledger manuals shall now use at most four levels of headings,
avoiding loss of structure when viewed in Info format.
CSV fields list, field assignemt, and field names section have
been expanded.
The individual field headings have been renamed ("X field") to avoid
clashing with "Transactions"'s subheadings. They can now be opened
directly in info mode, eg: hledger help 'amount field'
transactions are balanced possibly using explicit prices, but without
inferring any prices. This is included in --strict mode.
Renames check autobalanced to check balancedwithautoconversion.
