A commodity directive that doesn't specify the decimal point character increases ambiguity and the chance of misparsing numbers, especially as it overrides all style information inferred from the journal amounts. In some cases it caused amounts with a decimal point to be parsed as if with a digit group separator so 1.234 became 1234. We could augment it with extra info from the journal amounts, when available, but it would still be possible to be ambiguous, and that won't be obvious. A commodity directive is what we recommend to nail down the style. It seems the simple and really only way to do this reliably is to require an explicit decimal point character. Most folks probably do this already. Unfortunately, it makes another potential incompatiblity with ledger and beancount journals. But the error message will be clear and easy to work around. |

hledger
lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).
It is first a command-line tool, but there are also curses-style and web interfaces, and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.
hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks to gain clarity and control in their finances and time management, but currently it is a bit more suited to techies. I use it every day to:
- track spending and income
- see time reports by day/week/month/project
- get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
- track invoices
Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, more future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
