Here in examples/ you’ll find a mixed bag of sample journals, time
logs, CSV rules, scripts, etc. Like the Cookbook docs, these vary in age
and quality; “examples” here does not mean “exemplary”. Some may be
ready to use; some are to be studied and adapted; some are just for
interest; some are outdated and best ignored.
The content here is not necessarily stable but here are some
subcategories as of 2024-01:
budgeting - some budgeting-related journals
costs - some examples of cost notation
csv - a growing collection of rules and maybe
helper scripts you can use and adapt for reading real world CSV/TSV/SSV
