Simon Michael 3baad5d729 cli: render command help as plain text, hiding markup
This means committing a bunch more generated files, but it's probably
worthwhile, so we can have both rich hyperlinked/styled command docs
and clean readable command help.

balancesheet, bs\
This command displays a simple balance sheet, showing historical ending
balances of asset and liability accounts (ignoring any report begin
date). It assumes that these accounts are under a top-level `asset` or
`liability` account (case insensitive, plural forms also allowed).
Note this report shows all account balances with normal positive sign
(like conventional financial statements, unlike balance/print/register)
(experimental).
*FLAGS*
Example:
``` {.shell}
$ hledger balancesheet
Balance Sheet
Assets:
$-1 assets
$1 bank:saving
$-2 cash
--------------------
$-1
Liabilities:
$1 liabilities:debts
--------------------
$1
Total:
--------------------
0
```
With a [reporting interval](#reporting-interval), multiple columns will
be shown, one for each report period. As with [multicolumn balance
reports](#multicolumn-balance-reports), you can alter the report mode
with `--change`/`--cumulative`/`--historical`. Normally balancesheet
shows historical ending balances, which is what you need for a balance
sheet; note this means it ignores report begin dates.
This command also supports [output
destination](/manual.html#output-destination) and [output
format](/manual.html#output-format) selection.
