Goal: Generate man pages and web docs from one source. Current plan: The master docs for each package are now the pandoc-style manpage-markdown files in the package directories - hledger/hledger.1.md, hledger-lib/hledger_journal.5.md, etc. Parts of these will be marked as web-only, and parts as man-only, using divs recognisable by custom pandoc filters. When generating man pages we strip the web-only parts, and all html blocks, inline html and hyperlinks. When generating web docs we strip the man-only parts and apply any other tweaks needed for easy presentation, perhaps combining them into a single web page similar to the old user manual. Shake: This was hard to do with GNU Make, and so I've introduced Shake, which is working very well. Both coexist for now but it's probably time to switch. |

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.
