Simon Michael e4aaa302ce doc: use m4 just to assemble main hledger man page
I was about to drop the m4 experiment, but.. not yet. I want to split up
the big man pages into chunks that are easier to deal with, so now using
m4 for that (only. Pandoc is taking care of selective content stripping
and other rendering adjustments.)

I've switched the suffix of m4-enabled files from .md.m4 to .m4.md -
less correct but activates more useful editor highlighting.

NAME

hledger - a command-line accounting tool

SYNOPSIS

hledger [-f FILE] COMMAND [OPTIONS] [CMDARGS]
hledger [-f FILE] ADDONCMD -- [OPTIONS] [CMDARGS]

DESCRIPTION

hledger is a cross-platform program for tracking money, time, or any other commodity, using double-entry accounting and a simple, editable file format. It is inspired by and largely compatible with ledger(1). hledger aims to be a reliable, practical tool for daily use. This man page is a quick reference and introduction; for more complete docs, see http://hledger.org/manual.

ENVIRONMENT

LEDGER_FILE sets the default journal file path. If not set, it is ~/.hledger.journal.

COLUMNS sets the default width used by the register command (normally the full terminal width).

FILES

Reads data from a hledger journal file ($LEDGER_FILE or ~/.hledger.journal by default), or a CSV file plus associated CSV rules file.

BUGS

The need to precede options with -- when invoked from hledger is awkward.

hledger cant render non-ascii characters when run from a Windows command prompt (up to Windows 7 at least).

When input data contains non-ascii characters, a suitable system locale must be configured (or there will be an unhelpful error). Eg on POSIX, set LANG to something other than C.
