| The new m4manpages, m4webmanpages targets generate nroff and markdown man pages via an alternate, excitingly complicated process, involving shake, hakyll, pandoc *and* m4. Currently just the hledger man page is processed this way, and the output (hledger/doc/m4-hledger.1, site/m4-hledger.1.md) is equivalent to that of the non-m4 process. Pro: selecting and massaging web/man content may be smoother with m4 than with pandoc filters. File inclusion allows documentation to be broken up into chunks, which may be easier to edit, reorganize and reuse. Macros could reduce boilerplate and enable more featureful and attractive docs. Con: the non-m4 process was simpler, easier to for contributors to understand and working well enough. YAGNI. | ||

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.
