Hello folks, I am just getting started with Beancount and was excited about:
> Any line that does not begin as a valid Beancount syntax directive (e.g. with a date) is silently ignored. from the language syntax guide, but that turned out to be out-dated ( https://github.com/beancount/beancount/issues/388). I got kinda attached to the idea of a "literate programming" ledger, so I thought of a proposal that I think could fit well into the current plugin architecture: I/O plugins. These intercept and transform the raw file input/output (I/O) stream before Beancount's standard parser sees the content. For easier commenting, I wrote the up in more detail at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16conmm3cKC4raXnFW1UiiSmMGIhs0qO2oLK2siHUBOI/edit?usp=sharing I've also started prototyping these ideas at https://github.com/tswast/beancount/pull/1. I'd love to hear your thoughts. --Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
