You actually don't have any control over how numbers are formatted from within
a format statement! I just never thought of that, although it would not be
hard at all to add.
Rather, Ledger pays attention to how you USE a currency, like $, and tries to
echo back amounts to you in the same way that it saw you use them. The "D"
directive (for (d)efault settings), allows you to specify the "shape" amounts
should generally take, like:
D $1,000.00
At the moment that is the best I can offer, although having a formatting
function like "format_amount" would be both fairly easy to do, and a good
idea.
