Now instead of ledger reg expense -p "this month", you can say:
ledger reg expense for this month
And as a shorthand for "for until this month", you can just say "until
this month" or "since this month".
For example:
ledger bal assets bold checking
Or you can use expressions:
ledger bal assets bold '=total > 1000'
This last is identical to saying:
ledger bal -l 'account =~ /assets/' --bold-if='total > 1000'
If you have a typed metadata key which contains an amount, you can use
--inject=KEY to inject a posting with that amount wherever a match
occurs. There are two main forms of usage:
2010-06-18 Sample
; Key:: $100
Expenses:Food $100.00
Assets:Checking
The command would be:
ledger reg --inject=Key
In the above, transactional form, a posting under the account "Key" will
be injected before the first posting reported for this transaction.
It's amount will be $100. This only happens once for the whole
transaction.
It is also possible to associate the key with a posting:
2010-06-18 Sample
Expenses:Food $100.00
; Key:: $100
Assets:Checking
Now the injected posting is generated whenever that particular post is
reported.
This is used by reports like register and balance so that separated
commodities without spaces in them needed be surrounded by quotes. It
will still occur in most other places.

With -s, -M/Y/D, -n, and a few other flags, postings get "grouped" into
meta-transactions that contain more postings than before. In all these
cases, -V use the date of the *earliest* posting in that group, which
makes little sense and caused breakages with -J. It now uses the latest
date.

With -X COMM, all values are computed in terms of COMM, regardless.
With -V, only secondary commodities will ever be computed, never
primaries. Further, if a secondary commodities has an associated price,
the valuation is done in terms of that price's commodity.
This outputs the pricing relationship of commodities in your data file,
as of DATE (optional), using the DOT language. If you have graphviz
installed, it can be viewed quite simply using:
ledger pricemap | dotty -
Each relationship in the graph shows the conversion factor to exchange
one commodity for another, and the date at which this factor was
determined.
The --group-by option allows for most reports to be split up into
sections based on the varying value of EXPR. For example, to see
register subtotals by payee, use:
ledger reg --group-by=payee -s
This works for separated balances too:
ledger bal --group-by=payee
Another interesting possibility is seeing a register of all the accounts
affected by a related account:
ledger reg -r --group-by=payee
The option --group-title-format can be used to add a separator bar to
the group titles. The option --no-titles can be used to drop titles
altogether.
