@c  -y, --date-format STR  use STR as the date format (default: %Y/%m/%d)

When dates are printed in any report, the default format is
@samp{%Y/%m/%d}, which yields dates of the form @samp{YYYY/mm/dd}.
This can be changed with @option{-y}, whose argument is a
@code{strftime} string---see your system's C library documentation for
the allowable codes.  Mostly you will want to use @samp{%Y}, @samp{%m}
and @samp{%d}, in whatever combination is convenient for your locale.

@c  -F, --format STR       use STR as the format; for each report type, use:
@c      --balance-format      --register-format       --print-format
@c      --plot-amount-format  --plot-total-format     --equity-format
@c      --prices-format       --wide-register-format

To change the format of the entire reported line, use @option{-F}.  It
supports quite a large number of options, which are all documented in
@ref{Format strings}.  In addition, each specific kind of report
(except for @command{xml}) can be changed using one of the following
options:

@table @option
@item --balance-format
@command{balance} report.  Default:
@smallexample
%20T  %2_%-a\n
@end smallexample

@item --register-format
@command{register} report.  Default:
@smallexample
%D %-.20P %-.22A %12.66t %12.80T\n%/%32|%-.22A %12.66t %12.80T\n
@end smallexample

@item --print-format

@end smallexample

@item --plot-amount-format

@smallexample

@command{register} report when @option{-J} (plot total) is used.  Default:
@smallexample

@end smallexample
