NAME

bean-format - pretty print and align a Beancount ledger

DESCRIPTION

usage: bean-format [-h] [--version] [-o OUTPUT] [-w PREFIX_WIDTH]
[-W NUM_WIDTH] [-c CURRENCY_COLUMN] [filename]

Align a beancount/ledger input file's numbers. This reformats at beancount or ledger input file so that the amounts in the postings are all aligned to the same column. The currency should match. Note: this does not parse the Beancount ledger. It simply uses regular expressions and text manipulations to do its work.

positional arguments:

filename
Beancount filename

optional arguments:

-h, --help
show this help message and exit
--version, -V
show program's version number and exit
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Output file (stdout if not specified)
-w PREFIX_WIDTH, --prefix-width PREFIX_WIDTH
Use this prefix width instead of determining an optimal value automatically
-W NUM_WIDTH, --num-width NUM_WIDTH
Use this width to render numbers instead of determining an optimal value
-c CURRENCY_COLUMN, --currency-column CURRENCY_COLUMN
Align currencies in this column.
