OTHER OPTIONS¶
beancount_indent <int>

file (default: 2).
operating_currencies
A list of frequently used currencies. This is used by
fava, the web UI for beancount.
automatic_declarations true|false

The date used to create commodities (default:
1970-01-01).
beancount_header <file>
Specifies a file which serves as a beancount
"header", i.e. it's put at the beginning of the converted beancount
file. You can use such a header to specify options for beancount, such as
option "title", define plugin directives or beancount
query information.
ignore_marker <string>
keep_marker <string>
Specifies a marker that tells
ledger2beancount(1)
to take a line from the input that is commented out, uncomment it and display
it in the output.
convert_virtual true|false
Specifies whether virtual postings should be converted.
If set to true, virtual postings in brackets will be made into real
accounts. (Virtual postings in parentheses are always ignored, regardless of
this option.)
account_map

account_regex
Specifies a hash of regular expressions to replace
account names.

narration_tag
Specify a metadata tag (after the mapping done by
metadata_map) used to set the narration.
payee_split
Specifies a list of regular expressions to split
ledger's payee field into payee and narration. You have to use the

payee_match
Specifies a list of regular expressions and corresponding
payees. The whole ledger payee becomes the narration and the matched
payee from the regular expression becomes the payee.
postdate_tag <string>
Specifies the metadata tag to be used to store posting
dates. (Use the empty string if you don't want the metadata to be added to

auxdate_tag <string>

added to beancount.)
link_match
