Hey all, I have confused myself a great deal with -B/-V/-X, as a user and implementor. I have been studying http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger.1.html and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ledger-cli/9oa47zA-qqM/discussion, thinking, and getting a bit clearer. What do you think of the following slight semantic and UI cleanup ?
1. http://hledger.org/MANUAL.html#prices 2. --cost/-B shows amounts as their transaction price, where specified. --market-value/-V [COMMODITY] [--now DATE] shows amounts as their value in COMMODITY as of today (or another date specified with --now) using P historical prices, if possible. If COMMODITY is not specified, the first suitable one found in the journal's P directives is used. --convert/--exchange/-X [--now DATE] after generating a report, does a final conversion of all amounts to their value in COMMODITY as of today (or another date specified with --now), where possible. (This is orthogonal to -B and -V.) Best, -Simon
