@ -47,8 +47,9 @@ Amounts have several precisions we can talk about:
When display precision is greater than the internal precision, additional decimal zeros are displayed ("padding").
We use the term "display rounding" for applying a target display precision to an existing amount,
This can be done more or less forcefully, according to a "display rounding strategy", represented by the "Rounding" type.
This is stored within each AmountStyle for convenience, though semantically speaking it is not part of the amount.

The rounding strategies are:
- none - leave the amount's display precision unchanged
@ -56,17 +57,17 @@ The rounding strategies are:
- hard - use the exact target precision, possibly rounding and hiding significant digits
- all - do hard rounding of both the main amount and its cost amount (costs are normally not display-rounded).
Here is when display rounding happens:
Here is when amount styling and display rounding happens:
1. After reading a journal,
all amounts have the standard commodity styles applied, but no display rounding is done.
the standard commodity styles are applied to all amounts, except for precision (no display rounding at this stage).
(still needed ? seems so)
2. After reading a journal, when checking each transaction for balancedness,
the transaction amounts are hard-rounded, temporarily, before calculating their sum.
(We'd like to update this to use local transaction precisions only.)

Most reports do hard rounding; @print@ (and maybe other print-like commands ?)
can do any of the rounding strategies.

`hard` and `all` can cause `print` to show invalid unbalanced journal entries;
they may be useful eg for journal cleanup, with manual fixups where needed.
