Bracketed posting dates were fragile; they worked only if you wrote full
10-character dates. Also some semantics were a bit unclear. Now they
should be robust, and have been documented more clearly. This is a
legacy undocumented Ledger syntax, but it improves compatibility and
might be preferable to the more verbose "date:" tags if you write
posting dates often (as I do).
Internally, bracketed posting dates are no longer considered to be tags.
Journal comment, tag, and posting date parsers have been reworked, all
with doctests. Also the journal parser types generally have been
tightened up and clarified, making it much easier to know how to combine
and run them. There's now
-- | A parser of strings with generic user state, monad and return type.
type StringParser u m a = ParsecT String u m a
-- | A string parser with journal-parsing state.
type JournalParser m a = StringParser JournalContext m a
-- | A journal parser that runs in IO and can throw an error mid-parse.
type ErroringJournalParser a = JournalParser (ExceptT String IO) a
and corresponding convenience functions (and short aliases) for running them.

- pause for 0.1s before opening the browser, to ensure the app is ready
- don't open a browser if the app fails to start
- terminate the server thread more carefully on exit, may resolve some
lingering background thread issues eg on windows
use simpler markup
use pre blocks more consistently
pandoc table experiments
no more right-floating examples, use columns if needed
doc edits
style tweaks
Use slightly clearer m4 macros instead of special divs to mark content
as web only/man only. The temporary doc/*.md files are no longer needed,
slightly more redundant work is done.
