There are now six man pages, one for each main executable and file
format, generated from markdown by the mighty pandoc. They are basically
the content of the user manual, split up and moved into the appropriate
package directory. I've also committed the generated man files.
The man pages' markdown source (hledger/hledger.1.md,
hledger-lib/hledger_journal.5.md etc.) are now the master documentation
files. The plan is to concatenate them (with a little munging) to form
the all-in-one user manual for the website, at release time. This also
separates the hledger.org user manual from the latest doc commits, which
should simplify website management.
"make quickheap-CMD" generates a heap profile for CMD, in
hledgerprof.ps, and tries to open it in a viewer (currently the
mac-friendly "open" executable, so you may need to adjust this in the
makefile).
As with quickprof, CMD must be one word and runs against one of the
sample journals.
A bunch of cleanups to make profiling possible again, and easier.
"make quickprof-CMD" generates a profile for CMD, which must be one
word and runs against one of the sample journals (the usual
quickprof-"SOME WORDS" quoting trick isn't working here for some
reason)
Also,
"make hledgerprof" builds the hledgerprof executable (in stack's bin dir) for profiling.
"make hledgercov" builds the hledgercov executable (in ./bin) for coverage reports
(renamed from hledgerhpc to remind me that HPC is nothing to do with heap coverage)
Here are hpack package.yaml files for the other hledger cabal files.
These remove a lot of human-error-prone duplication.
They are not used yet as hpack isn't quite mature enough -
when it supports flags and benchmarks we will probably switch.
hakyll-std's cabal file is now generated by hpack from an easier yaml
config file, which looks like a valuable timesaver. "make gencabalfiles"
will regenerate this cabal file (and soon the others) when needed.
The makefile now uses stack primarily.
The following updated rules are available:

Refactored and enhanced the --width option used by register (and other
commands in future). register now uses the full terminal width by
default except on windows. Specifically, the output width is set from:
1. a --width option
2. or a COLUMNS environment variable (NB: not the same as a bash shell var)
3. or on POSIX (non-windows) systems, the current terminal width
4. or the default, 80 characters.
Also, register now accepts a description column width as part of
--width's argument, comma-separated (--width W,D). This adjusts the
relative widths of register's description and account columns, which are
normally about half of (W-40):
<--------------------------------- width (W) ---------------------------------->
date (10) description (D) account (W-41-D) amount (12) balance (12)
DDDDDDDDDD dddddddddddddddddddd aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA
Examples:
$ hledger reg # use terminal width on posix
$ hledger reg -w 100 # width 100, equal description/account widths
$ hledger reg -w 100,40 # width 100, wider description
$ hledger reg -w $COLUMNS,100 # terminal width and set description width
Fed up with GHC/cabal constantly assaulting me like Cato in a Pink
Panther movie, here are some shell tests to give me some
warning/reassurance about the dev setup on various machines.
Thou Shalt Not Reimplement Autoconf, but perhaps a little cross-platform
test suite focussed on my needs is a reasonable idea.
I've moved the installation and developer guides, FAQ and how-tos from
hledger.org (yst & git) to hledger.org/wiki (dokuwiki) and tried to
integrate their navigation bars two as best I can. Using just one
or the other would be nice, but I don't think I can quite do that;
it seems the manual at least should be revision controlled along with the code.
