NAME
|
|
Timedot - hledger's human-friendly time logging format
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Timedot is a plain text format for logging dated, categorised quanti-
|
|
ties (of time, usually), supported by hledger. It is convenient for
|
|
approximate and retroactive time logging, eg when the real-time
|
|
clock-in/out required with a timeclock file is too precise or too
|
|
interruptive. It can be formatted like a bar chart, making clear at a
|
|
glance where time was spent.
|
|
|
|
Though called "timedot", this format is read by hledger as commodity-
|
|
less quantities, so it could be used to represent dated quantities
|
|
other than time. In the docs below we'll assume it's time.
|
|
|
|
FILE FORMAT
|
|
A timedot file contains a series of day entries. A day entry begins
|
|
with a date, and is followed by category/quantity pairs, one per line.
|
|
Dates are hledger-style simple dates (see hledger_journal(5)). Cate-
|
|
gories are hledger-style account names, optionally indented. As in a
|
|
hledger journal, there must be at least two spaces between the category
|
|
(account name) and the quantity.
|
|
|
|
Quantities can be written as:
|
|
|
|
o a sequence of dots (.) representing quarter hours. Spaces may
|
|
optionally be used for grouping and readability. Eg: .... ..
|
|
|
|
o an integral or decimal number, representing hours. Eg: 1.5
|
|
|
|
o an integral or decimal number immediately followed by a unit symbol
|
|
s, m, h, d, w, mo, or y, representing seconds, minutes, hours, days
|
|
weeks, months or years respectively. Eg: 90m. The following equiva-
|
|
lencies are assumed, currently: 1m = 60s, 1h = 60m, 1d = 24h, 1w =
|
|
7d, 1mo = 30d, 1y=365d.
|
|
|
|
Blank lines and lines beginning with #, ; or * are ignored. An exam-
|
|
ple:
|
|
|
|
# on this day, 6h was spent on client work, 1.5h on haskell FOSS work, etc.

I prefer to use period for separating account components. We can make
|
|
this work with an account alias:
|
|
|
|
2016/2/4
|
|
fos.hledger.timedot 4
|
|
fos.ledger ..
|
|
|
