|
Timedot \- hledger's human\-friendly time logging format
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
Timedot is a plain text format for logging dated, categorised quantities
|
|
(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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Though called \[lq]timedot\[rq], this format is read by hledger as
|
|
commodityless quantities, so it could be used to represent dated
|
|
quantities other than time.
|
|
In the docs below we'll assume it's time.
|
|
.SH FILE FORMAT
|
|
.PP
|
|
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)).
|
|
Categories 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Quantities can be written as:
|
|
.IP \[bu] 2
|
|
a sequence of dots (.) representing quarter hours.
|
|
Spaces may optionally be used for grouping and readability.
|
|
Eg: \&....
|
|
\&..
|
|
.IP \[bu] 2
|
|
an integral or decimal number, representing hours.
|
|
Eg: 1.5
|
|
.IP \[bu] 2
|
|
an integral or decimal number immediately followed by a unit symbol
|
|
\f[C]s\f[], \f[C]m\f[], \f[C]h\f[], \f[C]d\f[], \f[C]w\f[], \f[C]mo\f[],
|
|
or \f[C]y\f[], representing seconds, minutes, hours, days weeks, months
|
|
or years respectively.
|
|
Eg: 90m.
|
|
The following equivalencies are assumed, currently: 1m = 60s, 1h = 60m,
|
|
1d = 24h, 1w = 7d, 1mo = 30d, 1y=365d.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Blank lines and lines beginning with #, ; or * are ignored.

|

I prefer to use period for separating account components.
