This gave me what I wanted:

--format \|%\(\!options.flat\ \?\ depth_spacer\ :\ 
\"\"\)\%\(partial_account\(options.flat\)\)\|%\(get_at\(display_total,\ 0\)\ 
\?\ scrub\(abs\(get_at\(display_total,\ 0\)\)\)\ :\ 
0.0\)\|%\(get_at\(display_total,\ 1\)\ \?\ scrub\(abs\(get_at\(display_total,\ 
1\)\)\)\ :\ 0.0\)\|%\(scrub\(get_at\(display_total,\ 0\)\ \?\ 
\(get_at\(display_total,\ 1\)\ \?\ get_at\(display_total,\ 0\)\ \+\ 
get_at\(display_total,\ 1\)\ :\ get_at\(display_total,\ 0\)\)\ :\ 
get_at\(display_total,\ 1\)\)\)\|\\n
