I think that could be very useful. I think there needs to be some discussion about the syntax before you start implementing.
Would it look like this? ```beancount 2018-03-30 * "Hooli Shop" "Buy hoodie" Expenses:Fashion 10.00 USD Assets:Cash marker Assets:US:* 2018-03-31 * "Walgreens" "Groceries" Expenses:Groceries 45.00 USD Assets:US:BoA:Checking ``` > Am 28.03.2018 um 04:22 schrieb Martin Blais <bl...@furius.ca>: > > I could promote the custom entry as a native one. > Let's call it "marker". > Would that be useful? > > > On Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 2:04 AM, <dominik.aumayr.notificati...@gmail.com> > wrote: > Fava has such a feature (and code), see the "insert-entry"-option here: > https://fava.pythonanywhere.com/example-with-budgets/help/options/ > > Basically it works like this: You can add custom "insert-entry" entries with > a RegEx, and when adding a transaction, the position where it should go in > the file is determined by those custom entries. > > Am Montag, 26.
