Hi Viktor, I have named blocks which I subsequently edit using =C-c '= which brings up the block in Ledger mode. By having everything within org, I can use headline structure and tags to organise all the different blocks and find them easily and quickly. I have a structure such as this: #+begin_src org * finances ** expenses *** credit cards *** utilities ** income *** pay *** consultancy ** funds *** savings account *** chequing account *** shares ** summaries *** current balance *** income tax **** 2011-2012 #+end_src The only issue, and for me it's a very minor one, is that a double entry ledger system naturally means that many (most?) entries could go into two different headlines above. E.g. expenses are likely to take money from one bank account or another; pay will go into a bank account; etc. For me, the bank entries are mostly about recording interest income and the movement of funds from one account to another. > Also, do you use capture templates for your expenses and how do you > reconcile your accounts without having a ledger file as your primary > data file? I don't use capture templates; I manually enter the information. I did use to use capture but found it too clumsy for my setup (or I was never able to suss out how to define the right capture templates). I don't reconcile using ledger. I do reconciliation manually by visual inspection. Reconciliation is not a big issue for me. My main use of ledger is simply to keep track of where my money is (or isn't, as the case may be ;-). cheers, eric -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org release_7.9.3f-1199-g3a0e55
