That last link is a tutorial for hledger, which actually isn't the same as normal ledger -- it's sort of "inspired by" ledger, but has different commands, as you discovered. Documentation for ledger is a little spotty. I've found the official docs to be better than anything else, though they still leave a little to be desired: http://www.ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Ledger-Tutorial
