-Format strings may be used to change the output format of reports.
-They are specified by passing a formatting string to the
-@option{--format} (@option{-F}) option.  Within that string,
-constructs are allowed which make it possible to display the various
-parts of an account or posting in custom ways.
-
-Within a format strings, a substitution is specified using a percent
-character (@samp{%}).  The basic format of all substitutions is:
-
-@example
-%[-][MIN WIDTH][.MAX WIDTH]EXPR
-@end example
-
-If the optional minus sign (@samp{-}) follows the percent character,
-whatever is substituted will be left justified.  The default is right
-justified.  If a minimum width is given next, the substituted text
-will be at least that wide, perhaps wider.  If a period and a maximum
-width is given, the substituted text will never be wider than this,
-and will be truncated to fit.  Here are some examples:
-
-@example
-%-P     a transaction's payee, left justified
-%20P    The same, right justified, at least 20 chars wide
-%.20P   The same, no more than 20 chars wide
-%-.20P  Left justified, maximum twenty chars wide
-@end example
-
-The expression following the format constraints can be a single
-letter, or an expression enclosed in parentheses or brackets.  The
-allowable expressions are:
-
-@table @code
-@item %
-Inserts a percent sign.
-
-@item t
-Inserts the results of the value expression specified by @option{-t}.
-If @option{-t} was not specified, the current report style's value
-expression is used.
-
-@item T
-Inserts the results of the value expression specified by @option{-T}.
-If @option{-T} was not specified, the current report style's value
-expression is used.
-
-@item |
-Inserts a single space.  This is useful if a width is specified, for
-inserting a certain number of spaces.
-
-@item _
-Inserts a space for each level of an account's depth.  That is, if an
-account has two parents, this construct will insert two spaces.  If a
-minimum width is specified, that much space is inserted for each level
-of depth.  Thus @samp{%5_}, for an account with four parents, will
-insert twenty spaces.
-
-@item (EXPR)
-Inserts the amount resulting from the value expression given in
-parentheses.  To insert five times the total value of an account, for
-example, one could say @samp{%12(5*O)}.  Note: It's important to put
-the five first in that expression, so that the commodity doesn't get
-stripped from the total.
-
-@item [DATEFMT]
-Inserts the result of formatting a posting's date with a date
-format string, exactly like those supported by @code{strftime}.  For
-example: @samp{%[%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S]}.
-
-@item S
-Insert the pathname of the file from which the transaction's data was read.
-
-@item B
-Inserts the beginning character position of that transaction within the file.
-
-@item b
-Inserts the beginning line of that transaction within the file.
-
-@item E
-Inserts the ending character position of that transaction within the file.
-
-@item e
-Inserts the ending line of that transaction within the file.
-
-@item D
-By default, this is the same as @samp{%[%Y/%m%/d]}.  The date format
-used can be changed at any time with the @option{-y} flag, however.
-Using @samp{%D} gives the user more control over the way dates are
-output.
-
-@item d
-This is the same as the @samp{%D} option, unless the transaction has an
-effective date, in which case it prints
-@samp{[ACTUAL_DATE=EFFECTIVE_DATE]}.
-
-@item X
-If a posting has been cleared, this inserts @samp{*} followed by a
-space; otherwise nothing is inserted.
-
-@item Y
-This is the same as @samp{%X}, except that it only displays a state
-character if all of the member postings have the same state.
-
-@item C
-Inserts the checking number for a transaction, in parentheses, followed by
-a space; if none was specified, nothing is inserted.
-
-@item P
-Inserts the payee related to a posting.
-
-@item a
-Inserts the optimal short name for an account.  This is normally used
-in balance reports.  It prints a parent account's name if that name
-has not been printed yet, otherwise it just prints the account's name.
-
-@item A
-Inserts the full name of an account.
-
-@item W
-This is the same as @samp{%A}, except that it first displays the
-posting's state @emph{if the transaction's posting states are not
-all the same}, followed by the full account name.  This is offered as
-a printing optimization, so that combined with @samp{%Y}, only the
-minimum amount of state detail is printed.
-
-@item o
-Inserts the ``optimized'' form of a posting's amount.  This is
-used by the print report.  In some cases, this inserts nothing; in
-others, it inserts the posting amount and its cost.  It's use is
-not recommend unless you are modifying the print report.
-
-@item n
-Inserts the note associated with a posting, preceded by two spaces
-and a semi-colon, if it exists.  Thus, no none becomes an empty
-string, while the note @samp{foo} is substituted as @samp{ ; foo}.
-
-@item N
-Inserts the note associated with a posting, if one exists.
-
-@item /
-The @samp{%/} construct is special.  It separates a format string
-between what is printed for the first posting of a transaction, and
-what is printed for all subsequent postings.  If not used, the
-same format string is used for all postings.
