+\f0\fs28 \cf0 This chapter describes ledger's features and serves as a quick\
+reference. You may wish to survey this to get an overview before diving\
+in to the @ref\{Ledger Tutorial\} and more detailed examples that follow.\
+\
+Ledger has a very simple command-line interface, named---enticing\
+enough---@command\{ledger\}.  It supports a few reporting commands, and\
+a large number of options for refining the output from those commands.\
+The basic syntax of any ledger command is:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger [OPTIONS...] COMMAND [ARGS...]\
+@end example\
+\
+Command options must always precede the command word.  After the\
+command word there may appear any number of arguments.  For most\
+commands, these arguments are regular expressions that cause the\
+output to relate only to postings matching those regular\
+expressions.  For the @command\{transaction\} command, the arguments have a\
+special meaning, described below.\
+\
+The regular expressions arguments always match the account name that a\
+posting refers to.  To match on the payee of the transaction instead,\
+precede the regular expression with @samp\{--\}.  For example, the\
+following balance command reports account totals for rent, food and\
+movies, but only those whose payee matches Freddie:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger bal rent food movies -- freddie\
+@end example\
+\
+There are many, many command options available with the\
+@command\{ledger\} command, and it takes a while to master them.\
+However, none of them are required to use the basic reporting\
+commands.}
