+			<string>Value expressions are an expression language used by Ledger to
+calculate values used by the program for many different purposes:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+The values displayed in reports
+@item
+For predicates (where truth is anything non-zero), to determine which
+postings are calculated (@option{-l}) or displayed (@option{-d}).
+@item
+For sorting criteria, to yield the sort key.
+@item
+In the matching criteria used by automated postings.
+@end enumerate
+
+Value expressions support most simple math and logic operators, in
+addition to a set of one letter functions and variables.  A function's
+argument is whatever follows it.  The following is a display predicate
+that I use with the @command{balance} command:
+
+@example
+ledger -d /^Liabilities/?T&lt;0:UT&gt;100 balance
+@end example
+
+The effect is that account totals are displayed only if: 1) A
+Liabilities account has a total less than zero; or 2) the absolute
+value of the account's total exceeds 100 units of whatever commodity
+contains.  If it contains multiple commodities, only one of them must
+exceed 100 units.
+
+Display predicates are also very handy with register reports, to
+constrain which transactions are printed.  For example, the following
+command shows only transactions from the beginning of the current month,
+while still calculating the running balance based on all transactions:
+
+@example
+ledger -d "d&gt;[this month]" register checking
+@end example
+
+This advantage to this command's complexity is that it prints the
+running total in terms of all transactions in the register.  The following,
+simpler command is similar, but totals only the displayed
+postings:
+
+@example
+ledger -b "this month" register checking
+@end example</string>
