+			<string>@c  -n, --collapse         register: collapse transactions with multiple postings
+
+When multiple postings relate to a single transaction, they are reported
+as part of that transaction.  For example, in the case of @file{sample.dat}:
+
+@example
+ledger reg -- book
+@end example
+
+Reports:
+
+@smallexample
+2004/05/29 Book Store           Expenses:Books               $20.00       $20.00
+                                Liabilities:MasterCard      $-20.00            0
+                                (Liabilities:Taxes)          $-2.00       $-2.00
+@end smallexample
+
+All three postings are part of one transaction, and as such the transaction
+details are printed only once.  To report every transaction on a single
+line, use @option{-n} to collapse transactions with multiple postings:
+
+@example
+ledger -n reg -- book
+@end example
+
+Reports:
+
+@smallexample
+2004/05/29 Book Store           &lt;Total&gt;                      $-2.00       $-2.00
+@end smallexample
+
+In the balance report, @option{-n} causes the grand total not to be
+displayed at the bottom of the report.
+
+@c  -s, --subtotal         balance: show sub-accounts; other: show subtotals
+
+If an account occurs more than once in a report, it is possible to
+combine them all and report the total per-account, using @option{-s}.
+For example, this command:
+
+@example
+ledger -B reg ^assets
+@end example
+
+Reports:
+
+@smallexample
+2004/05/01 Checking balance     Assets:Bank:Checking      $1,000.00    $1,000.00
+2004/05/01 Investment balance   Assets:Brokerage          $1,500.00    $2,500.00
+2004/05/14 Pay day              Assets:Bank:Checking        $500.00    $3,000.00
+2004/05/27 Credit card company  Assets:Bank:Checking        $-20.00    $2,980.00
+@end smallexample
+
+But if the @option{-s} option is added, the result becomes:
+
+@smallexample
+2004/05/01 - 2004/05/29         Assets:Bank:Checking      $1,480.00    $1,480.00
+                                Assets:Brokerage          $1,500.00    $2,980.00
+@end smallexample
+
+When account subtotaling is used, only one transaction is printed, and the
+date and name reflect the range of the combined postings.
+
+@c  -P, --by-payee         show summarized totals by payee
+
+With @option{-P}, postings relating to the same payee are
+combined.  In this case, the date of the combined transaction is that of the
+latest posting.
+
+@c  -x, --comm-as-payee    set commodity name as the payee, for reporting
+
+@option{-x} changes the payee name for each posting to be the same
+as the commodity it uses.  This can be especially useful combined with
+other options, like @option{-P}.  For example:
+
+@example
+ledger -Px reg ^assets
+@end example
+
+Reports:
+
+@smallexample
+2004/05/29 $                    Assets:Bank:Checking      $1,480.00    $1,480.00
+2004/05/01 AAPL                 Assets:Brokerage            50 AAPL    $1,480.00
+                                                                         50 AAPL
+@end smallexample
+
+This reports shows the subtotal for each commodity held, and where it
+is located.  To see the basis cost, or initial investment, add
+@option{-B}.  Applied to the example above:
+
+@smallexample
+2004/05/29 $                    Assets:Bank:Checking      $1,480.00    $1,480.00
+2004/05/01 AAPL                 Assets:Brokerage          $1,500.00    $2,980.00
+@end smallexample
+
+@c  -E, --empty            balance: show accounts with zero balance
+
+The only other options which affect summarized totals is @option{-E},
+which works only in the balance report.  In this case, it shows
+matching accounts with a zero a balance, which are ordinarily
+excluded.  This can be useful to see all the accounts involved in a
+report, even if some have no total.</string>
