-\f0\fs28 \cf0 The @command\{xact\} commands simplifies the creation of new transactions.\
-It works on the principle that 80% of all postings are variants of\
-earlier postings. Here's how it works:\
-\
-Say you currently have this posting in your ledger file:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-2004/03/15 * Viva Italiano\
- Expenses:Food $12.45\
- Expenses:Tips $2.55\
- Liabilities:MasterCard $-15.00\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-Now it's @samp\{2004/4/9\}, and you've just eating at @samp\{Viva\
-Italiano\} again. The epost amounts are different, but the overall\
-form is the same. With the @command\{xact\} command you can type:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger xact 2004/4/9 viva food 11 tips 2.50\
-@end example\
-\
-This produces the following output:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-2004/04/09 Viva Italiano\
- Expenses:Food $11.00\
- Expenses:Tips $2.50\
- Liabilities:MasterCard $-13.50\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-It works by finding a past posting matching the regular expression\
-@samp\{viva\}, and assuming that any accounts or amounts specified will\
-be similar to that earlier posting. If Ledger does not succeed in\
-generating a new transaction, an error is printed and the exit code is set\
-to @samp\{1\}.\
-\
-There is a shell script in the distribution's @file\{scripts\} directory\
-called @file\{xact\}, which simplifies the task of adding a new transaction\
-to your ledger. It launches @command\{vi\} to confirm that the transaction\
-looks appropriate.\
-\
-Here are a few more examples of the @command\{xact\} command, assuming\
-the above journal transaction:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger xact 4/9 viva 11.50\
-ledger xact 4/9 viva 11.50 checking # (from `checking')\
-ledger xact 4/9 viva food 11.50 tips 8\
-ledger xact 4/9 viva food 11.50 tips 8 cash\
-ledger xact 4/9 viva food $11.50 tips $8 cash\
-ledger xact 4/9 viva dining "DM 11.50"\
