+\f0\fs28 \cf0 @c  -l, --limit EXPR       calculate only postings matching EXPR\
+\
+Value expressions can be quite complex, and are treated more fully in\
+@ref\{Value expressions\}.  They can be used for limiting a report with\
+@option\{--limit\} (@option\{-l\}).  The following command report income\
+since august, but expenses since october:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger -l '(/income/&d>=[aug])|(/expenses/&d>=[oct])' reg\
+@end example\
+\
+The basic form of this value expression is @samp\{(A&B)|(A&B)\}.  The\
+@samp\{A\} in each part matches against an account name with\
+@samp\{/name/\}, while each @samp\{B\} part compares the date of the\
+posting (@samp\{d\}) with a specified month.  The resulting report\
+will contain only postings which match the value expression.\
+\
+@c  -t, --amount EXPR      use EXPR to calculate the displayed amount\
+@c  -T, --total EXPR       use EXPR to calculate the displayed total\
+\
+Another use of value expressions is to calculate the amount reported\
+for each line of a register report, or for computing the subtotal of\
+each account shown in a balance report.  This example divides each\
+posting amount by two:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger -t 'a/2' reg ^exp\
+@end example\
+\
+The @option\{-t\} option doesn't affect the running total, only how the\
+posting amount is displayed.  To change the running total, use\
+@option\{-T\}.  In that case, you will likely want to use the total\
+(@samp\{O\}) instead of the amount (@samp\{a\}):\
+\
+@example\
+ledger -T 'O/2' reg ^exp\
+@end example}
