+\f0\fs28 \cf0 @c -A, --average report average posting amount\
+\
+To see the running total changed to a running average, use\
+@option\{-A\}. The final posting's total will be the overall\
+average of all displayed postings. The works in conjunction with\
+period reporting, so that you can see your monthly average expenses\
+with:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger -AM reg ^expenses:food\
+ledger -AMn reg ^expenses\
+@end example\
+\
+This works in the balance report too:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger -AM bal ^expenses:food\
+ledger -AMs bal ^expenses\
+@end example\
+\
+@c -D, --deviation report deviation from the average\
+\
+The @option\{-D\} option changes the running average into a deviation\
+from the running average. This only makes sense in the register\
+report, however.\
+\
+@example\
+ledger -DM reg ^expenses:food\
+@end example\
+\
+@c -%, --percentage report balance totals as a percentile of the parent\
+\
+In the balance report only, @option\{-%\} changes the reported totals\
+into a percentage of the parent account. This kind of report is\
+confusing if negative amounts are involved, and doesn't work at all if\
+multiple commodities occur in an account's history. It has a somewhat\
+limited usefulness, therefore, but in certain cases it can be handy,\
+such as reviewing overall expenses:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger -%s -S T bal ^expenses\
+@end example} \ No newline at end of file
