-\f0\fs28 \cf0 Ledger makes no assumptions about the commodities you use; it only\
-requires that you specify a commodity. The commodity may be any\
-non-numeric string that does not contain a period, comma, forward\
-slash or at-sign. It may appear before or after the amount, although\
-it is assumed that symbols appearing before the amount refer to\
-currencies, while non-joined symbols appearing after the amount refer\
-to commodities. Here are some valid currency and commodity\
-specifiers:\
-\
-@example\
-$20.00 ; currency: twenty US dollars\
-40 AAPL ; commodity: 40 shares of Apple stock\
-60 DM ; currency: 60 Deutsch Mark\
-\'a350 ; currency: 50 British pounds\
-50 EUR ; currency: 50 Euros (or use appropriate symbol)\
-@end example\
-\
-Ledger will examine the first use of any commodity to determine how\
-that commodity should be printed on reports. It pays attention to\
-whether the name of commodity was separated from the amount, whether\
-it came before or after, the precision used in specifying the amount,\
-whether thousand marks were used, etc. This is done so that printing\
-the commodity looks the same as the way you use it.\
-\
-An account may contain multiple commodities, in which case it will\
-have separate totals for each. For example, if your brokerage account\
-contains both cash, gold, and several stock quantities, the balance\
-might look like:\
-\
-@smallexample\
- $200.00\
-100.00 AU\
- AAPL 40\
- BORL 100\
- FEQTX 50 Assets:Brokerage\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-This balance report shows how much of each commodity is in your\
-brokerage account.\
-\
-Sometimes, you will want to know the current street value of your\
-balance, and not the commodity totals. For this to happen, you must\
-specify what the current price is for each commodity. The price can\
-be any commodity, in which case the balance will be computed in terms\
-of that commodity. The usual way to specify prices is with a price\
-history file, which might look like this:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-P 2004/06/21 02:18:01 FEQTX $22.49\
-P 2004/06/21 02:18:01 BORL $6.20\
-P 2004/06/21 02:18:02 AAPL $32.91\
-P 2004/06/21 02:18:02 AU $400.00\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-Specify the price history to use with the @option\{--price-db\} option,\
-with the @option\{-V\} option to report in terms of current market\
-value:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger --price-db prices.db -V balance brokerage\
-@end example\
-\
-The balance for your brokerage account will be reported in US dollars,\
-since the prices database uses that currency.\
-\
-@smallexample\
-$40880.00 Assets:Brokerage\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-You can convert from any commodity to any other commodity. Let's say\
-you had $5000 in your checking account, and for whatever reason you\
-wanted to know many ounces of gold that would buy, in terms of the\
-current price of gold:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger -T "@\{1 AU@\}*(O/P@\{1 AU@\})" balance checking\
-@end example\
-\
-Although the total expression appears complex, it is simply saying\
-that the reported total should be in multiples of AU units, where the\
-quantity is the account total divided by the price of one AU. Without\
-the initial multiplication, the reported total would still use the\
-dollars commodity, since multiplying or dividing amounts always keeps\
-the left value's commodity. The result of this command might be:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-14.01 AU Assets:Checking\
