-\f0\fs28 \cf0 As a Bah\'e1'\'ed, I need to compute Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h whenever I acquire assets.\
-It is similar to tithing for Jews and Christians, or to Zak\'e1t for\
-Muslims. The epost details of computing Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h are somewhat\
-complex, but if you have further interest, please consult the Web.\
-\
-Ledger makes this otherwise difficult law very easy. Just set up an\
-automated posting at the top of your ledger file:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-; This automated transaction will compute Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h based on this\
-; journal's postings. Any that match will affect the\
-; Liabilities:Huququ'llah account by 19% of the value of that\
-; posting.\
-\
-= /^(?:Income:|Expenses:(?:Business|Rent$|Furnishings|Taxes|Insurance))/\
- (Liabilities:Huququ'llah) 0.19\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-This automated posting works by looking at each posting in the\
-ledger file. If any match the given value expression, 19% of the\
-posting's value is applied to the @samp\{Liabilities:Huququ'llah\}\
-account. So, if $1000 is earned from @samp\{Income:Salary\}, $190 is\
-added to @samp\{Liabilities:Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h\}; if $1000 is spent on Rent,\
-$190 is subtracted. The ultimate balance of Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h reflects how\
-much is owed in order to fulfill one's obligation to Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h.\
-When ready to pay, just write a check to cover the amount shown in\
-@samp\{Liabilities:Huququ'llah\}. That transaction would look like:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-2003/01/01 (101) Baha'i Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h Trust\
- Liabilities:Huququ'llah $1,000.00\
- Assets:Checking\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-That's it. To see how much Huq\'faq is currently owed based on your\
-ledger transactions, use:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger balance Liabilities:Huquq\
-@end example\
-\
-This works fine, but omits one aspect of the law: that Huquq is only\
-due once the liability exceeds the value of 19 mithq\'e1ls of gold (which\
-is roughly 2.22 ounces). So what we want is for the liability to\
-appear in the balance report only when it exceeds the present day\
-value of 2.22 ounces of gold. This can be accomplished using the\
-command:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-ledger -Q -t "/Liab.*Huquq/?(a/P@\{2.22 AU@\}<=@\{-1.0@\}&a):a" -s bal liab\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-With this command, the current price for gold is downloaded, and the\
-Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h is reported only if its value exceeds that of 2.22 ounces\
-of gold. If you wish the liability to be reflected in the parent\
-subtotal either way, use this instead:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-ledger -Q -T "/Liab.*Huquq/?(O/P@\{2.22 AU@\}<=@\{-1.0@\}&O):O" -s bal liab\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-In some cases, you may wish to refer to the account of whichever\
-posting matched your automated transaction's value expression. To do\
-this, use the special account name @samp\{$account\}:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-= /^Some:Long:Account:Name/\
- [$account] -0.10\
- [Savings] 0.10\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-This example causes 10% of the matching account's total to be deferred\
-to the @samp\{Savings\} account---as a balanced virtual posting,\
-which may be excluded from reports by using @option\{--real\}.} \ No newline at end of file
