For example: Where do you spend your money? Do\ +you have enough to cover upcoming expenses? Are you creating or losing\ +net worth? Are your investment performing well? All of these questions\ +can be answered easily with Ledger---if you know how to ask them.\ +\ +Preparing complex reports is not a simple task, but neither is it a\ +difficult one. All that's required is a proper understanding of how\ +Ledger views your data, and how it prepares it for reporting.\ +\ +After Ledger reads a journal file, it creates an in-memory\ +representation reflecting the order and composition of those transactions.} \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
