README
This document provides background on the enclosed example
Demo
----
To run the demo do
./demo.sh
Which should generate the following files in tests/
chart-of-accounts.txt
general-ledger.txt
general-ledger.csv
general-ledger.ods
And a final, "portable" zip file with the spreadsheet in
general-ledger.zip
It *should* be possible to copy general-ledger.zip to another system,
unzip it, open general-ledger.ods in Libre Office and have the relative
links resolve correctly.
NOTE: Export to PDF should also work.
Known Dependencies
------------------
ledger (3.0)
python (2.x)
zip
libdate-manip-perl
libmath-gmp-perl
Temporary Hacks
---------------
Due to an urgent project deadline the ooolib2 directory
represents some fixes to:
http://ooolib.sourceforge.net/
The proper version of this library can be installed on Debian systems with
# apt-get install python-ooolib
Compare the deltas to the current version with
# diff -u /usr/share/pyshared/ooolib/__init__.py ooolib2/__init__.py
Note also that the csv2ods.py treats columns 4 and 5 (numbering from 1) of the csv
magically. If column 4 contains a non-empty string which is not 'Receipt'
then it is interpreted as a relative path of an artifact to link to.
Similarly for column 5 and 'Invoice'.
Sample PDF files
----------------
The sample PDF files were created as follows:
paps --font="Courier 12" --paper letter --top-margin=18 tests/Projects/Foo/Expenses/hosting/AprilHostingReceipt.txt | ps2pdf - tests/Projects/Foo/Expenses/hosting/AprilHostingReceipt.pdf
paps --font="Courier 12" --paper letter --top-margin=18 tests/Financial/Invoices/Invoice20110510.txt | ps2pdf - tests/Financial/Invoices/Invoice20110510.pdf
