  26 ;; Org-Babel support for evaluating ledger entries.
  27 ;;
  28 ;; This differs from most standard languages in that
  29 ;;
  30 ;; 1) there is no such thing as a "session" in ledger
  31 ;;
  32 ;; 2) we are generally only going to return output from the leger program
  33 ;;
  34 ;; 3) we are adding the "cmdline" header argument
  35 ;;
  36 ;; 4) there are no variables
  37

  39 (require 'ob)

  41 (defvar org-babel-default-header-args:ledger
  42   '((:results . "output") (:cmdline . "bal"))
  43   "Default arguments to use when evaluating a ledger source block.")
