  27 ;; Org-Babel support for evaluating ledger entries.
  28 ;;
  29 ;; This differs from most standard languages in that
  30 ;;
  31 ;; 1) there is no such thing as a "session" in ledger
  32 ;;
  33 ;; 2) we are generally only going to return output from the leger program
  34 ;;
  35 ;; 3) we are adding the "cmdline" header argument
  36 ;;
  37 ;; 4) there are no variables
  38

  40 (require 'ob)
  41 (require 'org)

  43 (defvar org-babel-default-header-args:ledger
  44   '((:results . "output") (:cmdline . "bal"))
