;;; Commentary:

;; Babel support for evaluating hledger entries.
;;
;; Based on ob-ledger.el.
;; If the source block is empty, hledger will use a default journal file,
;; probably ~/.hledger.journal (it may not notice your $LEDGER_FILE env var).
;; So make ~/.hledger.journal a symbolic link to the real file if necessary.

;;; Code:
(require 'ob)

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

(defun org-babel-execute:hledger (body params)
  "Execute a block of hledger entries with org-babel.
This function is called by `org-babel-execute-src-block'."
