commands should support html completely

[simonmichael]

Not all commands support HTML output. It would be nice to fix that. But more importantly, the ones which do advertise it in their help, but in many modes they will print a message saying it's not supported. Eg a single-column balance report. We should fix this. It's a matter of building out the html rendering functions in hledger/Hledger/Cli/Commands/*.

@simonmichael, should bin/hledger-check.hs compile? As far as you know. Or any others in bin/ I am looking a minimal executable with arguments so I can add in multiBalanceReportHtml* functions and gradually build up. I have cobbled something together but I am stuck with the argument options.

[simonmichael]

They should, but they don't - thanks, I have opened #1072.

@simonmichael, would you expect to see a heading for this output?` e.g. hledger r -f ./tests/incomestatement/sample.journal

For example:

Date       Memo                            Account                                    Debit         Credit

                                           income:salary                             $-1             0

                                           income:gifts                              $-1             0
2008/06/02 save                            assets:bank:saving                         $1            $1
                                           assets:bank:checking                      $-1             0
2008/06/03 eat & shop                      expenses:food                              $1            $1
                                           expenses:supplies                          $1            $2
                                           assets:cash                               $-2             0
2008/12/31 pay off                         liabilities:debts                          $1     
                                           assets:bank:checking                      $-1

(in html obviously)

[simonmichael]

Yes, I'd expect HTML reports in general to have useful headings.

Arguably headings for this one would be nice on the console too, though it's different from Ledger. A separate issue.

[agander]

@simonmichael how do I get the transactions? (I've been staring too long at this hoping.)

[agander]

-- | Find the most similar and recent transactions matching the given
-- transaction description and report query.  Transactions are listed
-- with their "relevancy" score, most relevant first.
transactionsSimilarTo :: Journal -> Query -> Text -> [(Double,Transaction)]

in Add.hs seems like a contender. And then there is similarTransaction' in Print.hs.

@agander I'm not sure.. is this related to this issue ? Feel free to ping me on #hledger also.
