bean-format - pretty print and align a Beancount ledger

usage: bean-format [-h] [--version] [-o OUTPUT] [-w PREFIX_WIDTH]

[-W NUM_WIDTH] [-c CURRENCY_COLUMN] [filename]

Align a beancount/ledger input file's numbers. This reformats at beancount or ledger input file so that the amounts in the postings are all aligned to the same column. The currency should match. Note: this does not parse the Beancount ledger. It simply uses regular expressions and text manipulations to do its work.
