I have started using ledger with Org, and would be interested in knowing =
experiences of other users.

I see two sets of uses in combining Ledger with Org.

1. Record keeping of transactions: Org works with ledger mainly through =
babel. Has anyone considered the possibility of maintaining the records =
natively in Org, which could be exported to ledger? Keeping native =
ledger source blocks in Org does not seem to add much value as far as =
maintaining books is concerned. Some people have tried some basic =
expense recording in Org, but to my knowledge, these solutions do not =
talk to ledger.

2. Generating reports: Babel results do not use the standard Org table =
syntax. Given my limited knowledge of lisp, I am finding it difficult to =
programme customising these reports in Org. It would be of much benefit =
if other users could share how they customise ledger reports in Org. =
Some examples would be great.
