+## Reporting
+
+```
+hledger bal {query}
+hledger reg {query}
+```
+{:.large.terminal}
+
+## Query
+
+Queries are used on all commands (`bal`, `reg`, etc). [(docs)](http://hledger.org/manual.html#queries)
+
+```
+Assets # An account (regex)
+acct:Assets # same
+^Assets # Starting with Assets (eg, not 'Expenses:Assets')
+
+acctonly:A # no subaccounts
+
+amt:2000 # amount (in absolute value)
+amt:<200 # amount comparison (in absolute value)
+amt:<+200 # amount comparison
+ # also: <=, >, >=
+
+desc:REGEX # description
+code:REGEX # transaction code (check number?)
+tag:REGEX
+cur:'\$'
+
+real: # real posts
+real:0 # virtual posts
+
+depth:N # --depth 2
+not:... # eg, not:status:!
+```
+
+### Filter by status/type
+
+```
+real:1 # -R, --real, no virtuals
+status:! # --pending
+status:* # -C, --cleared
+status: # --uncleared
+```
+
+### Periods
+For dates and intervals (see above).
+
+```
+date:2015/01/01
+date:2015/01/01- # -b, --begin
+date:-2015/01/01 # -e, --end
+date2:PERIODEXPR
+```
+
+```
+-p, --period=...
+ -p "2009/01/01"
+ -p "2009/01/01 to 2009/12/31"
+ -p "2009/01/01to2009/12/31" # spaces optional
+ -p "1/1 to 12/31"
+ -p "to 2009"
+ -p "weekly" # -W, --weekly
+ -p "weekly 2009/01/01 to 2009/12/31"
+```
+
+### Intervals
+Used on all commands (`bal`, `reg`, etc). Displays in multi-column mode. In `ledger-cli`, only `reg` is supported. Can also specified via `-p` (period).
+
+```
+-D, --daily
+-W, --weekly
+-M, --monthly
+-Q, --quarterly
+-Y, --yearly
+```
+
+### Smart dates
+Used for `--period`, `--begin` and `--end` (`-p` `-b` `-e`).
+
+```
+-p 2015/01/01
+-p 2015/01
+-p 2015
+-p january
+-p jan
+-p 05/25
+```
+
+```
+-b today
+-b yesterday
+-e tomorrow
+```
+
+```
+-p this week
+-p last month
+-p this year
+```
+
+## Display formats
+
+```
+ --tree # only in bal
+ --flat
+
+ --depth 2 # collapse those under this depth
+ --drop 1 # drop top-level accounts
+-B, --cost # convert to default currency
+-E, --empty # don't strip out $0 accounts
+ --date2 # use date2 when available
+```
+
+## Multi-column mode
+When used with intervals (like `--weekly`):
+
+```
+-T, --row-total
+-N, --no-total
+```
+
+Also: (only in `bal`)
+
+```
+ --cumulative # show ending balance per period
+-I, --historical # like --cumulative but only for --begin
+-A, --average
+```
+
+
+## Accounts
+
+```
+hledger accounts [--tree]
+```
+
+## Other commands
+
+```
+hledger balancesheet # bs
+hledger incomestatement # is
+hledger cashflow # cf
+hledger print
+hledger activity
+hledger stats
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+```
+# Current balance
+ hledger bal Assets
+ hledger balancesheet
+
+ hledger balancesheet Assets [--cleared --cost --empty -e tomorrow]
+ # ...discard future stuff; convert foreign currencies
+
+# Monthly changes in assets
+ hledger bal Assets Liabilities --monthly --tree --historical [--cleared --cost --empty -e tomorrow]
+
+# Weekly expenses
+ hledger bal Expenses --weekly --average --tree -b 'last month' [--cleared --cost --empty -e tomorrow]
