help

Show the hledger user manual in the terminal, with info, man, or a
pager. With a TOPIC argument, open it at that topic if possible. TOPIC
can be any heading in the manual, or a heading prefix, case insensitive.
Eg: commands, print, forecast, journal, amount, "auto postings".

_FLAGS

This command shows the hledger manual built in to your hledger version.
It can be useful when offline, or when you prefer the terminal to a web
browser, or when the appropriate hledger manual or viewing tools are not
installed on your system.

By default it chooses the best viewer found in $PATH (preferring info
since the hledger manual is large). You can select a particular viewer
with the -i, -m, or -p flags.

Examples

$ hledger help --help    # show how the help command works
$ hledger help           # show the hledger manual with info, man or $PAGER
$ hledger help journal   # show the journal topic in the hledger manual
