+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+beancount: beancount (command-line double-entry accounting)
+beancount:
+beancount: Beancount is a double-entry accounting system that uses a simple text
+beancount: file format as input. The ideas and syntax is entirely inspired by
+beancount: John Wiegley's ledger, and the syntax is pretty much compatible
+beancount: with it. A few Python scripts are used to parse the contents of
+beancount: the file, for example, to serve the contents as a locally running
+beancount: web server. Scripts are provided to convert from OFX files into
+beancount: Ledger input format, and other formats (easily extensible).
