<div id="intro">
***Plain text accounting*** is a way of doing bookkeeping and accounting
with plain text files and scriptable, command-line-friendly software, such as
[Ledger, hledger, or Beancount](#pta-apps).
Welcome!
This site together with [wiki.plaintextaccounting.org](https://wiki.plaintextaccounting.org)
is an entry point to the PTA community's tools, docs and practices.
It is [maintained](README.html) by
Simon&nbsp;Michael (hledger project leader, Ledger contributor, PTA fan) and contributors like you.

### PTA apps
To do Plain Text Accounting, choose one of the apps below.
Generally it's relatively easy to migrate data from one to another.
<!-- Syntax: http://pandoc.org/README.html#tables -->
<!-- Leading |'s let markdown-mode realign the table with TAB, but screw up fontification. Hmm, maybe fixed ? Try it. -->
<!-- Active projects are sorted by committers+other community size/activity signals; inactives are sorted by start date. -->
<!-- Committers count can be eg the "Contributors" count on github. -->
