Changing equity name in option

[jacobburrell]

From the options reference:

option "name_assets" "Assets"
option "name_liabilities" "Liabilities"
option "name_equity" "Equity"
option "name_income" "Income"
option "name_expenses" "Expenses"
Root names of every account. This can be used to customize your
category names, so that if you prefer "Revenue" over "Income" or
"Capital" over "Equity", you can set them here. The account names in
your input files must match, and the parser will validate these. You
should place these options at the beginning of your file, because
they affect how the parser recognizes account names.

If I try to declare:
option "name_equity" "Capital"

Then try to use it:

2014-01-02 * "Deposit"
  Assets:Checking           100.00 USD
  Capital:Opening-Balances

Capital:Opening-Balances brings an error, even though it builds correctly.

Test the following:

option "name_equity" "Capital"
2014-01-01 open Assets:Checking
2014-01-01 open Capital:Opening-Balances

2014-01-02 * "Deposit"
  Assets:Checking           100.00 USD
  Capital:Opening-Balances

Keyword "Equity" is hardcoded. I don't know if it is possible to not hardcode it.

[jacobburrell]

With command-line tools, everything is possible.

Changing "Liabilities" to "Debt" does work.
Both are root accounts.

option "name_liabilities" "Debt"

See the following working example:

option "name_equity" "Capital"
option "name_liabilities" "Debt"

2014-01-01 open Assets:Checking
2014-01-01 open Debt:Opening-Balances

2014-01-02 * "Deposit"
  Assets:Checking           100.00 USD
  Debt:Opening-Balances

Hmm, that's interesting. Sadly I won't be able to help, because I've moved beancounting to VSCode and don't remember Sublime tricks anymore.
