I'm a Spaniard retired man, long time Linux user and a fan of Emacs and plain text.
Although GnuCash has been my accounting program for years, I tried ledger with Emacs ledger-mode some time ago and I really liked it, but I didn't implement it in my flow because I had other projects in mind, but now I've decided to do it, but it seems to be more active, so I've decided to start with it.
Now I have decided to do it, but it seems that hledger is more active, so I have decided to start with it. If you have any suggestion, or reference, on how to use it with Emacs will be welcome.
Thanks and best regards.

Welcome @QuijoteLibre ! I also came from GnuCash.
Youâll want Editor configuration - hledger
I use hledger + ledger-mode + flycheck-hledger myself. If flycheck-hledger gives trouble, my fork might be newer.

Simon has pointed you to some very good information. Once you have finished with that, here are a couple of posts I made relating to Emacs and hledger:

Gracias, tenĂa ya tĂș sitio y tus vĂdeos fichados 
AĂșn tengo alguna duda entre hledger y ledeger, que ya use y cĂłmo soy muy indeciso, eso me esta bloqueando, aunque espero empezar la prĂłxima semana a anotar mi mes de enero.
Me gustarĂa saber si usas algĂșn sistema de captura de movimientos en Android (yo no lo veo muy necesario)
Sorry for the Spanish, it was a mistake, I put it in English:
Thanks, I already had your site and your videos on file 
I still have some doubt between hledger and ledeger, that I already use and as I am very indecisive, that is blocking me, although I hope to start next week to score my month of January.
I would like to know if you use any motion capture system in Android (I don't see it very necessary).
Gracias, y para mĂ, quien uso la lĂnea de comando (no estoy seguro si asĂ se dice âcommand lineâ en español), no hay que decidir entre los dos programas, hledger y ledger. Yo puedo substituir uno por el otro en cualquier momento, como no hay diferencia en el archivo con los gastos y ganancias.
Has preguntado si uso un sistema de captura de movimientos en Android. No uso ningĂșn sistema de captura. Tal vez funciona bien para algunas personas, pero no veo gran necesidad para mĂ.
Si puedo ofrecer un consejo, con respeto a cuando empezar. Yo empezarĂa con la fecha de hoy en vez de una fecha varios dĂas en el pasado. HabrĂĄ frustraciones en empezando, pero menos frustraciones si hay solamente un dĂa de movimientos.
First of all, thanks for your answer, and in Spanish
.
Secondly, sorry I missed the Spanish, I will try not to do it again.
As for your doubt about the translation, the expression you use is correct, although you can simply use the word 'terminal'.
It was good for me to practice my Spanish! I don't have too many opportunities to use it.
I wish you much success with getting started with plain text accounting!
