Hi all,

 

I have moved from Ledger to hledger for quite some time. There is one major culprit, that is hledger does not support per-posting payee. To work around this, I have to use a custom `Payee` tag to record payee (yes, that is the reserved tag in Ledger). This works well when I want to get a report of loans by lenders for example, but in register report (`reg` and `areg`), I can't seem to find a way to print those `Payee` tags for every transactions. IIRC, this must be customized via output format or something like that.

 

May anyone help me?
