Total cost: {{}} or @@?

[man...@gmail.com]

The Cheat Sheet says total cost syntax is {{nn CUR}}, but the Language Syntax Document says it is "@@ nn CUR".

Is one incorrect? Is one preferred?

  -k.

Two remarks:

- {{ }} is outdated. One should use the newer syntax, e.g. {# 3000.00 USD} instead. Note that a combination of per-unit and total amounts is possible, e.g. {72.34 # 9.95 USD} would (num_units * 72.34 + 9.95).

- {} is for cost basis. @ (and @@) is for price. These are different things. {} attaches the per-unit cost to what's deposited in the account. @ doesn't. More in the docs.
