   * `/t myTemplate`: Use the template created before. For all variables used, the value to use will be asked. It is possible to call a template with only a subset of its name, as long as it's uniquely identifiable, e.g. `/t myTempl`
 * `/cancel`: Cancel either the current transaction recording questionnaire or the creation of a new template.
 * `/comment` or `/c`: Add arbitrary text to the transaction list (e.g. for follow-ups). Example: `/c Checking account balance needs to be asserted`. (Note that no comment prefix (`;`) is added automatically, so that by default the entered comment string causes a syntax error in a beancount file to ease follow-up and so that comments don't drown in long transaction lists)
-* `/list`: Show a list of all currently recorded transactions (for easy copy-and-paste into your beancount file). The parameter `/list dated` adds a comment prior to each transaction in the list with the date and time the transaction has been added. `/list archived` shows all archived transactions. The parameters can also be used in conjunction, i.e. `/list archived dated`.

The parameter `/list dated` adds a comment prior to each transaction in the list with the date and time the transaction has been added. `/list archived` shows all archived transactions. The parameters can also be used in conjunction, i.e. `/list archived dated`. When using the REST API, you can get a plain text list by adding `?format=text` to the URL.
   * `/list [archived] numbered`: Shows the transactions list with preceded number identifier. 
   * `/list [archived] rm <number>`: Remove a single transaction from the list
 * `/archiveAll`: Mark all currently opened transactions as archived. They can be revisited using `/list archived`.
