inacct: is undocumented

[rstacruz]

hledger-web uses inacct:Assets, while the docs say the proper syntax is acct:Assets (here). Is there a difference between acct: and inacct:?

Yes they are different. inacct is a special, I guess undocumented, term used in hledger-web to set the current account we are "in" in a register view, which affects which transactions are shown and also how they are presented. You can have acct terms as well, providing extra filtering.

Are they functionally the same when used in the CLI?

No (try it). I've added a note to http://hledger.org/manual.html#queries .

Oh, neat! BTW, I'm working on an hledger-web clone (with more focus on
reports and visualization), your comments are really helpful.

Great! Don't forget about hledger-api, in case it's useful.
