That last link is a tutorial for hledger, which actually isn't the same
as normal ledger -- it's sort of "inspired by" ledger, but has different
commands, as you discovered.

Documentation for ledger is a little spotty. I've found the official
docs to be better than anything else, though they still leave a little
to be desired:
