docs: add iso 8601 week year
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add docs explaining how ISO 8601 week dates are calculated, and give
examples of when they differ slightly from what one might naively expect
looking at a Gregorian calendar.

### ISO 8601 Week dates

### Account
The week-based calendar follows
[ISO 8601 week-numbering system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date)
with each week starting on Mondays and the first week of the ISO week-based year
being the first week that has the majority of its days in January. Equivalently,
it is also the week to containing January 4th.

Some examples where the ISO week-based calendar differs from the Gregorian
calendar:

- Week 1 of 2025 starts on Monday 30 December 2024 and ends on Sunday 5 January
2025\. As a result, 30 December 2024 belongs to the year 2025 of the ISO
week-based calendar, despite being in the year 2024 of the Gregorian calendar.
- Week 53 of 2020 ends on Sunday 3 January 2021. As a result, 3 January 2021
belongs to the year 2020 of the ISO week-based calendar, despite being in the
year 2021 of the Gregorian calendar.

Most years of ISO week-based calendars have 52 weeks, but as there are slightly
more than 52 weeks in a year, some years contain a 53rd week.

## Account

Filter entries by account, matching any entry this account is part of. The
filter can be an account name, either the full account name or a component of
the account name, or a regular expression matching the account name, e.g.
`.*Company.*` to filter for all that contain `Company`.

### Filter by tag, link, payee and other metadata
