DESCRIPTION

15       gedit is the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment.
16
17       While aiming at simplicity and ease of use, gedit is a powerful general
18       purpose text editor.  It can be used to create and edit  all  kinds  of
19       text files.
20
21       gedit  features  a  flexible plugin system which can be used to dynami‐
22       cally add new advanced features to gedit itself.
