DESCRIPTION

18       wordgrinder  is a simple character cell word processor that runs on the
19       console. It is primarily designed for text entry. It's designed to  get
20       the  hell  out  of your way and let you write; it does very little, but
21       what it does it does well.
22
23       It supports Unicode, basic paragraph styles,  basic  character  styles,
24       basic  screen  markup,  a  menu  interface that means you don't have to
25       remember complex key sequences, HTML import and export, and some  other
26       useful features.
27
28       When  running,  pressing ESC (or ALT + menu shortcut key) will open the
29       menu.

OPTIONS

35       These options follow the usual  GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
36       options starting with two dashes (`-').
37
38

40              Show summary of options.
41
42
43       --lua filename
44              Loads and executes a Lua file instead of starting normally.
45
46
47       --convert srcfile destfile
48              Converts from srcfile to destfile and then exits.
49
50              The  type  of the file is autodetected from the extension of the
51              filename. The source file may have a document name suffixed with
52              a : for use when importing or exporting WordGrinder files.
