NAME

6       Xed - The Text Editor
7

SYNOPSIS

9       xed [OPTIONS...] [FILES...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Xed  is  the  official text editor of the X-APPS project, which aims to
13       provide applications to the Cinnamon, MATE  and  Xfce  desktops.  While
14       aiming at simplicity and ease of use, Xed is a powerful general purpose
15       text editor. It can be used to create and edit all sorts of text files.
16
17       Xed features a flexible plugin system which can be used to  dynamically
18       add new advanced features to Xed itself.
19
20       This manual page briefly documents the xed command.
