NAME
gnp - gnotepad+, a GTK-based HTML/text editor
SYNOPSIS
gnp [options] [files ...]
DESCRIPTION
Gnotepad+ is an easy-to-use, yet fairly feature-rich, simple HTML and
text editor for Unix based systems running X11 and using GTK (the Gimp
ToolKit). Gnotepad+ was designed to have as little bloat as possible,
while still providing many of the common features found in a modern
GUI-based text editor. It is still fairly light-weight, especially
for the features it offers, and aims to remain that way.
The "+" in gnotepad+ is there to differentiate it from other GTK-based
text editors which may call themselves "gnotepad". Additionally,
gnotepad+ is not intended to be fancy, so it leverages its text
editing capabilities on the GTK Text Widget. Hence, if you are
looking for a programmers's editor, look for another text editor or
help improve the GTK Text Widget.
On startup gnp will create the directory .gnp within the user's home
directory. The user may create the file gtkrc in that directory and
put GTK-specific settings there. Four additional files, apprc,
appgtkrc, recentrc, and are also created there. They are maintained
by the program itself, so the user should never need to edit these two
files.
