GNP(1)                    gnotepad+ HTML/text editor                    GNP(1)


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 sessionrc, are also created there.  They are
       maintained by the program itself, so the user should never need to edit
       these two files.
