NAME

mp-5 - Minimum Profit Editor, a text editor for programmers

SYNOPSIS

mp-5 [options] [+NNN] [file [file...]]

DESCRIPTION

Minimum Profit (mp) is a text editor for programmers. Among its features are the following: o Fully scriptable using a C-like scripting language. o Unlimited undo levels. o Complete Unicode support. o Multiple files can be edited at the same time and blocks copied and pasted among them. o Syntax highlighting for many popular languages / file formats: C, C++, Perl, Shell Scripts, Ruby, Php, Python, HTML... o Creative use of tags: tags created by the external utility ctags are used to move instantaneously to functions or variables inside your current source tree. Tags are visually highlighted (underlined), and symbol completion can be triggered to avoid typing your own function names over and over. o Intelligent help system: pressing F1 over any word of a text being edited triggers the underlying system help (calling man when editing C or Shell files, perldoc with Perl, ri on Ruby, winhelp on MS Windows...). o Understandable interface: drop-down menus, reasonable default key bindings. o Configurable keys, menus and colors. o Text templates can be easily defined / accessed. o Multiplatform: Console/curses, Qt4, GTK+, KDE4, MS Windows. o Automatic indentation, word wrapping, internal grep, learning / repeating functions. o Spellchecking support (via the ispell package). o Multilingual. o Password-protected, encrypted text files (using the ARCFOUR algorithm). o It helps you abandon vi, emacs and other six-legged freaks definitely.

OPTIONS

The following options are avaiable: -t tag Edits the file where tag is defined (see ctags(1)). -e mpsl_code Executes MPSL code. -f mpsl_script Executes an MPSL script. -d directory Changes working directory. -x file opens file in the hexadecimal viewer. NNN Moves to line number NNN of last file.

MPSL

MPSL (Minimum Profit Scripting Language) is a powerful programming language embedded in the Minimum Profit Text Editor (a huge part of the editor itself is written in MPSL). Its features are too large to be inserted here; please read the documentation.
