NAME

       kabikaboo - recursive writing assistant

SYNOPSIS

       kabikaboo [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       kabikaboo  is  a  tree  branching  text	organizer. It is meant to be used to help aid in the writing of novels or other large documents. A
       recursive viewing feature allows one to see any section of the tree.

       You can see an overview of all the children or grandchildren of any given node in the tree, for reference. Each	text  node  can  have  any
       arrangement of children, and the nodes can be moved around freely. A tabbed notebook allows users to keep track of the most recently opened
       nodes, easing movement within a large tree.

       This tree-based note pad could be used for any purposes - not only for novels. It could be used to plan a  technical  manual,  todo  lists,
       anything  that  would  benefit from tree-based text organization. Kabikaboo is not meant to actually write a document - you should use Abi-
       Word/OpenOffice/LaTeX or some other editor for that purpose..

       Free and open source, created with Python, PyGTK, Geany, Glade.	SH OPTIONS No options available.

FILES

       ~/.kabikaboo/settings.txt
	      The user's saved settings file.  Includes last opened file, last directory, window size, viewing preferencs, and more.  It is  auto-
	      generated upon running.

BUGS
