NAME

       hnb - Hierarchical notebook

SYNOPSIS

       hnb [file] [options] [command [command] .. ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the hnb hierarchical notebook.

       hnb  is	an ncurses program to organize many kinds of data in one place, for example addresses, todo lists, ideas, book reviews or to store
       snippets of brainstorming, to make a structured packing list or just to take random notes.  It can export ascii/html/latex/postscript, sup-
       ports todo checkboxes, checkbox trees with percentages and searching.

       hnb uses a simple ascii file for storing your notes. This file can be specified on the command line. If not specified, ~/.hnb is loaded (or
       created if missing).

OPTIONS

       hnb can be invoked with the following options:

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

       -t, --tutorial
	      Load the tutorial instead of a database.
