NAME

       gedit - text editor for the GNOME Desktop

SYNOPSIS

       gedit [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       gedit is the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment.

       While  aiming  at simplicity and ease of use, gedit is a powerful general purpose text editor.  It can be used to create and edit all kinds
       of text files.

       gedit features a flexible plugin system which can be used to dynamically add new advanced features to gedit itself.
