HNB(1)							      General Commands Manual							    HNB(1)

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.

       -rc <file>
	      Load another config file than default.

       -ui <curses|cli>
	      Specify user interface to use.

       -e     Run commands in noninteractive mode (start hnb with the cli ui and type `help' to get more information).

FILES

       ~/.hnb The default file for your notes. To use another, specify its name on the command line.

       ~/.hnbrc
	      The default configuration file. To load another config file than default, use the -rc command-line option.

SEE ALSO

       For more information on the usage of the program, load the tutorial using hnb --tutorial and consult Documentation.hnb.	On Debian  systems
       you can read it with hnb /usr/share/doc/hnb/Documentation.hnb
