DESCRIPTION

       gedit or gnome-text-editor 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. Multiple documents can be edited at the same time.  Each document resides in a specific tabbed section of the application  win-
       dow.

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

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --encoding=encoding     Set the character encoding to be used to open the files listed on the command line.

       --new-window	       Create a new top-level window in an existing instance of gedit.

       +[num]		       For the first file, go to the line specified by num (do not insert a space between the "+" sign and the number). If
			       num is missing, go to the last line.
