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.

OPTIONS
       --help Prints the command line options.

       --encoding
	      Set the character encoding to be used for opening the files listed on the command line".

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

       --new-document
	      Create a new document 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.

       filename(s)...
	      Specifies  the  file  to	open  when gedit starts. If this is not specified, gedit will load a blank file with an "Unsaved Document"
	      label. Multiple files can be loaded if they are separated by spaces.  gedit also supports handling of remote  files.   For  example,
	      you  can	pass  the  location  of  a  webpage  to  gedit,  like  "http://www.gnome.org",	or  load  a  file  from a FTP server, like
	      "ftp://ftp.gnome.org/robots.txt".
