NAME
       tomboy - A simple note-taking application for Gnome

SYNOPSIS
       tomboy [OPTION] ...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the tomboy command.

       Tomboy  is  a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas
       and information you deal with every day.

       Tomboy's usefulness lies in the ability to relate notes and ideas together, using a WikiWiki-like linking system.

       When run without any options, the Tomboy note menu appears in the Gnome Panel's notification tray area.	Selecting a  note  from  the  menu
       displays the note's spatial window.

       Changes to notes are saved automatically.  Links to URLs, files, and other notes are detected as you type.  Rich editing such as highlight-
       ing, bold, italics, undo/redo, and variable font sizes are supported.

       Global keybindings exist to allow fast access to Tomboy notes and dialogs.  These keybindings are set in GConf (see below) and may be acti-
       vated from any application.

OPTIONS
       The  program  follows  the  usual GNU command line syntax, with options starting with two dashes (`--').  A summary of options are included
       below.
