NAME
Ted - an easy rich text editor
SYNOPSIS
Ted [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the program Ted. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has on-line help; see below.
Ted is a text processor running under X Windows on Unix/Linux systems. Ted uses RTF (rich text format), a document format supported by Microsoft(tm) word processors, and various other applications, mostly (but not exclusively) on the MS-Windows(tm) platform.
Ted is designed to be as compatible as possible with MS-Windows(tm) applications. Every document produced by Ted should, without any loss of formatting or information, be accepted as a legal .rtf file by MS-Word(tm). Compatibility in the other direction is more difficult to achieve. Ted supports most basic text formatting, as supported by the Microsoft applications. Other formatting instructions and meta information are ignored.
Ted includes support for in-line bitmap pictures, postscript printing, spell checking, tables, symbols, and more.
A sample application defaults file can be found in /usr/doc/ted/examples/Ted.ad.sample.gz. This file requires editing to be useful with Debian GNU/Linux, which is why it is not installed by default.
