# TextEdit(1)

basic editor for GNUstep

## NAME

TextEdit - basic editor for GNUstep

## SYNOPSIS

**TextEdit**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **TextEdit** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**TextEdit** is a relatively basic text editor. It handles plain text or RTF, has a nice "Wrap to Page" mode, has search/replace functionality, and can display any file as text.

## SEE ALSO

[**open**(1)](/open/1.md), [**GNUstep**(7)](/GNUstep/7.md).
