# kmdr-editor(1)

editor for the Kommander visual dialog building tool

## NAME

kmdr-editor - editor for the Kommander visual dialog building tool

## SYNOPSIS

**kmdr-editor** \[ *generic-options* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**Kommander** is a visual dialog building tool whose primary objective is to create as much functionality as possible without using any scripting language.

More specifically, Kommander is a set of tools that allow you to create dynamic GUI dialogs that generate, based on their state, a piece of text. The piece of text can be a command line to a program, any piece of code, business documents that contain a lot of repititious or templated text and so on.  The resulting generated text can then be executed as a command line program (hence the name "Kommander"), written to a file, passed to a script for extended processing, and literally anything else you can think of.  The best part of it all?  You aren't required to write a single line of code!

This editor (**kmdr-editor**) allows you to lay out your entire dialog through a graphical user interface.  Once a dialog has been created by the editor, it is saved as a file with extension *.kmdr*.  The dialog that this XML file represents can then be run instantly with the executor (**kmdr-executor**).

This application is part of the official KDE web development module.

## OPTIONS

For a full summary of options, run *kmdr-editor --help*.
