NAME

       xwordgrinder - Xlib-based word processor

SYNOPSIS

       wordgrinder [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       xwordgrinder  is  a  simple  character cell word processor that runs on X11. It is primarily designed for
       text entry. It's designed to get the hell out of your way and let you write; it  does  very  little,  but
       what it does it does well.

       It  supports  Unicode,  basic  paragraph  styles,  basic  character  styles,  basic screen markup, a menu
       interface that means you don't have to remember complex key sequences, HTML import and export,  and  some
       other useful features.

       When running, pressing ESC (or ALT + menu shortcut key) will open the menu.

OPTIONS

       These options follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       --lua filename
              Loads and executes a Lua file instead of starting normally.

       --convert srcfile destfile
              Converts from srcfile to destfile and then exits.

              The  type of the file is autodetected from the extension of the filename. The source file may have
              a document name suffixed with a : for use when importing or exporting WordGrinder files.

       --config file.lua
              Sets the name of the user config file.

CONFIGURATION

       The user config file is a Lua file which is loaded and executed before the program starts up. It defaults
       to:

       ~/.wordgrinder/startup.lua
