Description-en: official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment
gedit is a text editor which supports most standard editor features,
extending this basic functionality with other features not usually
found in simple text editors. gedit is a graphical application which
supports editing multiple text files in one window (known sometimes as
tabs or MDI).
.
gedit fully supports international text through its use of the Unicode
UTF-8 encoding in edited files. Its core feature set includes syntax
highlighting of source code, auto indentation and printing and print preview
support.
.
gedit is also extensible through its plugin system, which currently
includes support for spell checking, comparing files, viewing CVS
ChangeLogs, and adjusting indentation levels.
