NAME

       leafpad - GTK+ based simple text editor

DESCRIPTION

       leafpad is a simple GTK+ based text editor. The user interface is similar to Windows(tm)
       notepad. It aims to be lighter than GEdit and KWrite and to be as useful as them.

       WARNING: The encoding feature is derived from built-in Glib's iconv feature (g_convert),
       which you can check with command "iconv -l".  Leafpad can use only the listed encoding.
       Any other encoding cause serious data loss.
