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
