NAME

       tomboy - A simple note-taking application for Gnome

SYNOPSIS

       tomboy [OPTION] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tomboy command.

       Tomboy  is  a  desktop  note-taking  application  for  Linux  and  Unix. Simple and easy to use, but with
       potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day.

       Tomboy's usefulness lies in the ability to relate notes and ideas together, using a WikiWiki-like linking
       system.

       When  run  without any options, the Tomboy note menu appears in the Gnome Panel's notification tray area.
       Selecting a note from the menu displays the note's spatial window.

       Changes to notes are saved automatically.  Links to URLs, files, and other  notes  are  detected  as  you
       type.   Rich  editing  such  as  highlighting,  bold,  italics,  undo/redo,  and  variable font sizes are
       supported.

       Global keybindings exist to allow fast access to Tomboy notes and dialogs.  These keybindings are set  in
       GConf (see below) and may be activated from any application.

       The  program  follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with options starting with two dashes (`--').  A
