NAME

       wordgrinder - console-based word processor

SYNOPSIS

       wordgrinder [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       wordgrinder  is a simple character cell word processor that runs on the console. 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 before startup.

       --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  (but  after
       any --lua files). It defaults to:

       ~/.wordgrinder.lua
