+<title>Description</title>
+<para>&kate; is the &kde; Advanced Text Editor. </para> 
+<para>&kate; also provides the editor part for various applications, under
+the name &kwrite;.</para>
+<para>Some of &kate;'s many features include configurable syntax
+highlighting for languages ranging from C and C++ to
+<acronym>HTML</acronym> to bash scripts, the ability to create and
+maintain projects, a multiple document interface
+(<acronym>MDI</acronym>), and a self-contained terminal emulator.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+But &kate; is more than a programmer's editor. Its ability to open
+several files at once makes it ideal for editing &UNIX;'s many
+configuration files.  This document was written in &kate;.

+<title>Examples</title>
+
+<para>To open a file named <filename>source.cpp</filename> at column 15,
+line 25, in an existing &kate; window, you could use:</para>
+<screen><userinput><command>kate</command> <option>-c 15</option> <option>-l
+25</option> <option>-u</option> <filename>source.cpp</filename></userinput> </screen>
+
+<para>If you have an active internet connection, you can take advantage of
+&kde;'s network transparency to open a file from an ftp site. If you do not
+have write permission on the remote server, the file will be opened read
+only and you will be prompted for a local filename to save to if you make
+changes.  If you do have write permission, changes will be saved
+transparently over the network.</para>

+
+<!-- FIXME: Some more useful examples would be cool, how about this snagged -->
+<!-- from a mail of anders (slightly edited /line/l to remove the double -->
+<!-- dashes:
+
+> /some/file/path/file.name:lineno
+> it would rock if Kate could understand that and not only open up file.name,
+> but jump to lineno after the file is opened.
+
+How bad is it to have to convert that into
+-l lineno /some/file/path/file.name 
+
+sed s,([^:]*):(\d+),-l \2 \1,
+
+will do that, for example.-->
