<title>Introduction</title>

<para>
Welcome to &kate;, a programmer's text editor for &kde; version 2.2 and
above. 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;.
