<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>
<screen><userinput><command>kate</command> <option><replaceable>ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/README_FIRST</replaceable></option></userinput></screen>
<!-- 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:

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.-->
