<title>Introduction</title>

<para>
&kwrite; is more than a text editor for the &kde; Desktop. It is meant
to be a programmer's editor, and could be considered as at least a
partial alternative to more powerful editors.  It may be best used in
conjunction with &konqueror; or &dolphin; for source file browsing for different
languages. &kwrite; also works very well as a simple text editor.  One
of &kwrite;'s main features is the colorized syntax, customized for many
different programming languages such as: C/C++, &Java;, Python, Perl,
Bash, Modula 2, &HTML;, and Ada.
</para>
<para>&kwrite; has a single document interface (<acronym>SDI</acronym>)
allowing you to edit one file at the time per window.
</para>
<para>
&kwrite; features two different modes, a simple mode with a straightforward interface
and an advanced mode with more features and more extensive menu items.
The advanced mode is enabled by checking the option <link linkend="appearance">
Enable power user mode (&kde; 3 mode)</link>
on the <guilabel>Appearance</guilabel> page in &kappname;s
settings.
