+Description: generic text editor (documentation files)
+ Xed is a text editor which supports most standard editor features,
+ extending this basic functionality with other features not usually
+ found in simple text editors. Xed is a graphical application which
+ supports editing multiple text files in one window (known sometimes as
+ tabs or MDI).
+ .
+ Xed fully supports international text through its use of the
+ Unicode UTF-8 encoding in edited files. Its core feature set includes syntax
+ highlighting of source code, auto indentation and printing and print preview
+ support.
+ .
+ Xed is also extensible through its plugin system, which currently
+ includes support for spell checking, comparing files, viewing CVS
+ ChangeLogs, and adjusting indentation levels.
+ .
+ This package contains the documentation files.
