ManEdit(1)	      Integrated Development Environments	    ManEdit(1)

NAME
       manedit - UNIX Manual Page IDE

SYNTAX
       manedit [section] [manual_page] [options] [GUI_options]

DESCRIPTION
       ManEdit is an integrated UNIX manual page development environment (IDE)
       using the GIMP Tool Kit (GTK).

       Editing of UNIX manual pages is	done  using  ManEdit's	Editor,	 which
       edits  UNIX  manual pages using a simplified version of the XML format,
       eliminating the need for the user to use the more  complex  GROFF/TROFF
       format (native UNIX manual page format).

       The  UNIX  manual  page	that you are editing can then be viewed at any
       time using ManEdit's Viewer by going to View->Preview.

       To start learning how to	 create	 and  edit  UNIX  manual  pages	 using
       ManEdit, run manedit and go to Help->Tutorial.

       The  [section] specifies the section number from 1 to 8 (used only with
       the --viewer option).

       The [manual_page] specifies the path to the manual page file to open at
       startup or the name of the manual page when using the --viewer option.

       --viewer

       --help Prints the help screen and exits.

       --version
	      Prints the version information and exits.

	      Global manual pages directory.

       /usr/share/man

	      tions).

       %%X11BASE%%/man
	      Global X11 manual pages directory.

       %%LOCALBASE%%/man
	      Global local manual pages directory.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       BROWSER
	      Fallback for HELPBROWSER.

       HELPBROWSER
	      Specifies the command to execute the preferred help browser.

       HOME   Specifies the path to the user's home directory.

       TMPDIR Specifies the path to the temporary files directory.

       USERNAME

EXAMPLES
       To run this program the standard way, type:

       # manedit &

       To run this program and load a manual page at startup, type:

       # manedit [manual_page] &

       You can run it as a viewer by specifying the --viewer option so that it
       starts up with a viewer instead of an editor window:

       # manedit --viewer [manual_page] &
