0078 Welcome to &kate;, a programmer's text editor by &kde;.
0079 Some of &kate;'s many features include configurable syntax
0080 highlighting for languages ranging from C and C++ to
0081 &HTML; to bash scripts, the ability to create and
0082 maintain projects, a multiple document interface
0083 (<acronym>MDI</acronym>), and a self-contained terminal emulator.
0084 </para>
0085
0086 <para>
0087 But &kate; is more than a programmer's editor. Its ability to open
0088 several files at once makes it ideal for editing &UNIX;'s many
0089 configuration files.  This document was written in &kate;.
