NAME

       gnote - A simple note-taking application for Gnome

SYNOPSIS

       gnote [OPTION] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gnote command.

       Gnote  is  a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple
       and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas  and
       information you deal with every day.

       Gnote’s  usefulness  lies  in  the  ability  to  relate notes and ideas
       together, using a WikiWiki-like linking system.

       When run without any options, the Gnote note menu appears in the  Gnome
       Panel’s  notification  tray  area.   Selecting  a  note  from  the menu
       displays the note’s spatial window.

       Changes to notes are saved automatically.  Links to  URLs,  files,  and
       other   notes   are  detected  as  you  type.   Rich  editing  such  as
       highlighting, bold, italics, undo/redo, and  variable  font  sizes  are
       supported.

       Global  keybindings  exist  to  allow  fast  access  to Gnote notes and
       dialogs.  These keybindings are set in GConf (see  below)  and  may  be
       activated from any application.

OPTIONS

       The  program  follows  the  usual GNU command line syntax, with options
       starting with two dashes (‘--’).  A summary  of  options  are  included
