  <title>A brief introduction to gedit</title>

  <p>
    <app>gedit</app> is an easy-to-use and general-purpose text editor. Its
    development started in 1998, at the beginnings of the
    <link href="https://www.gnome.org/">GNOME</link> project, with a good
    integration with that desktop environment.
  </p>

  <p>
    You can use it to write simple notes and documents, or you can enable more
    advanced features that are useful for software development.
