.TH TED 1 "2.12" "17 Dec 2002"
.SH NAME
@ted@ \- an easy rich text editor
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B @ted@
.I "[ filename ]"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page briefly documents the program
.BR @ted@.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
Instead, it has on-line help; see below.
.PP
.BR @ted@
is a text processor running under X Windows on Unix/Linux systems.
.BR @ted@
uses RTF (rich text format), a document format supported by
Microsoft(tm) word processors, and various other applications, mostly
(but not exclusively) on the MS-Windows(tm) platform.
.PP
.BR @ted@
is designed to be as compatible as possible with MS-Windows(tm)
applications. Every document produced by
.BR @ted@
should, without any loss
of formatting or information, be accepted as a legal .rtf file by
MS-Word(tm). Compatibility in the other direction is more difficult
to achieve.
.BR @ted@
supports most basic text formatting, as supported by the Microsoft
applications. Other formatting instructions and meta information are
ignored.
.PP
.I @ted@
includes support for in-line bitmap pictures, postscript printing,
spell checking, tables, symbols, and more.
.PP
A sample application defaults file can be found in
/usr/doc/ted-common/examples/Ted.ad.sample.gz. This file requires
editing to be useful with Debian GNU/Linux, which is why it is not
installed by default.
.SH OPTIONS
@ted@ supports some options for printing from the command-line. The
options can start with either '++' or '--'. For the '++' commands, the
X11 environment is only used to resolve configurable resources for
these calls but it is still needed. This is a known deficiency of
@ted@. For the '--' commands, only the default settings compiled into
@ted@ will be used.
.TP
\fI--|++\fPprint \fIfile.rtf\fP
Print \fIfile.rtf\fP on the default printer (usually called lp).
.TP
\fI--|++\fPprintToPrinter \fIfile.rtf\fP \fIprinter\fP
Print \fIfile.rtf\fP on the printer named \fIprinter\fP.
.TP
\fI--|++\fPprintPaper \fIfile.rtf\fP \fIsize\fP
Print \fIfile.rtf\fP on the default printer, using the specified paper
\fIsize\fP. \fISize\fP should be one of the standard paper sizes known
to @ted@, i.e. 'a4', 'letter', etc.
.TP
\fI--|++\fPprintToPrinterPaper \fIfile.rtf\fP \fIprinter\fI \fIsize\fP
Print \fIfile.rtf\fP on the specified printer, using the specified
paper size.
.TP
\fI--|++\fPprintToFile \fIfile.rtf\fP \fIfile.ps\fP
Convert \fIfile.rtf\fP to a PostScript file named \fIfile.ps\fP.
.TP
\fI--|++\fPprintToFilePaper \fIfile.rtf\fP \fIfile.ps\fP \fIsize\fP
Convert \fIfile.rtf\fP to a PostScript file designed for paper of the
specified size.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
