>Introduction</title>

<para
> Welcome to &kate;, a programmer's text editor for &kde; version 2.2 and above. Some of &kate;'s many features include configurable syntax highlighting for languages ranging from C and C++ to <acronym
>HTML</acronym
> to bash scripts, the ability to create and maintain projects, a multiple document interface (<acronym
>MDI</acronym
>), and a self-contained terminal emulator. </para>

<para
> But &kate; is more than a programmer's editor. Its ability to open several files at once makes it ideal for editing &UNIX;'s many configuration files. This document was written in &kate;. </para>
