+
+ <p>The <app>Modelines</app> plugin allows <app>gedit</app> to analyze the
+ lines of text at the start and end of a file, and then apply a set of
+ document preferences to the file. The <app>Modelines</app> plugin supports a
+ subset of the options used by the <app>Emacs</app>, <app>Kate</app> and
+ <app>Vim</app> text editors.</p>
+
+ <p>To enable the <app>Modelines</app> plugin, select <guiseq><gui style="menu">gedit</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui><gui>Plugins</gui><gui>Modelines</gui></guiseq>.</p>
