+ <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.
+ </p>

+ Once <app>gedit</app> launches, you can start writing right away. To save
+ your text, just click the <gui>Save</gui> button in the <app>gedit</app>
+ header bar.
