Description

WordGrinder is a simple, Unicode-aware word processor that runs on the console. It's designed to get the hell out of your way and let you write; it does very little, but what it does it does well. It supports basic paragraph styles, basic character styles, basic screen markup, a menu interface that means you don't have to remember complex key sequences, HTML import and export, and some other useful features. WordGrinder does not require X. It runs in a terminal. (But there's a version which uses X if you want it.)
