💖 l3afpad(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to l3afpad — the manual page, the lore, the whole vibe. this page is from the l3afpad manual, dated 2021-10-12, and it's giving "tiny editor, big heart." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

l3afpad — a GTK+ based simple text editor. that's it, that's the name, short and iconic 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so l3afpad is a simple text editor built on GTK+. the user interface is similar to Windows(tm) notepad — yes, that notepad, the one everybody's grandma knows. and the whole goal here? it aims to be lighter than GEdit and KWrite, while still being as useful as them. like, skinny but competent. main character energy fr fr 💅

WARNING: the encoding feature is derived from built-in Glib's iconv feature (g_convert), which you can check with the command "iconv -l". Leafpad can use only the listed encoding. any other encoding cause serious data loss. 😭 not a drill, bestie — stay in the list, do not freestyle your encodings, that's how you lose your data. periodt.
