       Pluma - The MATE Text Editor

SYNOPSIS
       pluma [OPTIONS...] [FILES...]

DESCRIPTION
       Pluma  is  the  official	 text  editor of the MATE desktop environment.
       While aiming at simplicity and ease of use, Pluma is a powerful general
       purpose	text  editor.  It  can be used to create and edit all sorts of
       text files.

       Pluma features a flexible plugin system which can be  used  to  dynami‐
       cally add new advanced features to Pluma itself.

       This manual page briefly documents the pluma command.
