In an effort to have a suitable HTML format James James Bible I
discovered Kate. I've experimented with manually editing individual
chapters and found Kate particularly. Solving some OS issues has allowed
me to update to Kate 22.12.3 .
As there are ~1k chapters I'm going to explore macros. [had contact with
TECO in 70's so I've an idea of what I'm getting into ;]
I've gotten answers here to my specific questions, but I'm looking for
an active Kate focused user group whose discussion would stimulate
thought.
Here's what a quick browse turned up here, assuming you hadn't found it
yet:
https://kate-editor.org
Yes, I've been there. Don't consider it user-friendly. JavaScript
required to display site navigation menu. Due to vision and perception
problems I surf with JavaScript disabled. That I had visited
https://kate-editor.org/support/ back in July indicates I recognized the
problem.
... Seems to have a kate developer blog, and (under more, get help)
mentions a kwrite-devel list. (Yes the list name says devel but the page
says for users too.
At that time I looked at 3 months of history - very low volume and only
non developers were expert users. Looked at intervening history and
found only one newbie question - it got no response :{
FWIW kwrite is the somewhat simpler single-document-
interface version of the multi-document-interface kate -- they share
plugins/tools/etc and at least with the older versions I used in the past
The description in the Debian repository was attractive - just installed
it. I may be in its target audience. It will at least give me more
perspective.
(I prefer the script-and-macro-extensible TUI-based mc/midnight-commander/
mcedit, these days) work similarly when working on a single document, but
kwrite's GUI is simpler because it doesn't have the options to manage
multiple documents at the same time.)
There's also the #kate IRC channel if you're into such. (I'm not!)
Nor I ;}
(FWIW my discovery path was...
kde.org > top-menu develop button >
develop.kde.org > top KDE developer platform section >
Develop (tools and libraries) >
developer.kde.org/develop/ > Kate button >
kate-editor.org )
Thank you.
