All &kde; applications have +documentation in &XML; format, which are converted to +HTML when you view them. This section lists all the +&kde; applications with a brief description and a link to the full +application documentation. + + +The applications are displayed in a tree structure that echoes the default +structure of the K menu, making it easy to find the +application you are looking for. + + + + + +&UNIX; manual pages + + +&UNIX; man pages are the traditional on-line documentation format for +&UNIX; systems. Most programs on your system will have a man page. In +addition, man pages exist for programming functions and file +formats. + + + + + +Browse info pages + + +TeXinfo documentation is used by many &GNU; applications, +including gcc (the C/C++ compiler), +emacs, and many others. + + + + + +Tutorials + + +Short, task based or informational tutorials. + + + + + +The &kde; FAQ + + +Frequently asked questions about &kde;, and their answers. + + + + + +&kde; on the web + + +Links to &kde; on the web, both the official &kde; website, and other +useful sites. + + + + + +Contact Information + + +Information on how to contact &kde; developers, and how to join the +&kde; mailing lists. + + + + + +Supporting &kde; + + +How to help, and how to get involved. + + + + + + + + + + + +The <application>Man</application> and <application>Info</application> +sections + +Man pages are the standard &UNIX; manual pages, and have been in +use for many years on many operating systems. They are extremely +thorough, and are the very best place to get information about most +&UNIX; commands and applications. When people say +RTFM, the Manual they are referring to is very often the +man page. + +The man pages are not perfect. They tend to be in depth, but +also extremely technical, often written by developers, and for +developers. In some cases this makes them somewhat unfriendly, if not +downright impossible for many users to understand. They are, however, +the best source of solid information on most command line +applications, and very often the only source. + +If you've ever wondered what the number is when people write +things like man(1) it means which section of the manual the item is +in. You will see &khelpcenter; uses the numbers to divide the very many +man pages into their own sections, making it easier for you to find +the information you're looking for, if you're just browsing. + +Also available are the Info pages, intended to be a replacement +for the man pages. The maintainer of some applications no longer +update the man pages, so if there is both a man page and an info page +available, the info page is probably the most recent. Most +applications have one or the other though. If the application you are +looking for help on is a &GNU; utility, you will most likely find it +has an info page, not a man page. + + +Navigating inside the <application>Info</application> pages + +Info documents are arranged hierarchically with each page called +a node. All info documents have a Top node, +&ie; the opening page. You can return to the +Top of an info document by pressing +Top. + +Prev & Next +are used to move to the previous/next page at the current level of the +hierarchy. + +Clicking on a menu item within a document moves you to a lower +level in the hierarchy. You may move up the hierarchy by pressing +Up. + +Man is treated similarly to info, with the section index being +the Top node and each man page on the level below. Man entries are +one page long. + + + + + +The &kde; glossary + + +The glossary provides a quick reference point, where you can look up +the definitions of words that may be unfamiliar to you. These range +from &kde; specific applications and technologies, through to general +&UNIX; computing terms. + + + +In the left hand pane you will see a tree view, with two choices: +Alphabetically or By topic. +Both contain the same entries, sorted differently, to allow you to +quickly find the item of interest. + + + +Navigate down the tree views to the left, and items you select will be +displayed on the right. + + + + + +The menus and toolbar + + +&khelpcenter; has a very minimal interface, allowing you to concentrate +on getting help rather than learning how to use the help browser. + + + +The icons available to you in the toolbar are as follows: + + + +Toolbar Icons + + + +Back + +Go to the previous page you viewed. + + + + +Forward + +Go forward one page. This icon is only active if you have +already used the Back icon. + + + +Print + + +Print the contents of the currently visible page. + + + + + +Find + + +Find a word or words within the currently visible page. + + + + + +Increase Font + + +Increase the size of the text in the viewer pane. + + + + + +Decrease Font + + +Decrease the size of the text in the viewer pane.

In other words, &kde; is a +collection of programs, technologies and documentation that attempt to +make life easier for computer users. &kde; is targeted at &UNIX; +workstations. It features network transparency and a contemporary work +philosophy. + +The creators of the K Desktop Environment are a world-wide group of +software engineers. This group's major goal in free software development is to +provide high quality software that empowers the user with easy control of his +computer's resources. + +&kde; seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for +&UNIX; workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under +&MacOS; or &Windows; 95/NT. &kde; meets the requirement +of users for an easy to use work environment. Tools used to reach +this end are: enhanced inter-application communication, component +reuse, generalized drag and drop, uniform look and feel and many +more. Thus, &kde; offers much more than the traditional &UNIX; window +managers. + +Stability, scaleability and openness are qualities which have +made &UNIX; the undisputed choice for the information technology +professional for many years. &kde; builds on top of this excellent +base framework and brings new, much needed qualities: usability, user +friendliness and beauty! &kde; was the first, and stays the forefront +player in bringing these qualities to &UNIX;, which constituted for +years, the premier platform for server computers and scientific +institutions, but wasn't very attractive for desktop users. + +Without &UNIX; the Internet would not exist, or at least would +have a vastly different form. &UNIX; has not, until now, addressed the +needs of the average computer user. This fact is particularly +unfortunate, since a number of implementations of &UNIX; (&Linux;, FreeBSD, NetBSD, &etc;) are freely +available on the Internet, all of which are of exceptional quality and +stability. + + + + +&kde; The Desktop Environment + +In combination with a free implementation of &UNIX;, &kde; +provides to the world an open and completely free desktop computing +platform either at home or at work. + + This platform is available to anyone free of charge including +its source code for anyone to modify. + +While there will always be room for improvement we believe we +have now delivered a viable alternative to some of the more commonly +found and commercial operating systems/desktops combinations available +today. It is our hope that the combination of &UNIX; and &kde; will +finally bring the same open, reliable, stable, and monopoly free +computing to the average computer user that scientists and computing +professionals world-wide have enjoyed for years. + + + + +&kde; The Application Development Framework + +&kde; focuses on the user's needs, but it's obvious that this +focus is more easily achieved by also giving developers the best +tools. &kde; code contains, and comes with, some of the best +development technologies of the modern computing age. + +Authoring applications under &UNIX;/X11 used to be an extremely +tedious and labor intensive process. &kde; recognizes the fact that a +computing platform is only as good as the number of first class +applications available to the users of that particular +platform. + +&kde; defines new technologies in &DCOP; and KParts, created to +offer a component document model and technology. Together with the +complete &kde; libraries programming interface, &DCOP;/KParts are set +in direct competition with other similar technologies like &Microsoft; +MFC/COM/ActiveX technologies. The +excellent quality and the high level of refinement of &kde;'s +application programming interface (API) enables +developers to focus on original and interesting issues and avoid +reinventing the wheel. + + + + +&kde; The Office Application Suite + +In its current form, &kde; provides, apart from the essential desktop +component applications, a suite of powerful office programs known to the +world by the name &koffice;. + +&koffice; is based on the &kde; &DCOP;/KParts +technologies. It currently contains: a word processor with desktop +publishing capabilities (&kword;), a spreadsheet application (&kspread;) +and accompanying charting program (&kchart;), a presentation program +(&kpresenter;) and a vector drawing program (&kontour;). Tying things +together is the KOffice Workspace, an +integrated shell to ease the use of the &koffice; components in +conjunction with each other. Additional components include an email +client, a news reader, and a powerful PIM (Personal +Information Manager - an organizer). + +While some of those components are still in alpha development, +others are already extremely powerful. For example, &kpresenter;, +&kde;'s presentation application, was successfully used at the 5th +International &Linux; Congress in Cologne, Germany to deliver a &kde; +presentation. + +We would like to invite you to learn more about &kde; and &koffice;. + + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
