nano: Introduction

 
 1 Introduction
 **************
 
 GNU ‘nano’ is a small and friendly text editor.  Besides basic text
 editing, ‘nano’ offers many extra features, such as an interactive
 search-and-replace, undo/redo, syntax coloring, smooth scrolling,
 auto-indentation, go-to-line-and-column-number, feature toggles, file
 locking, backup files, and internationalization support.
 
    The original goal for ‘nano’ was to be a complete bug-for-bug
 emulation of Pico.  But currently the goal is to be as compatible as
 possible while offering a superset of Pico’s functionality.  SeePico
 Compatibility for more details on how ‘nano’ and Pico differ.
