CLI Word Processing?

Is there a decent word processor for the command line? I mean opens rtf files spell checks, saves in .doc basically an abiword at the cli?

Not that I know of. I would suggest to use LaTeX.

Re: CLI Word Processing?

If you are, (which would be awesome) could you please give it the same controls (or similar) to nano?

@sirius: Don't even kid about that kind of stuff.

Hello, Google!

WP for Linux does exist - http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/apps/
I'm not sure if it's for X or cli...

Oh, just for fun and play :-)

For real work, even I use vim and LaTeX.

Re: CLI Word Processing?

You also may want to install vim-latexsuite from AUR. It is a great tool which I don't want to miss.

google? or even look in the aur yourself to see?
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25134

vim-latexsuite attempts to provide a comprehensive set of tools to view, edit and compile LaTeX documents in Vim. Together, they provide tools starting from macros to speed up editing LaTeX documents to functions for forward searching .dvi documents.

Re: CLI Word Processing?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, I all of a sudden remembered about this post. Anyway, I did use google. What I meant was, how does that really help? While writing in vim, I always limit it to 100 characters anyway, which is half a screen. The other half can be used for viewing. Additionally, when I use a document class I've made, I know how it's going to turn out, ergo I don't need to really see what it looks like, so I usually don't preview what I've made anyway.

And you can always access the command line through :sh or execute a command with :! So I was wondering if there were any real advantages to it. I guess not?

Re: CLI Word Processing?

Vim-latex also includes a lot of shortcuts for entering latex macros and environments. These can make editing LaTeX files a lot faster.

An even more powerful tool is AUCTeX for emacs. In addition to great syntax highlighting, it can also fold up macros (e.g., footnotes, emph, etc.) for a "clean," more word-processor like view of the text (if you're into that kind of thing).

This is built in in vim-latexsuite as well. It enables folding by default and vim is extremely flexible defining whre folds should go.

I'm aware of section folding.

But can vim-latex fold a footnote like this\footnote{Here is a footnote and imagine if this footnote ran on for several lines.} so that it looks like this or a bibtex citation\cite[10]{someauthor_book_2002} so that it looks like this?

But can vim-latex fold a footnote like this[f] so that it looks like this or a bibtex citation[c] so that it looks like this?

AUCTeX also nicely indents multi-line footnote text to set it off from the body text.

If there is a way to do this in vim-latex I'd love to know. Thanks.

This is awesome. smile
And, no, vim-latexsuite can't do this, as far as I know.

I use both, and vim fits me better. It is good to know, what is possible on either side. That's all.

No danger of another flame war here. I adore vim and emacs and use them both regularly. It's nice to find other users who feel the same way.

The only flame war I'll get drawn into here is if someone starts to praise MS Word. wink
