kmdr-editor - editor for the Kommander visual dialog building tool

kmdr-editor [ generic-options ]

Kommander is a visual dialog building tool whose primary objective is to create as much functionality as possible without using any scripting language.

More specifically, Kommander is a set of tools that allow you to create dynamic GUI dialogs that generate, based on their state, a piece of text. The piece of text can be a command line to a program, any piece of code, business documents that contain a lot of repititious or templated text and so on. The resulting generated text can then be executed as a command line program (hence the name "Kommander"), written to a file, passed to a script for extended processing, and literally anything else you can think of. The best part of it all? You aren't required to write a single line of code!

This editor (kmdr-editor) allows you to lay out your entire dialog through a graphical user interface. Once a dialog has been created by the editor, it is saved as a file with extension .kmdr. The dialog that this XML file represents can then be run instantly with the executor (kmdr-executor).

This application is part of the official KDE web development module.
