I'll note that a "based-on" editor called Mousepad is available in current stable and testing, and a "forked from" editor called l3afpad is available in current testing. Neither of those addresses the original question about a manual, though, unless one of them happens to come with it in e.g. /usr/share/docs/[packagename]. I do see that the listed homepage for Mousepad is https://docs.xfce.org/apps/mousepad/start, and that seems to be documentationary, although it's not clear whether it'd be in-depth enough for what was requested. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
