Sorry, but I do not understand the meaning of your words:
"universe of discourse"
"entity goals"
And I am confused by this sentences:
"A significant number of which mention Kate *or* Kwrite *or* Katepart."
"In a discussion of "regular expressions", does it matter which of those
packages is referred to?"
Maybe I need more sleep. Apologies. I hope someone understands and can
answer your questions.
I think there is a universal human desire to try to avoid looking stupid.
I wonder sometimes if people are afraid that asking a simple question will
make them look stupid.
This can then lead to questions with extra layers of pontification and
obfuscation and passive voice and intransigence and XY questions.
The problem with this is that it just makes it so much more difficult to
help, and generates long confusing threads, and wading through all this is
a less pleasant experience for everyone than just answering a simple
question.
I can "sorta" generally accept those three paragraphs.
The question could have been something like: "I want to learn about using
regular expressions for manual text editing. I'm thinking to use Kate,
Kwrite or KatePart. Does it matter which of those I use?"
That does *NOT* express *MY* question!!!
Answer: No.
That answer is demonstrably *WRONG* for at least two reasons:
1. Both Kate and Kwrite exist for a reason.
"What reason" is left as an exercise for the student ;}
2. Is KatePart used by *any* editor other than Kate and Kwrite?
Other responses to my question quoted documentation addressing
an editing project that could take advantage of using "regular expressions".
I had already seen some but not all of the references.
I'm still interested in
a _single_ document that made comparison between/among Kate, Kwrite
and Katepart.
Thanks to all who responded.
