Ted is a lightweight free software word processor for the X Window System, and runs on Linux and other Unix-like systems. Developed primarily by Mark de Does, it's licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL-2.0-only), and has been translated into several languages.
While Ted is small in size, it is a full-featured and fast word processor, making it ideal for older computers and embedded systems.
It saves files in a Microsoft Word-compatible
rich text format
, and has support for headers, footers, tables, different fonts, text alignment, and other features common in word processors. The built-in spellchecker is not automatic, whereby incorrect words are not highlighted when typing.
Until version 2.17, Ted used the Motif toolkit exclusively for widget rendering.
GTK+
toolkit by default. It can still be built with Motif or LessTif, if desired.
The Ted package had been included in
Ubuntu up to Hardy Heron,[5][6] and Gentoo Linux, and is available from the official homepage in various package formats.[7]
