Package: jed
Severity: minor
The first line of the package description does not read smoothly. How
about changing:
 Jed is a small, fast (faster startup than bash) and powerful text editor.
to
 Jed is a small, fast and powerful text editor, yet starts faster than bash.
? (Note: the current version conflates two different sorts of speed:
speed of startup, and speed of operation. Jed is fast in both senses.)
In the "Editing functions" and "Tools" paragraphs, use comma not
semi-colon to separate the elements of the lists.
Add a paragraph break before "Modes for markup languages", or remove
the line break.
Some small things: "Gnome" -> "GNOME"; "Openoffice" -> "OpenOffice";
"incremenntal searches" -> "incremental search"; "SH" -> "sh"; "NROFF"
-> "nroff".
