+      Geany is a small and lightweight Integrated Development Environment.
+      It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages.
+      Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME.
+      Geany only requires the GTK2 runtime libraries.
+      Some basic features of Geany:
+      - Syntax highlighting
+      - Code folding
+      - Symbol name auto-completion
+      - Construct completion/snippets
+      - Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags
+      - Call tips
+      - Many supported filetypes including C, Java, PHP, HTML, Python, Perl, Pascal (full list)
+      - Symbol lists
+      - Code navigation
+      - Build system to compile and execute your code
+      - Simple project management
+      - Plugin interface
