    <title>Editor command</title>
    <p>The name of the command to run to open text files in an external editor.
       This may be just the command (e.g., <cmd>gedit</cmd>) in which case the
       file to be opened will be passed as the last argument. Alternatively,
       you can add <code>{file}</code> and <code>{line}</code> elements to the
       command, in which case <app>Meld</app> will substitute the file path and
       current line number respectively (e.g., <cmd>gedit {file}:{line}</cmd>).
