The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use - Viewing Text Dealing with textual matter is the meat of Linux (and of most computing), so there are going to be many chapters about the various aspects of text. This first chapter in this part of the book shows how to view text on your display screen. There are many ways to view or otherwise output text. Some kinds of files -- such as PostScript, DVI, and PDF files -- often contain text in them, but they are technically not text files. NOTE: To learn how to browse files and their contents in a Web browser, see Browsing Files. Perusing Text: Perusing text on the display.
