           Summary: wish: plain text backend
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.10.4
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: New backend wishes
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: giecrilj at stegny.2a.pl


Version:           0.10.4 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Plain text files are usually open in KWrite.  However, KWrite opens the file
for editing, and the size of a file that can be edited is limited (Bug 250617).
 So it would be useful to have a viewer that is capable of displaying text
files of any size.  GNU 'less' is one such viewer, using character mode
interface; however, no equivalent action exists in KDE (Bug 261925).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Tell Okular to open a text file.

Actual Results:  
  1. Not supported.

Expected Results:  
  1. 
Okular displays the file without reading it all into RAM (which is not
possible) and allows searching for text within it.
Backspace for boldening and underlining should be supported.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop
Compiler: gcc
