+DESCRIPTION                                             *snipMate-description*
+
+snipMate.vim implements some of TextMate's snippets features in Vim. A
+snippet is a piece of often-typed text that you can insert into your
+document using a trigger word followed by a <tab>.
+
+For instance, in a C file using the default installation of snipMate.vim, if
+you type "for<tab>" in insert mode, it will expand a typical for loop in C: >
+
+ for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
+
+ }
+
+
+To go to the next item in the loop, simply <tab> over to it; if there is
+repeated code, such as the "i" variable in this example, you can simply
+start typing once it's highlighted and all the matches specified in the
+snippet will be updated. To go in reverse, use <shift-tab>.
+
+==============================================================================
+SYNTAX                                                        *snippet-syntax*
+
+Snippets can be defined in two ways. They can be in their own file, named
+after their trigger in 'snippets/<filetype>/<trigger>.snippet', or they can be
+defined together in a 'snippets/<filetype>.snippets' file. Note that dotted
+'filetype' syntax is supported -- e.g., you can use >
+
+	:set ft=html.eruby
+
+to activate snippets for both HTML and eRuby for the current file.
+
+The syntax for snippets in *.snippets files is the following: >
+
+ snippet trigger
+ 	expanded text
+	more expanded text
+
+Note that the first hard tab after the snippet trigger is required, and not
+expanded in the actual snippet. The syntax for *.snippet files is the same,
+only without the trigger declaration and starting indentation.
+
+Also note that snippets must be defined using hard tabs. They can be expanded
+to spaces later if desired (see |snipMate-indenting|).
+
+"#" is used as a line-comment character in *.snippets files; however, they can
+only be used outside of a snippet declaration. E.g.: >
+
+ # this is a correct comment
+ snippet trigger
+ 	expanded text
+ snippet another_trigger
+ 	# this isn't a comment!
+	expanded text
+<
+This should hopefully be obvious with the included syntax highlighting.
+
+                                                               *snipMate-${#}*
+Tab stops ~
+
+By default, the cursor is placed at the end of a snippet. To specify where the
+cursor is to be placed next, use "${#}", where the # is the number of the tab
+stop. E.g., to place the cursor first on the id of a <div> tag, and then allow
+the user to press <tab> to go to the middle of it:
+ >
+ snippet div
+ 	<div id="${1}">
+		${2}
+	</div>
+<
+                        *snipMate-placeholders* *snipMate-${#:}* *snipMate-$#*
+Placeholders ~
+
+Placeholder text can be supplied using "${#:text}", where # is the number of
+the tab stop. This text then can be copied throughout the snippet using "$#",
+given # is the same number as used before. So, to make a C for loop: >
+
+ snippet for
+ 	for (${2:i}; $2 < ${1:count}; $1++) {
+		${4}
+	}
+
+This will cause "count" to first be selected and change if the user starts
+typing. When <tab> is pressed, the "i" in ${2}'s position will be selected;
+all $2 variables will default to "i" and automatically be updated if the user
+starts typing.
+NOTE: "$#" syntax is used only for variables, not for tab stops as in TextMate.
+
+Variables within variables are also possible. For instance: >
+
+ snippet opt
+ 	<option value="${1:option}">${2:$1}</option>
+
+Will, as usual, cause "option" to first be selected and update all the $1
+variables if the user starts typing. Since one of these variables is inside of
+${2}, this text will then be used as a placeholder for the next tab stop,
+allowing the user to change it if he wishes.
+
+To copy a value throughout a snippet without supplying default text, simply
+use the "${#:}" construct without the text; e.g.: >
+
+ snippet foo
+ 	${1:}bar$1
+<                                                          *snipMate-commands*
+Interpolated Vim Script ~
+
+Snippets can also contain Vim script commands that are executed (via |eval()|)
+when the snippet is inserted. Commands are given inside backticks (`...`); for
+TextMates's functionality, use the |system()| function. E.g.: >
+
+ snippet date
+ 	`system("date +%Y-%m-%d")`
+
+will insert the current date, assuming you are on a Unix system. Note that you
+can also (and should) use |strftime()| for this example.
+
+Filename([{expr}] [, {defaultText}])             *snipMate-filename* *Filename()*
+
+Since the current filename is used often in snippets, a default function
+has been defined for it in snipMate.vim, appropriately called Filename().
+
+With no arguments, the default filename without an extension is returned;
+the first argument specifies what to place before or after the filename,
+and the second argument supplies the default text to be used if the file
+has not been named. "$1" in the first argument is replaced with the filename;
+if you only want the filename to be returned, the first argument can be left
+blank. Examples: >
+
+ snippet filename
+ 	`Filename()`
+ snippet filename_with_default
+ 	`Filename('', 'name')`
+ snippet filename_foo
+ 	`filename('$1_foo')`
+
+The first example returns the filename if it the file has been named, and an
+empty string if it hasn't. The second returns the filename if it's been named,
+and "name" if it hasn't. The third returns the filename followed by "_foo" if
+it has been named, and an empty string if it hasn't.
+
+                                                                   *multi_snip*
+To specify that a snippet can have multiple matches in a *.snippets file, use
+this syntax: >
+
+ snippet trigger A description of snippet #1
+ 	expand this text
+ snippet trigger A description of snippet #2
+ 	expand THIS text!
+
+In this example, when "trigger<tab>" is typed, a numbered menu containing all
+of the descriptions of the "trigger" will be shown; when the user presses the
+corresponding number, that snippet will then be expanded.
+
+To create a snippet with multiple matches using *.snippet files,
+simply place all the snippets in a subdirectory with the trigger name:
+'snippets/<filetype>/<trigger>/<name>.snippet'.
+
+==============================================================================
+USAGE                                                         *snipMate-usage*
+
+                                                 *'snippets'* *g:snippets_dir*
+Snippets are by default looked for any 'snippets' directory in your
+'runtimepath'. Typically, it is located at '~/.vim/snippets/' on *nix or
+'$HOME\vimfiles\snippets\' on Windows. To change that location or add another
+one, change the g:snippets_dir variable in your |.vimrc| to your preferred
+directory, or use the |ExtractSnips()|function. This will be used by the
+|globpath()| function, and so accepts the same syntax as it (e.g.,
+comma-separated paths).
+
+ExtractSnipsFile({directory}, {filetype})     *ExtractSnipsFile()* *.snippets*
+
+ExtractSnipsFile() extracts the specified *.snippets file for the given
+filetype. A .snippets file contains multiple snippet declarations for the
+filetype. It is further explained above, in |snippet-syntax|.
+
+ExtractSnips({directory}, {filetype})             *ExtractSnips()* *.snippet*
+
+ExtractSnips() extracts *.snippet files from the specified directory and
+defines them as snippets for the given filetype. The directory tree should
+look like this: 'snippets/<filetype>/<trigger>.snippet'. If the snippet has
+multiple matches, it should look like this:
+'snippets/<filetype>/<trigger>/<name>.snippet' (see |multi_snip|).
+
+                                                            *ResetSnippets()*
+The ResetSnippets() function removes all snippets from memory. This is useful
+to put at the top of a snippet setup file for if you would like to |:source|
+it multiple times.
+
+                                             *list-snippets* *i_CTRL-R_<Tab>*
+If you would like to see what snippets are available, simply type <c-r><tab>
+in the current buffer to show a list via |popupmenu-completion|.
+
+==============================================================================
+SETTINGS                                  *snipMate-settings* *g:snips_author*
+
+The g:snips_author string (similar to $TM_FULLNAME in TextMate) should be set
+to your name; it can then be used in snippets to automatically add it. E.g.: >
+
+ let g:snips_author = 'Hubert Farnsworth'
+ snippet name
+ 	`g:snips_author`
+<
+                                     *snipMate-expandtab* *snipMate-indenting*
+If you would like your snippets to be expanded using spaces instead of tabs,
+just enable 'expandtab' and set 'softtabstop' to your preferred amount of
+spaces. If 'softtabstop' is not set, 'shiftwidth' is used instead.
+
+                                                              *snipMate-remap*
+snipMate does not come with a setting to customize the trigger key, but you
+can remap it easily in the two lines it's defined in the 'after' directory
+under 'plugin/snipMate.vim'. For instance, to change the trigger key
+to CTRL-J, just change this: >
+
+ ino <tab> <c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr>
+ snor <tab> <esc>i<right><c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr>
+
+to this: >
+ ino <c-j> <c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr>
+ snor <c-j> <esc>i<right><c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr>
+
+==============================================================================
+FEATURES                                                   *snipMate-features*
+
+snipMate.vim has the following features among others:
+  - The syntax of snippets is very similar to TextMate's, allowing
+    easy conversion.
+  - The position of the snippet is kept transparently (i.e. it does not use
+    markers/placeholders written to the buffer), which allows you to escape
+    out of an incomplete snippet, something particularly useful in Vim.
+  - Variables in snippets are updated as-you-type.
+  - Snippets can have multiple matches.
+  - Snippets can be out of order. For instance, in a do...while loop, the
+    condition can be added before the code.
+  - [New] File-based snippets are supported.
+  - [New] Triggers after non-word delimiters are expanded, e.g. "foo"
+    in "bar.foo".
+  - [New] <shift-tab> can now be used to jump tab stops in reverse order.
+
+==============================================================================
+DISADVANTAGES                                         *snipMate-disadvantages*
+
+snipMate.vim currently has the following disadvantages to TextMate's snippets:
+    - There is no $0; the order of tab stops must be explicitly stated.
+    - Placeholders within placeholders are not possible. E.g.: >
+
+      '<div${1: id="${2:some_id}}">${3}</div>'
+<
+      In TextMate this would first highlight ' id="some_id"', and if
+      you hit delete it would automatically skip ${2} and go to ${3}
+      on the next <tab>, but if you didn't delete it it would highlight
+      "some_id" first. You cannot do this in snipMate.vim.
+    - Regex cannot be performed on variables, such as "${1/.*/\U&}"
+    - Placeholders cannot span multiple lines.
+    - Activating snippets in different scopes of the same file is
+      not possible.
+
+Perhaps some of these features will be added in a later release.
