+INTRODUCTION *airline-intro*
+
+vim-airline is a fast and lightweight alternative to powerline, written
+in 100% vimscript with no outside dependencies.
+
+==============================================================================
+FEATURES *airline-features*
+
+* tiny core written with extensibility in mind.
+* integrates with many popular plugins.
+* looks good with regular fonts, and provides configuration points so you
+ can use unicode or powerline symbols.
+* optimized for speed; it loads in under a millisecond.
+* fully customizable; if you know a little 'statusline' syntax you can
+ tweak it to your needs.
+* extremely easy to write themes.
+
+==============================================================================
+NAME *airline-name*
+
+Where did the name come from?
+
+I wrote this on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a
+good name :-)
+
+==============================================================================
+CONFIGURATION *airline-configuration*
+
+There are a couple configuration values available (shown with their default
+values):
+
+* the separator used on the left side >
+ let g:airline_left_sep='>'
+<
+* the separator used on the right side >
+ let g:airline_right_sep='<'
+<
+* enable modified detection >

+* themes are automatically selected based on the matching colorscheme. this
+ can be overridden by defining a value. >
+ let g:airline_theme=

+ let g:airline_theme_patch_func = 'AirlineThemePatch'
+ function! AirlineThemePatch(palette)
+ if g:airline_theme == 'badwolf'
+ for colors in values(a:palette.inactive)
+ let colors[3] = 245
+ endfor
+ endif
+ endfunction
+<

+==============================================================================
+COMMANDS *airline-commands*
+
+:AirlineTheme {theme-name} *:AirlineTheme*
+ Displays or changes the current theme.
+
+:AirlineToggleWhitespace *:AirlineToggleWhitespace*
+ Toggles whitespace detection.
+
+:AirlineToggle *:AirlineToggle*
+ Toggles between the standard 'statusline' and airline.
+
+:AirlineRefresh *:AirlineRefresh*
+ Refreshes all highlight groups.
+
+==============================================================================
+CUSTOMIZATION *airline-customization*
+
+The following are some unicode symbols for customizing the left/right
+separators, as well as the powerline font glyths.
+
+Note: You must define the dictionary first before setting values. Also, it's a
+good idea to check whether if it exists as to avoid accidentally overwritting
+its contents. >
+ if !exists('g:airline_symbols')
+ let g:airline_symbols = {}

+
+For more intricate customizations, you can replace the predefined sections
+with the usual statusline syntax.
+
+Note: If you define any section variables it will replace the default values
+entirely. If you want to disable only certain parts of a section you can try
+using variables defined in the |airline-configuration| or |airline-extensions|
+section.

+==============================================================================
+EXTENSIONS *airline-extensions*
+
+Most extensions are enabled by default and lazily loaded when the
+corresponding plugin (if any) is detected.
+
+By default, airline will attempt to load any extension it can find in the
+'runtimepath'. On some systems this can result in an undersirable startup
+cost. You can disable the check with the following flag. >
+ let g:airline#extensions#disable_rtp_load = 1
+<
+ Note: Third party plugins that rely on this behavior will be affected. You
+ will need to manually load them.
+
+------------------------------------- *airline-default*
+The default extension understands all of the `g:` variables in the
+|airline-configuration| section, however it also has some more fine-tuned
+configuration values that you can use.

+==============================================================================
+ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION *airline-advanced-customization*
+
+The defaults will accomodate the mass majority of users with minimal
+configuration. However, if you want to reposition sections or contents you can
+do so with built-in helper functions, which makes it possible to create
+sections in a more declarative style.
+
+------------------------------------- *airline-parts*
+A part is something that contains metadata that eventually gets rendered into
+the statusline. You can define parts that contain constant strings or
+functions. Defining parts is needed if you want to use features like automatic
+insertion of separators or hiding based on window width.
+
+For example, this is how you would define a part function: >
+ call airline#parts#define_function('foo', 'GetFooText')
+<
+Here is how you would define a part that is visible only if the window width
+greater than a minimum width. >
+ call airline#parts#define_minwidth('foo', 50)
+<
+Parts can be configured to be visible conditionally. >
+ call airline#parts#define_condition('foo', 'getcwd() =~ "work_dir"')
+<
+Note: Part definitions are combinative; e.g. the two examples above modify the
+same `foo` part.
+
+Note: Look at the source code and tests for the full API.
+
+------------------------------------- *airline-predefined-parts*
+Before is a list of parts that are predefined by vim-airline.
+
+* `mode` displays the current mode
+* `iminsert` displays the current insert method
+* `paste` displays the paste indicator
+* `filetype` displays the file type
+* `readonly` displays the read only indicator
+* `file` displays the filename and modified indicator
+* `ffenc` displays the file format and encoding
+
+And the following are defined for their respective extensions:
+
+`hunks`, `branch`, `tagbar`, `syntastic`, `whitespace`
+
+------------------------------------- *airline-accents*
+Accents can be defined on any part, like so: >
+ call airline#parts#define_accent('foo', 'red')
+<
+This will override the colors of that part by using what is defined in that
+particular accent. In the above example, the `red` accent is used, which means
+regardless of which section the part is used in, it will have red foreground
+colors instead of the section's default foreground color.
+
+The following accents are defined by default. Themes can define their variants
+of the colors, but defaults will be provided if missing. >
+ bold, italic, red, green, blue, yellow, orange, purple
+<
+The defaults configure the mode and line number parts to be bold, and the
+readonly part to be red.
+
+------------------------------------- *airline-sections*
+Once a part is defined, you can use helper functions to generate the
+statuslines for each section. For example, to use the part above, we could
+define a section like this: >
+ function! AirlineInit()
+ let g:airline_section_a = airline#section#create(['mode', ' ', 'foo'])
+ let g:airline_section_b = airline#section#create_left(['ffenc','file'])
+ let g:airline_section_c = airline#section#create(['%{getcwd()}'])
+ endfunction
+ autocmd VimEnter * call AirlineInit()
+<
+This will create a section with the `mode`, followed by a space, and our `foo`
+part in section `a`. Section `b` will have two parts with a left-side
+separator. And section `c` will contain the current path. You may notice that
+the space and cwd are not defined parts. For convenience, if a part of that
+key does not exist, it will be inserted as is. The unit tests will be a good
+resource for possibilities.
+
+Note: The use of |VimEnter| is important, because most extensions are lazily
+loaded, so we must give them a chance to define their parts before we can use
+them.
+
+Note: The `airline#section#create` function and friends will do its best to
+create a section with the appropriate separators, but it only works for
+function and text parts. Special 'statusline' items like %f or raw/undefined
+parts will not work as it is not possible to inspect their widths/contents
+before rendering to the statusline.
+
+==============================================================================
+FUNCREFS *airline-funcrefs*
+
+vim-airline internally uses funcrefs to integrate with third party plugins,
+and you can tap into this functionality to extend it for you needs. This is
+the most powerful way to customize the statusline, and sometimes it may be
+easier to go this route than the above methods.
+
+Every section can have two values. The default value is the global `g:`
+variable which is used in the absense of a `w:` value. This makes it very easy
+to override only certain parts of the statusline by only defining window-local
+variables for a subset of all sections.
+
+------------------------------------- *add_statusline_func*
+The following is an example of how you can extend vim-airline to support a
+new plugin. >
+ function! MyPlugin(...)
+ if &filetype == 'MyPluginFileType'
+ let w:airline_section_a = 'MyPlugin'
+ let w:airline_section_b = '%f'
+ let w:airline_section_c = '%{MyPlugin#function()}'
+ let g:airline_variable_referenced_in_statusline = 'foo'
+ endif
+ endfunction
+ call airline#add_statusline_func('MyPlugin')
+<
+Notice that only the left side of the statusline is overwritten. This means
+the right side (the line/column numbers, etc) will be intact.
+
+------------------------------------- *remove_statusline_func*
+You can also remove a function as well, which is useful for when you want a
+temporary override. >
+ call airline#remove_statusline_func('MyPlugin')
+<
+
+==============================================================================
+PIPELINE *airline-pipeline*
+
+Sometimes you want to do more than just use overrides. The statusline funcref
+is invoked and passed two arguments. The first of these arguments is the
+statusline builder. You can use this to build completely custom statuslines
+to your liking. Here is an example: >
+>
+ function! MyPlugin(...)
+ " first variable is the statusline builder
+ let builder = a:1
+
+ " WARNING: the API for the builder is not finalized and may change
+ call builder.add_section('Normal', '%f')
+ call builder.add_section('WarningMsg', '%{getcwd()}')
+ call builder.split()

+The above example uses various example highlight groups to demonstrate
+that you can use any combination from the loaded colorscheme. However, if
+you want colors to change between modes, you should use one of the section
+highlight groups, e.g. `airline_a` and `airline_b`.
+
+The second variable is the context, which is a dictionary containing various
+values such as whether the statusline is active or not, and the window number.

+ context = {
+ 'winnr': 'the window number for the statusline',
+ 'active': 'whether the window is active or not',
+ 'bufnr': 'the current buffer for this window',
+ }

+------------------------------------- *airline-pipeline-return-codes*
+The pipeline accepts various return codes and can be used to determine the
+next action. The following are the supported codes: >
+ 0 the default, continue on with the next funcref
+ -1 do not modify the statusline
+ 1 modify the statusline with the current contents of the builder
+<
+Note: Any value other than 0 will halt the pipeline and prevent the next
+funcref from executing.

+==============================================================================
+WRITING EXTENSIONS *airline-writing-extensions*
+
+For contributions into the plugin, here are the following guidelines:
+
+1. For simple 'filetype' checks, they can be added directly into the
+`extensions.vim` file.
+
+2. Pretty much everything else should live as a separate file under the
+`extensions/` directory.
+
+ a. Inside `extensions.vim`, add a check for some variable or command that
+ is always available (these must be defined in `plugin/`, and _not_
+ `autoload/` of the other plugin). If it exists, then initialize the
+ extension. This ensures that the extension is loaded if and only if the
+ user has the other plugin installed. Also, a check to
+ `airline#extensions#foo_plugin#enabled` should be performed to allow the
+ user to disable it.
+
+ b. Configuration variables for the extension should reside in the
+ extension, e.g. `g:airline#extensions#foo_plugin#bar_variable`.
+
+See the source of |example.vim| for documented code of how to write one.
+Looking at the other extensions is also a good resource.
+
+==============================================================================
+WRITING THEMES *airline-themes*
+
+Themes are written "close to the metal" -- you will need to know some basic
+VimL syntax to write a theme, but if you've written in any programming
+language before it will be easy to pick up.
+
+The |dark.vim| theme fully documents this procedure and will guide you through
+the process. The |jellybeans.vim| theme is another example of how to write a
+theme, but instead of manually declaring colors, it extracts the values from
+highlight groups.
+
+==============================================================================
+TROUBLESHOOTING *airline-troubleshooting*
+
+Q. There are no colors.
+A. You need to set up your terminal correctly. For more details, see
+ <http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim>. Alternatively, if you want
+ to bypass the automatic detection of terminal colors, you can force Vim
+ into 256 color mode with this: >
+ set t_Co=256
+<
+Q. The statusline does not appear until I create a split.
+A. This is the default setting of 'laststatus'. If you want it to appear all
+ the time, add the following to your vimrc: >
+ set laststatus=2
+<
+Q. Powerline symbols are not showing up.
+A. First, you must install patched powerline fonts. Second, you must enable
+ unicode in vim. >
+ set encoding=utf-8
+<
+Q. There is a pause when leaving insert mode.
+A. Add the following to your vimrc. >
+ set ttimeoutlen=50
+<
+Q. The colors look a little off for some themes.
+A. Certain themes are derived from the active colorscheme by extracting colors
+ from predefined highlight groups. These airline themes will look good for
+ their intended matching colorschemes, but will be hit or miss when loaded
+ with other colorschemes.
