<h1>Documentation</h1>
<p>
The most useful software is sometimes rendered useless by poor or
altogether missing documentation. Vim refuses to succumb to death by
underdocumentation. With a book to extensive help files to a tips
archive, all audiences should be pleased.
</p>
<h1>Help Files</h1>
<p>
Vim's online documentation system, accessible via the <tt>:help</tt>
command, is an extensive cross-referenced and hyperlinked reference.
It's kept up-to-date with the software and can answer almost any
question about Vim's functionality. The
<a href='http://vimdoc.sf.net/'>VimDoc</a> project maintains an online,
hyperlinked copy of the documentation.
</p>
<p>
A new on-line version of the help can be found on
<a href='http://vimhelp.appspot.com/'>appspot</a>.
This is maintained by Carlo Teubner.
</p>
<p>
For translations of the help files see the
<a href="translations.php">translation page</a>.
</p>
<h1>The Books</h1>
<p>
Steve Oualline wrote the first book completely dedicated to Vim.
It's written for Vim 5.7, but it is still a useful introduction to any
modern version of Vim.
The book is also available
<a href="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/doc/book/vimbook-OPL.pdf">as a PDF</a>
(converted from a HTML version that is no longer available).
<br> <br>
There are four more books about Vim.
More information on
<a href='http://iccf-holland.org/click5.html'>this page</a>.
If you buy a copy through here this helps us help the
<a href='http://iccf-holland.org/index.html'>Ugandan orphans</a>.
<br>
And now, for something completely different: Vim books in Japanese!
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4774120189">Vim完全バイブル</a> and
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/3826615891">vim Ge-Packt</a>
<br> <br>
There is also a wiki book: <a href="http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Vim_en:Table_of_Contents">A Byte Of Vim</a>.
You can download it as PDF or read it online.
And you can edit it. Or get the on-demand printed version.
</p>
<h1>The FAQ</h1>
<p>
A manual is great for reference, but voluminous reference materials
aren't always the easiest way to locate answers to your questions.
We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions, along with good
answers. You can find the <a
href='http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/vimfaq.html'>FAQ</a> at the
VimDoc project.
</p>
<h1>Tips</h1>
<p>
Finding an answer is even harder if you don't know that you have a
question. The vim.org <a href='tips/index.php'>tips archive</a> contains a seemingly
endless supply of hints on making your vim use a more pleasant experience. The
tip archive is also a great way to find quick hacks to perform common
tasks.
</p>
<p>
You can also watch videos. You can find them with
<a href="http://www.google.ch/search?q=site%3Awww.vimeo.com+vim+screencast+on+vimeo">Google search</a>.
</p>
<h1>Other Documentation</h1>
<p>
There are plenty of other sources of Vim documentation. We've got a <a
href='web.php'>partial list</a> of them, but <a
href='http://www.google.com/'>Google</a> is another great way to find
obscure documentation.
