+The commands which have been added to use multiple tab pages are explained

+
+==============================================================================
+1. Introduction *tab-page-intro*
+
+A tab page holds one or more windows. You can easily switch between tab
+pages, so that you have several collections of windows to work on different
+things.
+
+Usually you will see a list of labels at the top of the Vim window, one for
+each tab page. With the mouse you can click on the label to jump to that tab
+page. There are other ways to move between tab pages, see below.
+
+Most commands work only in the current tab page. That includes the |CTRL-W|
+commands, |:windo|, |:all| and |:ball|. The commands that are aware of
+other tab pages than the current one are mentioned below.
+
+Tabs are also a nice way to edit a buffer temporarily without changing the
+current window layout. Open a new tab page, do whatever you want to do and
+close the tab page.
+
+==============================================================================
+2. Commands *tab-page-commands*
+
+OPENING A NEW TAB PAGE:
+
+When starting Vim "vim -p filename ..." opens each file argument in a separate
+tab page (up to 10). |-p|
+
+:tabe[dit] *:tabe* *:tabedit*
+:tabn[ew] Open a new tab page with an empty window.
+
+:tabe[dit] [++opt] [+cmd] {file}
+:tabn[ew] [++opt] [+cmd] {file}
+ Open a new tab page and edit {file}, like with |:edit|.
+
+:tabf[ind] [++opt] [+cmd] {file}
+ Open a new tab page and edit {file} in 'path', like with
+ |:find|.
+ {not available when the |+file_in_path| feature was disabled
+ at compile time}
+
+
+CLOSING A TAB PAGE:
+
+Using |:close| in the last window of a tab page closes it.
+
+Using the mouse: If the tab page line is displayed you can click in the "X" at
+the top right to close the current tab page. |'tabline'|
+
+ *:tabc* *:tabclose*
+:tabc[lose][!] Close current tab page.
+ This command fails when:
+ - There is only one tab page on the screen. *E784*
+ - When 'hidden' is not set, [!] is not used, a buffer has
+ changes, and there is no other window on this buffer.
+ Changes to the buffer are not written and won't get lost, so
+ this is a "safe" command.
+
+:tabc[lose][!] {count}
+ Close tab page {count}. Fails in the same way as ':tabclose"
+ above.
+
+ *:tabo* *:tabonly*
+:tabo[nly][!] Close all other tab pages.
+ When the 'hidden' option is set, all buffers in closed windows
+ become hidden.
+ When 'hidden' is not set, and the 'autowrite' option is set,
+ modified buffers are written. Otherwise, windows that have
+ buffers that are modified are not removed, unless the [!] is
+ given, then they become hidden. But modified buffers are
+ never abandoned, so changes cannot get lost.
+
+
+SWITCHING TO ANOTHER TAB PAGE:
+
+Using the mouse: If the tab page line is displayed you can click in a tab page
+label to switch to that tab page. |'tabline'|
+
+:tab *:tab* *gt*
+gt Go to the next tab page. Wraps around from the last to the
+ first one.
+
+:tab {count}
+{count}gt Go to tab page {count}. The first tab page has number one.
+
+
+Other commands:
+ *:tabs*
+:tabs List the tab pages and the windows they contain. Shows a "+"
+ for modified buffers.
+
+==============================================================================
+3. Other items *tab-page-other*
+
+You can use the 'tabline' option to specify when you want the line with tab
+page labels to appear: never, when there is more than one tab page or always.
+
+Diff mode works per tab page. You can see the diffs between several files
+within one tab page. Other tab pages can show differences between other
+files.
+
+The TabLeavePre and TabEnterPost autocommand events can be used to do
+something when switching from one tab page to another.
