+Tab pages *new-tab-pages*
+---------
+
+A tab page is page with one or more windows with a label (aka tab) at the top.
+By clicking on the label you can quickly switch between the tab pages. And
+with the keyboard, using the |gt| (Goto Tab) command. This is a convenient
+way to work with many windows.
+
+To start Vim with each file argument in a separate tab page use the |-p|
+argument. The maximum number of pages can be set with 'tabpagemax'.
+
+The line with tab labels is either made with plain text an highlighting or
+with a GUI mechanism. The GUI labels look better but are only available on a
+few systems. The line can be customized with 'tabline' and 'guitablabel'.
+Whether it is displayed is set with 'showtabline'. Whether to use the GUI
+labels is set with the "e" flag in 'guioptions'.
+
+The |:tab| command modifier can be used to have most commands that open a new
+window open a new tab instead.

+GUI: To avoid left-over pixels from bold text all characters after a character

+actually are bold. Speeds up displaying considerably.

+When only highlighting changes and the text is scrolled at the same time
