 In a following version of Vim the "Q" command will be made Vi compatible.  Use
 "gq" for formatting text.

+Using <> notation in autocommands			*autocmd-<>*
+=================================
+
+The <> notation is not recognized in the argument for :autocmd.  To avoid
+having to use special characters, you could use a mapping to get the <>
+notation and then call the mapping from the autocmd.  Example:
+
+							*buffer-menu*
+"
+" This is for automatically adding the name of the file to the menu list
+" first we use the normal mode to convert the 'dots' in the filename to
+" \., store that in register '"' and then add that name to the Buffers menu
+" list.  WARNING: this does have some side effects, like overwriting the
+" current register contents.
