By default, Startify hides these by skipping the +directories under `$VIMRUNTIME/doc` and `(bundle|plugged)/.*/doc`. + +This works for most use cases, but not for all. E.g. GUIs embed Vim and both +processes could have a different |$VIMRUNTIME|. + +If the default fails for you and the Startify buffer is cluttered with help +files, add that path to the skiplist yourself: |g:startify_skiplist|. + ============================================================================== EXAMPLE *startify-example*
