+Highlighting matching parens			*matchparen*
+
+The functionality mentioned here is a |standard-plugin|.
+This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set.
+
+You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_matchparen" variable: >
+	:let loaded_matchparen = 1
+
+The plugin installs CursorMoved, CursorMovedI and WinEnter autocommands to
+redefine the match highlighting.
+
+					*:NoMatchParen* *:DoMatchParen*
+To disable the plugin after it was loaded use this command: >
+
+	:NoMatchParen
+
+And to enable it again: >
+
+	:DoMatchParen
+
+The highlighting used is MatchParen.  You can specify different colors with
+the ":highlight" command.  Example: >
+
+	:hi MatchParen ctermbg=blue guibg=lightblue
+
+The characters to be matched come from the 'matchpairs' option.  You can
+change the value to highlight different matches.  Note that not everything is
+possible.  For example, you can't highlight single or double quotes, because
+the start and end are equal.
+
+The syntax highlighting attributes are used.  When the cursor currently is not
+in a string or comment syntax item, then matches inside string and comment
+syntax items are ignored.  Any syntax items with "string" or "comment"
+somewhere in their name are considered string or comment items.
+
+The search is limited to avoid a delay when moving the cursor.  The limits
+are:
+- What is visible in the window.
+- 100 lines above or below the cursor to avoid a long delay when there are
+  closed folds.
+- 'synmaxcol' times 2 bytes before or after the cursor to avoid a delay
+  in a long line with syntax highlighting.
+- A timeout of 300 msec (60 msec in Insert mode). This can be changed with the
+  g:matchparen_timeout and g:matchparen_insert_timeout variables and their
+  buffer-local equivalents b:matchparen_timeout and
+  b:matchparen_insert_timeout.
+
+If you would like the |%| command to work better, the matchit plugin can be
+used, see |matchit-install|.  This plugin also helps to skip matches in
+comments.  This is unrelated to the matchparen highlighting, they use a
+different mechanism.
