-:NERDTree [start-directory]                                 *:NERDTree*
-                Opens a fresh NERD tree in [start-directory] or the current
-                directory if [start-directory] isn't specified.
-                For example: >
-                    :NERDTree /home/marty/vim7/src
-<               will open a NERD tree in /home/marty/vim7/src.
+:NERDTree [<start-directory> | <bookmark>]                         *:NERDTree*
+    Opens a fresh NERD tree. The root of the tree depends on the argument
+    given. There are 3 cases: If no argument is given, the current directory
+    will be used.  If a directory is given, that will be used. If a bookmark
+    name is given, the corresponding directory will be used.  For example: >
+        :NERDTree /home/marty/vim7/src
+        :NERDTree foo   (foo is the name of a bookmark)
+<
+:NERDTreeFromBookmark <bookmark>                       *:NERDTreeFromBookmark*
+    Opens a fresh NERD tree with the root initialized to the dir for
+    <bookmark>.  This only reason to use this command over :NERDTree is for
+    the completion (which is for bookmarks rather than directories).
 
-:NERDTreeToggle [start-directory]                           *:NERDTreeToggle*
-                If a NERD tree already exists for this tab, it is reopened and
-                rendered again.  If no NERD tree exists for this tab then this

+2.2. Bookmarks                                             *NERDTreeBookmarks*
+
+Bookmarks in the NERD tree are a way to tag files or directories of interest.
+For example, you could use bookmarks to tag all of your project directories.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2.2.1. The Bookmark Table                              *NERDTreeBookmarkTable*
+
+If the bookmark table is active (see |NERDTree-B| and
+|'NERDTreeShowBookmarks'|), it will be rendered above the tree. You can double
+click bookmarks or use the |NERDTree-o| mapping to activate them. See also,
+|NERDTree-t| and |NERDTree-T|
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2.2.2. Bookmark commands                            *NERDTreeBookmarkCommands*
+
+Note that the following commands are only available in the NERD tree buffer.
+
+:Bookmark <name>
+    Bookmark the current node as <name>. If there is already a <name>
+    bookmark, it is overwritten. <name> must not contain spaces.
+
+:BookmarkToRoot <bookmark>
+    Make the directory corresponding to <bookmark> the new root. If a treenode
+    corresponding to <bookmark> is already cached somewhere in the tree then
+    the current tree will be used, otherwise a fresh tree will be opened.
+    Note that if <bookmark> points to a file then its parent will be used
+    instead.
+
+:RevealBookmark <bookmark>
+    If the node is cached under the current root then it will be revealed
+    (i.e. directory nodes above it will be opened) and the cursor will be
+    placed on it.
+
+:OpenBookmark <bookmark>
+    <bookmark> must point to a file. The file is opened as though |NERDTree-o|
+    was applied. If the node is cached under the current root then it will be
+    revealed and the cursor will be placed on it.
+
+:ClearBookmarks [<bookmarks>]
+    Remove all the given bookmarks. If no bookmarks are given then remove all
+    bookmarks on the current node.
+
+:ClearAllBookmarks
+    Remove all bookmarks.
+
+:ReadBookmarks
+    Re-read the bookmarks in the |'NERDTreeBookmarksFile'|.
+
+See also |:NERDTree| and |:NERDTreeFromBookmark|.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2.2.3. Invalid Bookmarks                            *NERDTreeInvalidBookmarks*
+
+If invalid bookmarks are detected, the script will issue an error message and
+the invalid bookmarks will become unavailable for use.
+
+These bookmarks will still be stored in the bookmarks file (see
+|'NERDTreeBookmarksFile'|), down the bottom. There will always be a blank line
+after the valid bookmarks but before the invalid ones.
+
+Each line in the bookmarks file represents one bookmark. The proper format is:
+<bookmark name><space><full path to the bookmark location>
+
+After you have corrected any invalid bookmarks, either restart vim, or go
+:ReadBookmarks from the NERD tree window.

+
+2.14.0
+    - fix a bug where the <c-w>o mapping  would cause the tree window to be
+      incorrectly sized when reopened.
+    - add keymapping to delete bookmarks from the bookmarks table, see
+      :help NERDTree-D
+    - lots of refactoring
+2.13.0
+    - make NERDTreeChDir option default to 0 (i.e. never change vims current
+      working dir by default)
+    - when moving/deleting nodes with the filesystem menu, move/delete any
+      associated bookmarks
+    - make the t/T on directory nodes open a fresh NERD tree for the selected
+      dir in a new tab, rather than a netrw.
+    - place the cursor at the top of the bookmarks table when opening it with B
+    - make NERDTreeQuitOnOpen option work with the g<tab> and go mappings,
+      thanks to Maxim Kim for the bug report
+    - change how invalid bookmarks are handled. Now they are not deleted. If a
+      bookmark is malformed (in the bookmarks file) or points to an
+      invalid/nonexisting location then print an error and place the offending
+      bookmarks at the bottom of the bookmarks file. See :help
+      |NERDTreeInvalidBookmarks| for info. Thanks to Zhang Shuhan for the
+      suggestion and the testing.
+    - fix a bug with the 'o' mapping that occurred when opening a new buffer
+      for a file whose name was a substring of an already open file. Thanks to
+      Charlton Wang for the report.
+    - stop the script from going into an infinite loop when it tries to cache
+      a named pipe. Thanks to Charlton Wang for the report.
+
+2.12.0
+    - added a UI for bookmarks. See :help NERDTreeBookmarkTable for details.
+      Thanks to Zhang Shuhan for testing and bug reports.
+    - relaxed the restrictions on bookmark names, now the only restriction is
+      that they cant contain spaces. This allows for e.g. Chinese bookmark
+      names. Thanks to Zhang Shuhan for the suggestion.
+    - combined the NERDTreeWinPos and NERDTreeSplitVertical options. See :help
+      NERDTreeWinPos.
+    - applied a patch from Matan Nassau to add the NERDTreeQuitOnOpen option
+      which closes the tree window after opening a file. See :help
+      NERDTreeQuitOnOpen.
+    - optimised the nerd tree rendering. Now it takes just over 1/3 of the
+      time it previously took to render.
+    - now the tree filter mappings toggle the filters "per tree" rather than
+      globally. The global filter variables are used to set the initial filter
+      settings for each new NERD tree.
+    - fix to window resizing when opening a file when NERD tree is the only
+      window open
+    - other fixes
+
+2.11.0
+    - changes to the 'o' mapping when opening files:
+      - dont clobber "special" windows (eg taglist/quickfix/etc). This should
+        make the NERD tree play nicer with other explorer plugins. Thanks to
+        Yuan Jiang for the suggestion.
+      - if the file is already open in the current tab, just move the cursor
+        to that window
+    - highlight executable files, made some slight changes to other
+      highlighting
+    - if the user resizes the tree window, keep that new size. Dont reset to
+      the default during the <tab> mapping, or :NERDTreeToggle command. Only
+      reset the size if a fresh tree is started with :NERDTree.
+    - remove the "magic" functionality from the <c-j>/<c-k> mappings (it was
+      more confusing than helpful)
+    - other minor fixes
+
+2.10.0
+    - added bookmarks, see :help NERDTreeBookmarkCommands for details. Thanks
+      to Piotr Czachur for all his testing and suggestions.
+    - fixed screen jumping bug with when &scrolloff != 0
+    - fixed some bugs with copying nodes
+    - other random fixes

+
+2.9.0
+
+    - path handling improvements, thanks to Zhang Shuhan for heaps of
+      testing/bug reports
+        * improved how paths are stored, now the script will no longer get
+          confused about drives on MF Windows
