-: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. Bookmark Commands                              *NERDTreeBookmarkCommands*
+
+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.
+See also |:NERDTree| and |:NERDTreeFromBookmark|.
+
+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 consist of alphanumeric
+    characters and underscores.
+
+: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.
