-## Introduction
-
-Vim script (also called VimL) is the subset of Vim's ex-commands which supplies
-a number of features one one would expect from a scripting language, such as
-values, variables, functions or loops. Always keep in the back of your mind
-that a Vim script file is just a sequence of ex-commands. It is very common for
-a script to mix programming-language features and raw ex-commands.
-
-You can run Vim script directly by entering the commands in command-mode (press
-`:` to enter command-mode), or you can write them to a file (without the
-leading `:`) and source it in a running Vim instance (`:source path/to/file`).
-Some files are sourced automatically as part of your configuration (see `:h
-startup`). This guide assumes that you are familiar with ex-commands and will
-only cover the scripting. Help topics to the relevant manual sections are
-included.
-
-See `:h usr_41.txt` for the official introduction to Vim script. A comment is
-anything following an unmatched `"` until the end of the line, and `|`
-separates instructions (what `;` does in most other languages).
