Bars example								*bars*

Now that you've jumped here with CTRL-] or a double mouse click, you can use
CTRL-T, CTRL-O, g<RightMouse>, or <C-RightMouse> to go back to where you were.

Note that tags are within | characters, but when highlighting is enabled these
characters are hidden (for aesthetics).

You can use CTRL-] on any word (even if it is not within "|") and Nvim will
try to find help for it.  Especially for options in single quotes, e.g.
'hlsearch'.
