+*lsp-extension.txt* LSP Extension
+
+ NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
+
+
+The `vim.lsp` Lua module is a framework for building LSP plugins.
+
+ 1. Start with |vim.lsp.start_client()| and |vim.lsp.buf_attach_client()|.
+ 2. Peek at the API: >
+ :lua print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp))
+< 3. See |lsp-extension-example| for a full example.
+
+================================================================================
+LSP EXAMPLE *lsp-extension-example*
+
+This example is for plugin authors or users who want a lot of control. If you
+are just getting started see |lsp-quickstart|.
+
+For more advanced configurations where just filtering by filetype isn't
+sufficient, you can use the `vim.lsp.start_client()` and
+`vim.lsp.buf_attach_client()` commands to easily customize the configuration
+however you please. For example, if you want to do your own filtering, or
+start a new LSP client based on the root directory for working with multiple
+projects in a single session. To illustrate, the following is a fully working
+Lua example.
+
+The example will:
+1. Check for each new buffer whether or not we want to start an LSP client.
+2. Try to find a root directory by ascending from the buffer's path.
+3. Create a new LSP for that root directory if one doesn't exist.
+4. Attach the buffer to the client for that root directory.
