+
+delimitMate options can be set globally for all buffers using global
+("regular") variables in your |vimrc| file. But |:autocmd| can be used to set
+options for specific file types (see |'filetype'|) using buffer variables in
+the following way: >
+
+   au FileType mail,text let b:delimitMate_autoclose = 0
+         ^       ^           ^            ^            ^

+         |       |           |            - Option name.
+         |       |           - Buffer variable.
+         |       - File types for which the option will be set.
+         - Don't forget to put this event.
+<
+NOTE that if you use buffer variables (|b:vars|) to set global settings in
+your vimrc, those settings will be set for the first buffer, but they'll be
+ignored for new buffers and default values will be set.
