-# Startup Process
-
-Textadept starts up ridiculously fast. On most computers it starts up around as
-fast as you can blink.
-
-## Core (`core/init.lua`)
-
-The key to Textadept's lightning fast start time is that it loads only its core
-modules before showing the window.
-
-#### Themes
-
-Textadept loads its theme during the Core startup process. Each theme is its
-own folder with three files: `buffer.lua`, `lexer.lua`, and `view.lua`. The
-buffer theme sets default buffer properties like tabs and indentation. The view
-theme sets default view properties like caret color and current line background
-color. Lexer themes set the color and style definitions used by most lexers. By
-default the `'light'` theme is used. A `'scite'` theme is provided for users
-accustomed to SciTE.
-
-To use a different theme, create a `~/.textadept/theme` file containing the
-name of the theme you would like. If you have a custom theme, place it in your
-`~/.textadept/themes/` directory. Any errors are printed to standard out.
-
-## Post-Core (`init.lua`)
-
-After loading the core modules, Textadept begins loading additional modules.
-It first checks for your `~/.textadept/init.lua`. If the file does not exist,
-all default modules listed in `init.lua` are loaded.
-
-Your `~/.textadept/init.lua` is a great place to specify what modules you want
-to use. They can be Textadept's default ones, or ones that you create. As an
-example:
-
- -- In ~/.textadept/init.lua
-
- -- Do not load all of textadept's modules.
- --require 'textadept'
-
- -- Instead, load a subset of them from 'modules/textadept/init.lua'.
- --require 'textadept.bookmarks'
- --require 'textadept.command_entry'
- require 'textadept.editing'
- require 'textadept.find'
- require 'textadept.mime_types'
- --require 'textadept.run'
- require 'textadept.session'
- require 'textadept.snippets'
-
- -- These need to be loaded last.
- --require 'textadept.menu'
- require 'textadept.keys'
-
-Please note Textadept does NOT load your `~/.textadept/init.lua`'s modules in
-addition to its own. This defeats the purpose of maximum extensibility. If your
-`init.lua` exists, Textadept assumes that file tells it exactly what to load.
-If you have an empty `init.lua`, no modules are loaded.
-
-After loading the additional modules, Textadept parses command line arguments,
-or if none are specified, reloads the last saved session.
