+Taglist-plus provides excellent Javascript support via jsctags. See [here][1]
 for examples.
 
+Installation
+------------
+
+Unzip the plugin files to your `.vim` directory.
+
+For great Javascript support, jsctags is required as well.
+
+jsctags can be obtained via [github][4]. It requires a recent version of
+node.js -- the default one provided in Maverick Meerkat won't cut it. You can
+[build it from source][6] or get it via [this PPA][5].
+
+If you're going the PPA route, you'll need to map `nodejs` to `node`. Here are
+the commands:
+<pre>
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:richarvey/nodester
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install nodejs
+sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/local/bin/node
+</pre>
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+`:TlistToggle` brings up the taglist window.  More commands can be found via
+`:help taglist-commands`.
