 * **Custom Settings**: Settings with priority over those set by darkcloud-vimconfig can be added to a file named _vimrc.user_, located in _darkcloud-vimconfig/vim/_ or any of the folders in the runtimepath.
 * **Custom Plugins**: Pathogen compatible plugins can be cloned or extracted to "darkcloud-vimconfig/vim/bundle.user/", or a folder named "bundle" or "bundle.user" in any of the folders in the runtimepath.
-* **Custom Snippets**: To add or override Emmet snippets, create _~/.vim/snippets.json_ and add your own definitions using json like shown in the [Emmet Documentation](http://docs.emmet.io/customization/snippets/).
 * **File Associations**: To use the file manager in vim to run files with external programs, create "~/.vim/filetypes.vim" and on each line, write an association between a file extension and the program to launch files of that type that looks like: `call vimfiler#set_execute_file('mp4','xdg-open')`.
 * **Update Script**: (requires: bash+git) Use this to update the project and submodules, as well as handle any required maintenance, generate docs from the pathogen plugins and create missing config scripts with preset values.
 * **Generate System Tags**: (requires: bash+ctags) Generate a list of ctags for your system libraries in _/usr/include_ and _/usr/local/include_ as well as any folders passed as arguments by running the _gentags_ script.
