+5. Setting 'guitablabel'				*setting-guitablabel*
+
+When the GUI tab pages line is displayed, 'guitablabel' can be used to
+specify the label to display for each tab page.  Unlike 'tabline', which
+specifies the whole tab pages line at once, 'guitablabel' is used for each
+label separately.
+
+See the 'statusline' option for the format of the value.
+
+The "%N" item can be used for the current tab page number.  The |v:lnum|
+variable is also set to this number.
+
+Note that syntax highlighting is not used for 'guitablabel'.  The %T and %X
+are also ignored.
+
+A simple example that puts the tab page number and the buffer name in the label: >
+
+	:set guitablabel=%N\ %f
+
+An example that resembles the default: Show the number of windows in the tab
+page and a '+' if there is a modifed buffer: >
+
+	function! GuiTabLabel()
+	  let label = ''
+	  let bufnrlist = tabpagebuflist(v:lnum)
+
+	  " Add '+' if one of the buffers in the tab page is modified
+	  for bufnr in bufnrlist
+	    if getbufvar(bufnr, "&modified")
