To use the plugin features with a particular file type(s), you need to first register a LSP server for that file type(s).
-The LSP servers are registered using the LspAddServer() function. This function accepts a list of LSP servers.
+The LSP servers are registered using the `LspAddServer()` function. This function accepts a list of LSP servers.
To register a LSP server, add the following lines to your .vimrc file (use only the LSP servers that you need from the below list). If you used [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) to install the LSP plugin, the steps are described later in this section.
```viml
Field|Description
-----|-----------
-filetype|One or more file types supported by the LSP server. This can be a String or a List. To specify multiple multiple file types, use a List.
-path|complete path to the LSP server executable (without any arguments).
-args|a list of command-line arguments passed to the LSP server. Each argument is a separate List item.
-initializationOptions|User provided initialization options. May be of any type. For example the *intelephense* PHP language server accept several options here with the License Key among others.
-customNotificationHandlers|A dictionary of notifications and functions that can be specified to add support for custom language server notifications.
-customRequestHandlers|A dictionary of request handlers and functions that can be specified to add support for custom language server requests replies.
-features|A dictionary of booleans that can be specified to toggle what things a given LSP is providing (folding, goto definition, etc) This is useful when running multiple servers in one buffer.
