 Visual Studio 12 2013
 ---------------------
 
-Deprecated.  Generates Visual Studio 12 (VS 2013) project files.
-
-.. note::
-  This generator is deprecated and will be removed in a future version
-  of CMake.  It will still be possible to build with VS 12 2013 tools
-  using the :generator:`Visual Studio 14 2015` (or above) generator
-  with :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` set to ``v120``, or by
-  using the :generator:`NMake Makefiles` generator.
-
-For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.0, one may specify this
-generator using the name "Visual Studio 12" without the year component.
-
-Project Types
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Only Visual C++ and C# projects may be generated (and Fortran with
-Intel compiler integration).  Other types of projects (JavaScript,
-Powershell, Python, etc.) are not supported.
-
-Platform Selection
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The default target platform name (architecture) is ``Win32``.
-
-.. versionadded:: 3.1
-  The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set, perhaps
-  via the :option:`cmake -A` option, to specify a target platform
-  name (architecture).  For example:
-
-  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -A Win32``
-  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -A x64``
-  * ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -A ARM``
-
-For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
-a target platform name optionally at the end of the generator name.
-This is supported only for:
-
-``Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64``
-  Specify target platform ``x64``.
-
-``Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM``
-  Specify target platform ``ARM``.
-
-Toolset Selection
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``v120`` toolset that comes with Visual Studio 12 2013 is selected by
-default.  The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option may be set, perhaps
-via the :option:`cmake -T` option, to specify another toolset.
