-  <h5>Original `Tabs` API is deprecated since v1.11.0</h5>
-  The original `Tabs` API has been deprecated in v1.11.0 favor of the simpler and more flexible
-  `Tabs2` API described below. Documentation for the deprecated components can be found
-  [further below](#components.tabs.deprecated). This API will replace the deprecated one in v2.0.
-</div>
-
-<div class="pt-callout pt-intent-primary pt-icon-info-sign">
-  <h5>Advantages of new API</h5>
-  <p>Only two components (`Tabs` and `Tab`) are needed, rather than the previous four.</p>
-  <p>Selection is managed by ID, rather than by index. This is more reliable and deterministic and
-  does not require translating between numbers and tab names. It does, however, require that
-  every `Tab` have a locally unique `id` prop.</p>
-  <p>Arbitrary elements are supported in the tab list, and order is respected. Yes, you can even
-  insert things _between_ `Tab`s.</p>
-</div>
-
-The `Tabs2` and `Tab2` components are available in the __@blueprintjs/core__
-package. Make sure to review the [general usage docs for JS components](#components.usage).

-import { Tab2, Tabs2 } from "@blueprintjs/core";

-<Tabs2 id="Tabs2Example" onChange={this.handleTabChange}>
-    <Tab2 id="rx" title="React" panel={<ReactPanel />} />
-    <Tab2 id="ng" title="Angular" panel={<AngularPanel />} />
-    <Tab2 id="mb" title="Ember" panel={<EmberPanel />} />
-    <Tab2 id="bb" disabled title="Backbone" panel={<BackbonePanel />} />

-Tabs2
-
-`Tabs2` is responsible for rendering the tab list and coordinating selection. It can be used in
-controlled mode by providing `selectedTabId` and `onChange` props, or in uncontrolled mode by
-optionally providing `defaultSelectedTabId` and `onChange`.
-
-Children of the `Tabs2` are rendered in order in the tab list, which is a horizontal flex row.
-`Tab2` children are managed by the component; clicking one will change selection. Arbitrary other
-children are simply rendered; interactions are your responsibility. Insert a `<Tabs2.Expander />`
-between any two children to right-align all subsequent children (or bottom-align when `vertical`).

-Tab2
-
-`Tab2` is a minimal wrapper with no functionality of its own&mdash;it is managed entirely by its
-parent `Tabs2` wrapper. Tab title text can be set either via `title` prop or via React children
-(for more complex content).
-
-The associated tab `panel` will be visible when the `Tab` is active. Omitting `panel` is perfectly
-safe and allows you to control exactly where the panel appears in the DOM (by rendering it yourself
-as needed).
