+@vindex gnus-topic-display-predicate
+If @code{gnus-topic-display-predicate} is non-@code{nil}, it should be
+a function that says whether the topic is to be displayed or not.
+The function will be called with one parameter (the name of the topic)
+and should return non-@code{nil} is the topic is to be displayed.

+For instance, if you don't even want to be reminded that work exists
+outside of office hours, you can gather all the work-related groups
+into a topic called @samp{"Work"}, and then say something like the
+following:
