16 If you use [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle), add the following line to your `~/.vimrc`:
19 Plugin 'godlygeek/tabular'
20 Plugin 'plasticboy/vim-markdown'
23 The `tabular` plugin must come *before* `vim-markdown`.
32 If you use [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), do this:
36 git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git
39 To install without Pathogen using the Debian [vim-addon-manager](http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vim-addon-manager.html), do this:
42 git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git
45 vim-addon-manager install markdown
48 If you are not using any package manager, download the [tarball](https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown/archive/master.tar.gz) and do this:
52 tar --strip=1 -zxf vim-markdown-master.tar.gz
59 Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable the folding configuration:
62 let g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled = 1
65 This option only controls Vim Markdown specific folding configuration.
67 To enable/disable folding use Vim's standard folding configuration.
75 To fold in a style like [python-mode](https://github.com/klen/python-mode), add
76 the following to your `.vimrc`:
79 let g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonic = 1
82 ### Set header folding level
84 Folding level is a number between 1 and 6. By default, if not specified, it is set to 1.
87 let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 6
90 Tip: it can be changed on the fly with:
93 :let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 1
97 ### Disable Default Key Mappings
99 Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable default key mappings:
102 let g:vim_markdown_no_default_key_mappings = 1
105 You can also map them by yourself with `<Plug>` mappings.
107 ### Enable TOC window auto-fit
109 Allow for the TOC window to auto-fit when it's possible for it to shrink.
110 It never increases its default size (half screen), it only shrinks.
113 let g:vim_markdown_toc_autofit = 1
116 ### Text emphasis restriction to single-lines
118 By default text emphasis works across multiple lines until a closing token is found. However, it's possible to restrict text emphasis to a single line (ie, for it to be applied a closing token must be found on the same line). To do so:
121 let g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline = 0
124 ### Syntax Concealing
126 Concealing is set for some syntax.
128 For example, conceal `[link text](link url)` as just `link text`.
130 To disable conceal, add the following to your '.vimrc':
133 let g:vim_markdown_conceal = 0
136 ### Syntax extensions
138 The following options control which syntax extensions will be turned on. They are off by default.
142 Used as `$x^2$`, `$$x^2$$`, escapable as `\$x\$` and `\$\$x\$\$`.
145 let g:vim_markdown_math = 1
148 #### YAML Front Matter
150 Highlight YAML front matter as used by Jekyll or [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
153 let g:vim_markdown_frontmatter = 1
156 #### TOML Front Matter
158 Highlight TOML front matter as used by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
160 TOML syntax highlight requires [vim-toml](https://github.com/cespare/vim-toml).
163 let g:vim_markdown_toml_frontmatter = 1
166 #### JSON Front Matter
168 Highlight JSON front matter as used by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
170 JSON syntax highlight requires [vim-json](https://github.com/elzr/vim-json).
173 let g:vim_markdown_json_frontmatter = 1
178 The following work on normal and visual modes:
180 - `gx`: open the link under the cursor in the same browser as the standard `gx` command. `<Plug>Markdown_OpenUrlUnderCursor`
182 The standard `gx` is extended by allowing you to put your cursor anywhere inside a link.
184 For example, all the following cursor positions will work:
186 [Example](http://example.com)
194 Known limitation: does not work for links that span multiple lines.
196 - `]]`: go to next header. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextHeader`
198 - `[[`: go to previous header. Contrast with `]c`. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousHeader`
200 - `][`: go to next sibling header if any. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextSiblingHeader`
202 - `[]`: go to previous sibling header if any. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousSiblingHeader`
204 - `]c`: go to Current header. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToCurHeader`
206 - `]u`: go to parent header (Up). `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader`
208 This plugin follows the recommended Vim plugin mapping interface, so to change the map `]u` to `asdf`, add to your `.vimrc`:
210 map asdf <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
212 To disable a map use:
214 map <Plug> <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
218 The following requires `:filetype plugin on`.
222 Decrease level of all headers in buffer: `h2` to `h1`, `h3` to `h2`, etc.
224 If range is given, only operate in the range.
226 If an `h1` would be decreased, abort.
228 For simplicity of implementation, Setex headers are converted to Atx.
230 - `:HeaderIncrease`: Analogous to `:HeaderDecrease`, but increase levels instead.
234 Convert all Setex style headers in buffer to Atx.
236 If a range is given, e.g. hit `:` from visual mode, only operate on the range.
238 - `:TableFormat`: Format the table under the cursor [like this](http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-style-guide/#tables).
240 Requires [Tabular](https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular).
242 The input table *must* already have a separator line as the second line of the table.
243 That line only needs to contain the correct pipes `|`, nothing else is required.
245 - `:Toc`: create a quickfix vertical window navigable table of contents with the headers.
247 Hit `<Enter>` on a line to jump to the corresponding line of the markdown file.
249 - `:Toch`: Same as `:Toc` but in an horizontal window.
251 - `:Toct`: Same as `:Toc` but in a new tab.
253 - `:Tocv`: Same as `:Toc` for symmetry with `:Toch` and `:Tocv`.
