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 the following to your `.vimrc`:
78 let g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonic = 1
81 Level 1 heading which is served as a document title is not folded.
82 `g:vim_markdown_folding_level` setting is not active with this fold style.
84 To prevent foldtext from being set add the following to your `.vimrc`:
87 let g:vim_markdown_override_foldtext = 0
90 ### Set header folding level
92 Folding level is a number between 1 and 6. By default, if not specified, it is set to 1.
95 let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 6
98 Tip: it can be changed on the fly with:
101 :let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 1
105 ### Disable Default Key Mappings
107 Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable default key mappings:
110 let g:vim_markdown_no_default_key_mappings = 1
113 You can also map them by yourself with `<Plug>` mappings.
115 ### Enable TOC window auto-fit
117 Allow for the TOC window to auto-fit when it's possible for it to shrink.
118 It never increases its default size (half screen), it only shrinks.
121 let g:vim_markdown_toc_autofit = 1
124 ### Text emphasis restriction to single-lines
126 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:
129 let g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline = 0
132 ### Syntax Concealing
134 Concealing is set for some syntax.
136 For example, conceal `[link text](link url)` as just `link text`.
137 Also, `_italic_` and `*italic*` will conceal to just _italic_.
138 Similarly `__bold__`, `**bold**`, `___italic bold___`, and `***italic bold***`
139 will conceal to just __bold__, **bold**, ___italic bold___, and ***italic bold*** respectively.
141 To enable conceal use Vim's standard conceal configuration.
147 To disable conceal regardless of `conceallevel` setting, add the following to your `.vimrc`:
150 let g:vim_markdown_conceal = 0
153 To disable math conceal with LaTeX math syntax enabled, add the following to your `.vimrc`:
156 let g:tex_conceal = ""
157 let g:vim_markdown_math = 1
160 ### Fenced code block languages
162 You can use filetype name as fenced code block languages for syntax highlighting.
163 If you want to use different name from filetype, you can add it in your `.vimrc` like so:
166 let g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages = ['csharp=cs']
169 This will cause the following to be highlighted using the `cs` filetype syntax.
175 Default is `['c++=cpp', 'viml=vim', 'bash=sh', 'ini=dosini']`.
177 ### Syntax extensions
179 The following options control which syntax extensions will be turned on. They are off by default.
183 Used as `$x^2$`, `$$x^2$$`, escapable as `\$x\$` and `\$\$x\$\$`.
186 let g:vim_markdown_math = 1
189 #### YAML Front Matter
191 Highlight YAML front matter as used by Jekyll or [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
194 let g:vim_markdown_frontmatter = 1
197 #### TOML Front Matter
199 Highlight TOML front matter as used by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
201 TOML syntax highlight requires [vim-toml](https://github.com/cespare/vim-toml).
204 let g:vim_markdown_toml_frontmatter = 1
207 #### JSON Front Matter
209 Highlight JSON front matter as used by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
211 JSON syntax highlight requires [vim-json](https://github.com/elzr/vim-json).
214 let g:vim_markdown_json_frontmatter = 1
217 ### Adjust new list item indent
219 You can adjust a new list indent. For example, you insert a single line like below:
225 Then if you type `o` to insert new line in vim and type `* item2`, the result will be:
232 vim-markdown automatically insert the indent. By default, the number of spaces of indent is 4. If you'd like to change the number as 2, just write:
235 let g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent = 2
238 ### Do not require .md extensions for Markdown links
240 If you want to have a link like this `[link text](link-url)` and follow it for editing in vim using the `ge` command, but have it open the file "link-url.md" instead of the file "link-url", then use this option:
243 let g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown = 1
245 This is super useful for GitLab and GitHub wiki repositories.
247 Normal behaviour would be that vim-markup required you to do this `[link text](link-url.md)`, but this is not how the Gitlab and GitHub wiki repositories work. So this option adds some consistency between the two.
249 ### Auto-write when following link
251 If you follow a link like this `[link text](link-url)` using the `ge` shortcut, this option will automatically save any edits you made before moving you:
254 let g:vim_markdown_autowrite = 1
259 The following work on normal and visual modes:
261 - `gx`: open the link under the cursor in the same browser as the standard `gx` command. `<Plug>Markdown_OpenUrlUnderCursor`
263 The standard `gx` is extended by allowing you to put your cursor anywhere inside a link.
265 For example, all the following cursor positions will work:
267 [Example](http://example.com)
275 Known limitation: does not work for links that span multiple lines.
277 - `ge`: open the link under the cursor in Vim for editing. Useful for relative markdown links. `<Plug>Markdown_EditUrlUnderCursor`
279 The rules for the cursor position are the same as the `gx` command.
281 - `]]`: go to next header. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextHeader`
283 - `[[`: go to previous header. Contrast with `]c`. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousHeader`
285 - `][`: go to next sibling header if any. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextSiblingHeader`
287 - `[]`: go to previous sibling header if any. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousSiblingHeader`
289 - `]c`: go to Current header. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToCurHeader`
291 - `]u`: go to parent header (Up). `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader`
293 This plugin follows the recommended Vim plugin mapping interface, so to change the map `]u` to `asdf`, add to your `.vimrc`:
295 map asdf <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
297 To disable a map use:
299 map <Plug> <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
303 The following requires `:filetype plugin on`.
307 Decrease level of all headers in buffer: `h2` to `h1`, `h3` to `h2`, etc.
309 If range is given, only operate in the range.
311 If an `h1` would be decreased, abort.
313 For simplicity of implementation, Setex headers are converted to Atx.
315 - `:HeaderIncrease`: Analogous to `:HeaderDecrease`, but increase levels instead.
319 Convert all Setex style headers in buffer to Atx.
321 If a range is given, e.g. hit `:` from visual mode, only operate on the range.
323 - `:TableFormat`: Format the table under the cursor [like this](http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-style-guide/#tables).
325 Requires [Tabular](https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular).
327 The input table *must* already have a separator line as the second line of the table.
328 That line only needs to contain the correct pipes `|`, nothing else is required.
330 - `:Toc`: create a quickfix vertical window navigable table of contents with the headers.
332 Hit `<Enter>` on a line to jump to the corresponding line of the markdown file.
334 - `:Toch`: Same as `:Toc` but in an horizontal window.
336 - `:Toct`: Same as `:Toc` but in a new tab.
338 - `:Tocv`: Same as `:Toc` for symmetry with `:Toch` and `:Tocv`.
