## Installation
If you use [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle), add the following line to your `~/.vimrc`:
git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git
cd vim-markdown
sudo make install
-vim-addon-manager install mkd
+vim-addon-manager install markdown
```
If you are not using any package manager, download the [tarball](https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown/archive/master.tar.gz) and do this:
Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable the folding configuration:
```vim
-let g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled=1
+let g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled = 1
```
This option only controls Vim Markdown specific folding configuration.
set [no]foldenable
```
+### Change fold style
+
+To fold in a style like [python-mode](https://github.com/klen/python-mode), add
+the following to your `.vimrc`:
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonic = 1
+```
+
+### Set header folding level
+
+Folding level is a number between 1 and 6. By default, if not specified, it is set to 1.
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 6
+```
+
+Tip: it can be changed on the fly with:
+
+```vim
+:let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 1
+:edit
+```
+
### Disable Default Key Mappings
Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable default key mappings:
```vim
-let g:vim_markdown_no_default_key_mappings=1
+let g:vim_markdown_no_default_key_mappings = 1
```
You can also map them by yourself with `<Plug>` mappings.
+### Enable TOC window auto-fit
+
+Allow for the TOC window to auto-fit when it's possible for it to shrink.
+It never increases its default size (half screen), it only shrinks.
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_toc_autofit = 1
+```
+
+### Text emphasis restriction to single-lines
+
+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:
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline = 0
+```
+
+### Syntax Concealing
+
+Concealing is set for some syntax.
+
+For example, conceal `[link text](link url)` as just `link text`.
+
+To enable/disable conceal use Vim's standard conceal configuration.
+
+```vim
+set conceallevel=2
+```
+
### Syntax extensions
The following options control which syntax extensions will be turned on. They are off by default.
Used as `$x^2$`, `$$x^2$$`, escapable as `\$x\$` and `\$\$x\$\$`.
```vim
-let g:vim_markdown_math=1
+let g:vim_markdown_math = 1
+```
+
+#### YAML Front Matter
+
+Highlight YAML front matter as used by Jekyll or [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_frontmatter = 1
```
-#### YAML frontmatter
+#### TOML Front Matter
-Highlight YAML frontmatter as used by Jekyll:
+Highlight TOML front matter as used by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
+
+TOML syntax highlight requires [vim-toml](https://github.com/cespare/vim-toml).
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_toml_frontmatter = 1
+```
+
+#### JSON Front Matter
+
+Highlight JSON front matter as used by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/).
+
+JSON syntax highlight requires [vim-json](https://github.com/elzr/vim-json).
```vim
-let g:vim_markdown_frontmatter=1
+let g:vim_markdown_json_frontmatter = 1
```
## Mappings
The following work on normal and visual modes:
-- `gx`: open the link under the cursor in the same browser as the standard `gx` command.
+- `gx`: open the link under the cursor in the same browser as the standard `gx` command. `<Plug>Markdown_OpenUrlUnderCursor`
The standard `gx` is extended by allowing you to put your cursor anywhere inside a link.
Known limitation: does not work for links that span multiple lines.
-- `]]`: go to next header. `<Plug>(Markdown_MoveToNextHeader)`
+- `]]`: go to next header. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextHeader`
+
+- `[[`: go to previous header. Contrast with `]c`. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousHeader`
+
+- `][`: go to next sibling header if any. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextSiblingHeader`
-- `[[`: go to previous header. Contrast with `]c`. `<Plug>(Markdown_MoveToPreviousHeader)`
+- `[]`: go to previous sibling header if any. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousSiblingHeader`
-- `][`: go to next sibling header if any. `<Plug>(Markdown_MoveToNextSiblingHeader)`
+- `]c`: go to Current header. `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToCurHeader`
-- `[]`: go to previous sibling header if any. `<Plug>(Markdown_MoveToPreviousSiblingHeader)`
+- `]u`: go to parent header (Up). `<Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader`
-- `]c`: go to Current header. `<Plug>(Markdown_MoveToCurHeader)`
+This plugin follows the recommended Vim plugin mapping interface, so to change the map `]u` to `asdf`, add to your `.vimrc`:
-- `]u`: go to parent header (Up). `<Plug>(Markdown_MoveToParentHeader)`
+ map asdf <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
+
+To disable a map use:
+
+ map <Plug> <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
## Commands
+The following requires `:filetype plugin on`.
+
- `:HeaderDecrease`:
Decrease level of all headers in buffer: `h2` to `h1`, `h3` to `h2`, etc.
If a range is given, e.g. hit `:` from visual mode, only operate on the range.
-- `:TableFormat`: Format the table under the cursor [like this](http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#tables).
+- `:TableFormat`: Format the table under the cursor [like this](http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-style-guide/#tables).
Requires [Tabular](https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular).
