+## Basic usage
+
+### Folding
+
+Folding is enabled for headers by default.
+
+The following commands are useful to open and close folds:
+
+- `zr`: reduces fold level throughout the buffer
+- `zR`: opens all folds
+- `zm`: increases fold level throughout the buffer
+- `zM`: folds everything all the way
+- `za`: open a fold your cursor is on
+- `zA`: open a fold your cursor is on recursively
+- `zc`: close a fold your cursor is on
+- `zC`: close a fold your cursor is on recursively
+
+[Options](#options) are available to disable folding or change folding style.
+
+Try `:help fold-expr` and `:help fold-commands` for details.
+
+### Concealing
+
+Concealing is set for some syntax such as bold, italic, code block and link.
+
+Concealing lets you conceal text with other text. The actual source text is not modified. If you put your cursor on the concealed line, the conceal goes away.
+
+[Options](#options) are available to disable or change concealing.
+
+Try `:help concealcursor` and `:help conceallevel` for details.
+
## Options
### Disable Folding
### 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:
+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 (i.e., 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
let g:vim_markdown_conceal = 0
```
+To disable math conceal with LaTeX math syntax enabled, add the following to your `.vimrc`:
+
+```vim
+let g:tex_conceal = ""
+let g:vim_markdown_math = 1
+```
+
### Fenced code block languages
You can use filetype name as fenced code block languages for syntax highlighting.
### Follow named anchors
-This feature allows ge to follow named anchors in links of the form
+This feature allows the `ge` command to follow named anchors in links of the form
`file#anchor` or just `#anchor`, where file may omit the `.md` extension as
usual. Two variables control its operation:
let g:vim_markdown_json_frontmatter = 1
```
+#### Strikethrough
+
+Strikethrough uses two tildes. `~~Scratch this.~~`
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_strikethrough = 1
+```
+
### Adjust new list item indent
You can adjust a new list indent. For example, you insert a single line like below:
### Do not require .md extensions for Markdown links
-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:
+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:
```vim
let g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown = 1
### Auto-write when following link
-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:

```vim

```
+### Change default file extension
+
+If you would like to use a file extension other than `.md` you may do so using the `vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext` variable:
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext = 'txt'
+```
+
+### Do not automatically insert bulletpoints
+
+Automatically inserting bulletpoints can lead to problems when wrapping text
+(see issue #232 for details), so it can be disabled:
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_auto_insert_bullets = 0
+```
+
+In that case, you probably also want to set the new list item indent to 0 as
+well, or you will have to remove an indent each time you add a new list item:
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent = 0
+```
+
+### Change how to open new files
+
+By default when following a link the target file will be opened in your current buffer. This behavior can change if you prefer using splits or tabs by using the `vim_markdown_edit_url_in` variable. Possible values are `tab`, `vsplit`, `hsplit`, `current` opening in a new tab, vertical split, horizontal split, and current buffer respectively. Defaults to current buffer if not set:
+
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_edit_url_in = 'tab'
+```
+
