+Folding ~
+
+Folding is enabled for headers by default.
+
+The following commands are useful to open and close folds:
+
+ *vim-markdown-zr*
+- 'zr': reduces fold level throughout the buffer
+ *vim-markdown-zR*
+- 'zR': opens all folds
+ *vim-markdown-zm*
+- 'zm': increases fold level throughout the buffer
+ *vim-markdown-zM*
+- 'zM': folds everything all the way
+ *vim-markdown-za*
+- 'za': open a fold your cursor is on
+ *vim-markdown-zA*
+- 'zA': open a fold your cursor is on recursively
+ *vim-markdown-zc*
+- 'zc': close a fold your cursor is on
+ *vim-markdown-zC*
+- 'zC': close a fold your cursor is on recursively
+
+Options are available to disable folding or change folding style.
+
+Try ':help fold-expr' and ':help fold-commands' for details.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-concealing*
+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 are available to disable or change concealing.
+
+Try ':help concealcursor' and ':help conceallevel' for details.

*vim-markdown-text-emphasis-restriction-to-single-lines*
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:
+ *g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline*

<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-fenced-code-block-languages*
+Fenced code block languages ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages'
+
+ You can use filetype name as fenced code block languages for syntax
+ highlighting. If you want to use different name from filetype, you can add
+ it in your '.vimrc' like so:
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages = ['csharp=cs']
+<
+ This will cause the following to be highlighted using the 'cs' filetype
+ syntax.
+>
+ ```csharp
+ ...
+ ```
+<
+ Default is "['c++=cpp', 'viml=vim', 'bash=sh', 'ini=dosini']".
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-follow-named-anchors*
+Follow named anchors ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_follow_anchor*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_follow_anchor'
+
+ 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_follow_anchor = 1
+<
+ This tells vim-markdown whether to attempt to follow a named anchor in a
+ link or not. When it is 1, and only if a link can be split in two parts by
+ the pattern '#', then the first part is interpreted as the file and the
+ second one as the named anchor. This also includes urls of the form
+ '#anchor', for which the first part is considered empty, meaning that the
+ target file is the current one. After the file is opened, the anchor will
+ be searched.
+
+ Default is '0'.
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_anchorexpr*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_anchorexpr'
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_anchorexpr = "'<<'.v:anchor.'>>'"
+<
+ This expression will be evaluated substituting 'v:anchor' with a quoted
+ string that contains the anchor to visit. The result of the evaluation will
+ become the real anchor to search in the target file. This is useful in
+ order to convert anchors of the form, say, 'my-section-title' to searches
+ of the form 'My Section Title' or '<<my-section-title>>'.
+
+ Default is "''".
+

+ *vim-markdown-strikethrough*
+Strikethrough ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_strikethrough*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_strikethrough'
+
+ Strikethrough uses two tildes. '~~Scratch this.~~'
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_strikethrough = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-adjust-new-list-item-indent*
+Adjust new list item indent ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent'
+
+ You can adjust a new list indent. For example, you insert a single line
+ like below:
+>
+ * item1
+<
+ Then if you type 'o' to insert new line in vim and type '* item2', the
+ result will be:
+>
+ * item1
+ * item2
+<
+ 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:
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent = 2
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-do-not-require-.md-extensions-for-markdown-links*
+Do not require .md extensions for Markdown links ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown'
+
+ 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:
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown = 1
+<
+ This is super useful for GitLab and GitHub wiki repositories.
+
+ 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.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-auto-write-when-following-link*
+Auto-write when following link ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_autowrite*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_autowrite'
+
+ 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:
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_autowrite = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-change-default-file-extension*
+Change default file extension ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext'
+
+ If you would like to use a file extension other than '.md' you may do so
+ using the 'vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext' variable:
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext = 'txt'
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-do-not-automatically-insert-bulletpoints*
+Do not automatically insert bulletpoints ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_auto_insert_bullets*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_auto_insert_bullets'
+
+ Automatically inserting bulletpoints can lead to problems when wrapping
+ text (see issue #232 for details), so it can be disabled:
+>
+ 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:
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-markdown-change-how-to-open-new-files*
+Change how to open new files ~
+
+ *g:vim_markdown_edit_url_in*
+- 'g:vim_markdown_edit_url_in'
+
+ 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:
+>
+ let g:vim_markdown_edit_url_in = 'tab'
+<
===============================================================================
*vim-markdown-mappings*
Mappings ~
The following work on normal and visual modes:
- *gx*
+ *vim-markdown-gx*
- 'gx': open the link under the cursor in the same browser as the standard
'gx' command. '<Plug>Markdown_OpenUrlUnderCursor'
<
Known limitation: does not work for links that span multiple lines.
- *]]*
+ *vim-markdown-ge*
+- 'ge': open the link under the cursor in Vim for editing. Useful for
+ relative markdown links. '<Plug>Markdown_EditUrlUnderCursor'
+
+ The rules for the cursor position are the same as the 'gx' command.
+
+ *vim-markdown-]]*
- ']]': go to next header. '<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextHeader'
- *[[*
+ *vim-markdown-[[*
- '[[': go to previous header. Contrast with ']c'.
'<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousHeader'
- *][*
+ *vim-markdown-][*
- '][': go to next sibling header if any.
'<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextSiblingHeader'
- *[]*
+ *vim-markdown-[]*
- '[]': go to previous sibling header if any.
'<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousSiblingHeader'
- *]c*
+ *vim-markdown-]c*
- ']c': go to Current header. '<Plug>Markdown_MoveToCurHeader'
- *]u*
+ *vim-markdown-]u*
- ']u': go to parent header (Up). '<Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader'
This plugin follows the recommended Vim plugin mapping interface, so to change
- ':Toct': Same as ':Toc' but in a new tab.
*:Tocv*
-- ':Tocv': Same as ':Toc' for symmetry with ':Toch' and 'Tocv'.
+- ':Tocv': Same as ':Toc' for symmetry with ':Toch' and ':Tocv'.
