### Disable Folding
- Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable the folding configuration:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled = 1
- ```
+ Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable the folding configuration:
- This option only controls Vim Markdown specific folding configuration.
+ let g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled = 1
- To enable/disable folding use Vim's standard folding configuration.
+ This option only controls Vim Markdown specific folding configuration.
- ```vim
- 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`:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonic`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonic = 1
- ```
+ To fold in a style like [python-mode](https://github.com/klen/python-mode), add the following to your `.vimrc`:
- Level 1 heading which is served as a document title is not folded.
- `g:vim_markdown_folding_level` setting is not active with this fold style.
+ let g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonic = 1
- To prevent foldtext from being set add the following to your `.vimrc`:
+ Level 1 heading which is served as a document title is not folded.
+ `g:vim_markdown_folding_level` setting is not active with this fold style.
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_override_foldtext = 0
- ```
+ - `g:vim_markdown_override_foldtext`
+
+ To prevent foldtext from being set add the following to your `.vimrc`:
+
+ let g:vim_markdown_override_foldtext = 0
### Set header folding level
- Folding level is a number between 1 and 6. By default, if not specified, it is set to 1.
+ - `g:vim_markdown_folding_level`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 6
- ```
+ Folding level is a number between 1 and 6. By default, if not specified, it is set to 1.
- Tip: it can be changed on the fly with:

- ```vim
- :let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 1
- :edit
- ```

- ```
+ Add the following line to your `.vimrc` to disable default key mappings:
+
+ let g:vim_markdown_no_default_key_mappings = 1
- You can also map them by yourself with `<Plug>` mappings.
+ 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.
+ - `g:vim_markdown_toc_autofit`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_toc_autofit = 1

+
+ 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 (i.e., for it to be applied a closing token must be found on the same line). To do so:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline = 0
- ```

### Syntax Concealing
- Concealing is set for some syntax.
+ - `g:vim_markdown_conceal`
- For example, conceal `[link text](link url)` as just `link text`.
- Also, `_italic_` and `*italic*` will conceal to just _italic_.
- Similarly `__bold__`, `**bold**`, `___italic bold___`, and `***italic bold***`
- will conceal to just __bold__, **bold**, ___italic bold___, and ***italic bold*** respectively.

- ```
+ To disable math conceal with LaTeX math syntax enabled, add the following to your `.vimrc`:

### Fenced code block 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:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages = ['csharp=cs']
- ```
+ 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:
- This will cause the following to be highlighted using the `cs` filetype syntax.
+ let g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages = ['csharp=cs']
- ```csharp
- ...
- ```
+ This will cause the following to be highlighted using the `cs` filetype syntax.
- Default is `['c++=cpp', 'viml=vim', 'bash=sh', 'ini=dosini']`.
+ ```csharp
+ ...
+ ```
+
+ Default is `['c++=cpp', 'viml=vim', 'bash=sh', 'ini=dosini']`.
### Follow named anchors
- 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:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_follow_anchor`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_follow_anchor = 1
- ```
+ 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:
- 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.
+ let g:vim_markdown_follow_anchor = 1
- Default is `0`.

- ```vim

- ```
+ Default is `0`.
- 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>>`.
+ - `g:vim_markdown_anchorexpr`

### Adjust new list item indent
- You can adjust a new list indent. For example, you insert a single line like below:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent`
- ```
- * item1
- ```
+ You can adjust a new list indent. For example, you insert a single line like below:
- Then if you type `o` to insert new line in vim and type `* item2`, the result will be:
+ * item1
- ```
- * item1
- * item2
- ```
+ Then if you type `o` to insert new line in vim and type `* item2`, the result will be:
- 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:
+ * item1
+ * item2
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indent = 2
- ```

### 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:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown = 1
- ```
- This is super useful for GitLab and GitHub wiki repositories.

+ let g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdown = 1
- 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.

### 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:

### 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:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext`
- ```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:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_auto_insert_bullets`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_auto_insert_bullets = 0
- ```
+ Automatically inserting bulletpoints can lead to problems when wrapping text
+ (see issue #232 for details), so it can be disabled:
- 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:
+ - `g:vim_markdown_edit_url_in`
- ```vim
- let g:vim_markdown_edit_url_in = 'tab'
