From: Richard Fletcher Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2016 11:13:45 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Option to not require .md extensions in markdown links X-Git-Url: https://git.madduck.net/etc/vim.git/commitdiff_plain/ea1da3bd284f6f54b5421b757264155cc0ad138a?hp=--cc Option to not require .md extensions in markdown links Gitlab uses markdown in an interesting way. If you want to create a link to the page "linked-to-page" you might do this: [Linked To Page Title](linked-to-page) And not, [Linked To Page Title](linked-to-page.md) This change is about having the "ge" command work on wiki links constructed in this way, and provides consistency between how gitlab works and vim-markdown works. The default behaviour is not affected. --- ea1da3bd284f6f54b5421b757264155cc0ad138a diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 9c6665e..c1289f5 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -219,6 +219,17 @@ vim-markdown automatically insert the indent.
