This is the development version of Vim's included syntax highlighting and filetype plugins for Markdown. Generally you don't need to install these if you are running a recent version of Vim.
One difference between this repository and the upstream files in Vim is that
the former forces *.md
as Markdown, while the latter detects it as Modula-2,
with an exception for README.md
. If you'd like to force Markdown without
installing from this repository, add the following to your vimrc:
autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPost *.md set filetype=markdown
If you want to enable fenced code block syntax highlighting in your markdown
documents you can enable it in your .vimrc
like so:
let g:markdown_fenced_languages = ['html', 'python', 'bash=sh']
