Vim Markdown

Build Status

Syntax highlighting, matching rules and mappings for the original Markdown and extensions.

Installation

If you use Vundle, add the following line to your ~/.vimrc:

Plugin 'godlygeek/tabular'
Plugin 'plasticboy/vim-markdown'

The tabular plugin must come before vim-markdown.

Then run inside Vim:

:so ~/.vimrc
:PluginInstall

If you use Pathogen, do this:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git

To install without Pathogen using the Debian vim-addon-manager, do this:

git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git
cd vim-markdown
sudo make install
vim-addon-manager install mkd

If you are not using any package manager, download the tarball and do this:

cd ~/.vim
tar --strip=1 -zxf vim-markdown-master.tar.gz

Options

Disable Folding

Add the following line to your .vimrc to disable the folding configuration:

let g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled=1

This option only controls Vim Markdown specific folding configuration.

To enable/disable folding use Vim's standard folding configuration.

set [no]foldenable

Disable Default Key Mappings

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.

Syntax extensions

The following options control which syntax extensions will be turned on. They are off by default.

LaTeX math

Used as $x^2$, $$x^2$$, escapable as \$x\$ and \$\$x\$\$.

let g:vim_markdown_math=1

YAML frontmatter

Highlight YAML frontmatter as used by Jekyll:

let g:vim_markdown_frontmatter=1

Mappings

The following work on normal and visual modes:

  • ]]: go to next header. <Plug>(Markdown_MoveToNextHeader)
  • [[: go to previous header. Contrast with ]c. <Plug>(Markdown_MoveToPreviousHeader)
  • ][: go to next sibling header if any. <Plug>(Markdown_MoveToNextSiblingHeader)
  • []: go to previous sibling header if any. <Plug>(Markdown_MoveToPreviousSiblingHeader)
  • ]c: go to Current header. <Plug>(Markdown_MoveToCurHeader)
  • ]u: go to parent header (Up). <Plug>(Markdown_MoveToParentHeader)

Commands

  • :HeaderDecrease:

    Decrease level of all headers in buffer: h2 to h1, h3 to h2, etc.

    If range is given, only operate in the range.

    If an h1 would be decreased, abort.

    For simplicity of implementation, Setex headers are converted to Atx.

  • :HeaderIncrease: Analogous to :HeaderDecrease, but increase levels instead.

  • :SetexToAtx:

    Convert all Setex style headers in buffer to Atx.

    If a range is given, e.g. hit : from visual mode, only operate on the range.

  • :TableFormat: Format the table under the cursor like this.

    Requires Tabular.

    The input table must already have a separator line as the second line of the table. That line only needs to contain the correct pipes |, nothing else is required.

  • :Toc: create a quickfix vertical window navigable table of contents with the headers.

    Hit <Enter> on a line to jump to the corresponding line of the markdown file.

  • :Toch: Same as :Toc but in an horizontal window.

  • :Toct: Same as :Toc but in a new tab.

  • :Tocv: Same as :Toc for symmetry with :Toch and Tocv.
