Syntax highlighting, matching rules and mappings for the original Markdown and extensions.
If you use Vundle, add the following lines to your ~/.vimrc:
Plugin 'godlygeek/tabular'
Plugin 'preservim/vim-markdown'The tabular plugin must come before vim-markdown.
Then run inside Vim:
:so ~/.vimrc
:PluginInstallIf you use Pathogen, do this:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/preservim/vim-markdown.gitTo install without Pathogen using the Debian vim-addon-manager, do this:
git clone https://github.com/preservim/vim-markdown.git
cd vim-markdown
sudo make install
vim-addon-manager install markdownIf you are using a package manager with semver support (like lazy.nvim) make sure you are following the master branch (see #616).
If you are not using any package manager, download the tarball and do this:
cd ~/.vim
tar --strip=1 -zxf vim-markdown-master.tar.gzFolding is enabled for headers by default.
The following commands are useful to open and close folds:
zr: reduces fold level throughout the bufferzR: opens all foldszm: increases fold level throughout the bufferzM: folds everything all the wayza: toggle a fold your cursor is onzA: toggle a fold your cursor is on recursivelyzo: open a fold your cursor is onzO: open a fold your cursor is on recursivelyzc: close a fold your cursor is onzC: 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.
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.
-
g:vim_markdown_folding_disabledAdd the following line to your
.vimrcto disable the folding configuration:let g:vim_markdown_folding_disabled = 1This option only controls Vim Markdown specific folding configuration.
To enable/disable folding use Vim's standard folding configuration.
set [no]foldenable
-
g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonicTo fold in a style like python-mode, add the following to your
.vimrc:let g:vim_markdown_folding_style_pythonic = 1g:vim_markdown_folding_levelsetting (default 1) is set tofoldlevel. Thus level 1 heading which is served as a document title is expanded by default. -
g:vim_markdown_override_foldtextTo prevent foldtext from being set add the following to your
.vimrc:let g:vim_markdown_override_foldtext = 0
-
g:vim_markdown_folding_levelFolding level is a number between 1 and 6. By default, if not specified, it is set to 1.
let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 6Tip: it can be changed on the fly with:
:let g:vim_markdown_folding_level = 1 :edit
-
g:vim_markdown_no_default_key_mappingsAdd the following line to your
.vimrcto disable default key mappings:let g:vim_markdown_no_default_key_mappings = 1You can also map them by yourself with
<Plug>mappings.
-
g:vim_markdown_toc_autofitAllow 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.
let g:vim_markdown_toc_autofit = 1
-
g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multilineBy 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:
let g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline = 0
-
g:vim_markdown_concealConcealing is set for some syntax.
For example, conceal
[link text](link url)as justlink 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 enable conceal use Vim's standard conceal configuration.
set conceallevel=2To disable conceal regardless of
conceallevelsetting, add the following to your.vimrc:let g:vim_markdown_conceal = 0To disable math conceal with LaTeX math syntax enabled, add the following to your
.vimrc:let g:tex_conceal = "" let g:vim_markdown_math = 1 -
g:vim_markdown_conceal_code_blocksDisabling conceal for code fences requires an additional setting:
let g:vim_markdown_conceal_code_blocks = 0
-
g:vim_markdown_fenced_languagesYou 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
.vimrclike so:let g:vim_markdown_fenced_languages = ['csharp=cs']This will cause the following to be highlighted using the
csfiletype syntax.```csharp ... ```Default is
['c++=cpp', 'viml=vim', 'bash=sh', 'ini=dosini'].
-
g:vim_markdown_follow_anchorThis feature allows the
gecommand to follow named anchors in links of the formfile#anchoror just#anchor, where file may omit the.mdextension as usual. Two variables control its operation:let g:vim_markdown_follow_anchor = 1This 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_anchorexprlet g:vim_markdown_anchorexpr = "'<<'.v:anchor.'>>'"This expression will be evaluated substituting
v:anchorwith 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-titleto searches of the formMy Section Titleor<<my-section-title>>.Default is
''.
The following options control which syntax extensions will be turned on. They are off by default.
-
g:vim_markdown_mathUsed as
$x^2$,$$x^2$$, escapable as\$x\$and\$\$x\$\$.let g:vim_markdown_math = 1
-
g:vim_markdown_frontmatterHighlight YAML front matter as used by Jekyll or Hugo.
let g:vim_markdown_frontmatter = 1
-
g:vim_markdown_toml_frontmatterHighlight TOML front matter as used by Hugo.
let g:vim_markdown_toml_frontmatter = 1
-
g:vim_markdown_json_frontmatterHighlight JSON front matter as used by Hugo.
let g:vim_markdown_json_frontmatter = 1
-
g:vim_markdown_strikethroughStrikethrough uses two tildes.
~~Scratch this.~~let g:vim_markdown_strikethrough = 1
-
g:vim_markdown_new_list_item_indentYou can adjust a new list indent. For example, you insert a single line like below:
* item1Then if you type
oto insert new line in vim and type* item2, the result will be:* item1 * item2vim-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
-
g:vim_markdown_no_extensions_in_markdownIf you want to have a link like this
[link text](link-url)and follow it for editing in vim using thegecommand, 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 = 1This 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.
-
g:vim_markdown_autowriteIf you follow a link like this
[link text](link-url)using thegeshortcut, this option will automatically save any edits you made before moving you:let g:vim_markdown_autowrite = 1
-
g:vim_markdown_auto_extension_extIf you would like to use a file extension other than
.mdyou may do so using thevim_markdown_auto_extension_extvariable:let g:vim_markdown_auto_extension_ext = 'txt'
-
g:vim_markdown_auto_insert_bulletsAutomatically 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 = 0In 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
-
g:vim_markdown_edit_url_inBy 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_invariable. Possible values aretab,vsplit,hsplit,currentopening 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'
-
g:vim_markdown_borderless_tableAdd support for borderless tables, such as:
header 1|header 2 --|-- data 1|data 2if set to
1:let g:vim_markdown_borderless_table = 1the table would be formatted as usual:
| header 1 | header 2 | |----------|----------| | data 1 | data 2 |
The following work on normal and visual modes:
-
gx: open the link under the cursor in the same browser as the standardgxcommand.<Plug>Markdown_OpenUrlUnderCursorThe standard
gxis extended by allowing you to put your cursor anywhere inside a link.For example, all the following cursor positions will work:
[Example](http://example.com) ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ 1 2 34 5 6 <http://example.com> ^ ^ ^ 1 2 3Known limitation: does not work for links that span multiple lines.
-
ge: open the link under the cursor in Vim for editing. Useful for relative markdown links. Falls back togfwith force editing, if not on a markdown link.<Plug>Markdown_EditUrlUnderCursorThe rules for the cursor position are the same as the
gxcommand. -
]]: go to next header.<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextHeader -
[[: go to previous header. Contrast with]h.<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousHeader -
][: go to next sibling header if any.<Plug>Markdown_MoveToNextSiblingHeader -
[]: go to previous sibling header if any.<Plug>Markdown_MoveToPreviousSiblingHeader -
]h: go to Current header.<Plug>Markdown_MoveToCurHeader -
]u: go to parent header (Up).<Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
This plugin follows the recommended Vim plugin mapping interface, so to change the map ]u to asdf, add to your .vimrc:
map asdf <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
To disable a map use:
map <Plug> <Plug>Markdown_MoveToParentHeader
The following requires :filetype plugin on.
-
:HeaderDecrease:Decrease level of all headers in buffer:
h2toh1,h3toh2, etc.If range is given, only operate in the range.
If an
h1would 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:Tocbut in an horizontal window. -
:Toct: Same as:Tocbut in a new tab. -
:Tocv: Same as:Tocfor symmetry with:Tochand:Tocv. -
:InsertToc: Insert table of contents at the current line.An optional argument can be used to specify how many levels of headers to display in the table of content, e.g., to display up to and including
h3, use:InsertToc 3. -
:InsertNToc: Same as:InsertToc, but the format ofh2headers in the table of contents is a numbered list, rather than a bulleted list.
