Vim Markdown runtime files

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

To enable fenced code block syntax highlighting in your markdown documents, add the following to your .vimrc:

let g:markdown_fenced_languages = ['html', 'python', 'bash=sh']

Note: The fenced language names must be valid names of syntax files in vim's syntax folder. For example: syntax/ruby.vim.

To disable markdown syntax concealing, add the following to your .vimrc:

let g:markdown_syntax_conceal = 0

Syntax highlighting is synchronized in 50 lines. This may cause collapsed highlighting on large fenced code blocks. In that case, set g:markdown_minlines to a larger value in your .vimrc:

let g:markdown_minlines = 100

Note: Setting g:markdown_minlines to a value that is too large value may cause poor highlighting performance.

To enable folding, add the following to your .vimrc:

let g:markdown_folding = 1
