Vim Markdown Extras

by Matthew Lyon matthew@lyonheart.us

Support for various markdown extras that enhance your existing markdown syntax.

Enhance, not replace

While looking for vim syntax support for things like MultiMarkdown or CriticMarkup, instead of enhancements that augmented an existing markdown syntax file, I instead found ones that either replaced the existing syntax file or required the use of custom extensions and used non-standard file types.

If you work with more than one of these extensions or other tools that require an extension such as .md or .markdown, those solutions are unworkable.

Thankfully, vim allows for syntax augmentation through /syntax/after. This plugin is a collection of syntax declarations that work with your existing markdown syntax to provide highlight groups for non-standard markdown enhancements.

Currently Supported

MultiMarkdown:

• Syntax Highlighting
  • Tables
  • Footnote Delimiters

CriticMarkup, Extensions for Collaboration:

• Syntax Highlighting
  • Additions
  • Deletions
  • Substitutions
  • Highlights
  • Comments

Coming Soon

• MultiMarkdown definition lists, etc
• Snippets for working with tables, critic Markup
• functions for workflow with critic markup
