The development version of Vim's built-in Markdown syntax highlighting and filetype plugins, maintained by Tim Pope. It provides Markdown language support in Vim, including optional syntax highlighting for fenced code blocks.

Use cases

  • get better markdown syntax highlighting in vim
  • highlight code blocks inside markdown files
  • customize markdown concealment in vim
  • keep vim's markdown runtime files up to date

When to choose

  • you want the latest Markdown runtime improvements before they ship in a Vim release
  • you need configurable fenced code block highlighting in Markdown

When to avoid

  • you run a recent Vim version, which already bundles these files
  • you use Neovim, which ships its own maintained Markdown runtime
