## What it is
A Vim plugin providing Markdown syntax highlighting, matching rules, folding, concealing, and mappings for the original Markdown and extensions. It integrates with Vim and Neovim via common plugin managers.

## Use cases
- edit markdown files in vim with syntax highlighting
- fold markdown headers in vim
- conceal markdown bold and links
- navigate markdown headings with vim mappings
- markdown table formatting support in vim

## When to choose
- you write or edit Markdown in Vim or Neovim and want rich syntax support
- you need header folding and concealing for Markdown documents

## When to avoid
- you use a different editor than Vim/Neovim
- you need a Markdown renderer or preview tool rather than editing support

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: markdown, editor
- domain: text-editors, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vim, neovim, syntax-highlighting, folding, conceal
