# 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 ## License Copyright © Tim Pope.
