Vim-Flavored-Markdown

Add-on to Tim Pope's markdown.vim to highlight using Github Flavored Markdown.

a syntax plugin that extends the Tim Pope's markdown syntax file to recognize github code blocks like:

```yourLanguage
Some code
```

It also colors markdownCode blocks and in-lines as String, so they are more easily differentiable in your code.

Finally, it no longer highlights multiple underscores, i.e.:

_this_gets_highlighted_
but_this_does_not

Install

Best way - use Pathogen

If you use Pathogen, you can just clone this into your bundles

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git:https://github.com/jtratner/vim-flavored-markdown.git

Otherwise, copy the file to your syntax folder

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jtratner/vim-flavored-markdown/master/syntax/ghmarkdown.vim -o ~/.vim/syntax/ghmarkdown.vim

Use flavored-markdown by default

Add the following autocmd to your .vimrc:

augroup markdown
    au!
    au BufNewFile,BufRead *.md,*.markdown setlocal filetype=ghmarkdown
augroup END

See it in action

After installing, open up this readme, and you'll see fenced awesomeness.
