description
This is a mirror of https://github.com/SidOfc/mkdx. The version there will always be up-to-date.

mkdx.vim is a markdown plugin that aims to reduce the time you spend formatting your markdown documents. It does this by adding some configurable mappings for files with a markdown filetype. Functions are included to handle lists, checkboxes (even lists of checkboxes!), fenced code blocks, shortcuts, headers and links. In addition to that, this plugin provides a mapping to convert a selection of CSV data to a markdown table. and well, lots more even! Visit :h mkdx or :h mkdx-helptags for more information.
 
install details
Plugin installation is possible using a package manager like Vundle (https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim) or Pathogen (https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen).
If you're downloading the ZIP, I'm just going to assume you know what you're doing and that it is exactly what you want to do, 21st century installation is always an option to fall back to :)
IMPORTANT: Github is updated more frequently, therefore I highly recommend using a package manager instead of doing a manual install, you could be missing some patches otherwise.
