Make commands available on files that aren't .md

[leliamesteban]

I spent quite a while figuring out why Vim didn't recognise any of the commands this plugin uses until I realised they only work if the current file has the .md limitation.

Is this a hard requirement? What settings can I modify so that it works on other files?

For example, I use markdeep which uses the file extension .md.html

Thank you for any help

It is not linked to the file extension, it has to do with the filetype that vim detects. Right now this plugin is set to inject the extra commands whenever either markdown or pandoc file types are detected. I don't see any vim support for markdeep as a file type, otherwise we could probably add it to the plugin by default. In the mean time if the ft value is something you are setting manually then you could add support for this plugin by adding a symlink in the ftplugin directory after this plugin is installed linking markdeep to markdown much like the existing pandoc link.

Alternatively if you are not actually setting the ft at all in vim and it thinks you are editing html files, then you could just set that to markdown manually:

:set ft=markdown
