Package: vim-runtime Version: 2:8.0.1401-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello!
# Description of the issue File runtime/syntax/markdown.vim supports highlighting the markdown syntax, but fails to support a pair of useful extensions of the markdown language: the [TeX Math] inside dollars and the [YAML metadata] block. [TeX Math]: <http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#math> [YAML metadata]: <http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block> In order to correctly highlight markdown documents that use these extensions, file runtime/syntax/markdown.vim should be enhanced. # Proposed solution I prepared a patch (vaguely inspired to some suggestions and/or enhanced syntax/markdown.vim files found on the Internet) that imports the syntax highlighting rules for TeX and YAML and uses them within certain regions. You should find the patch attached to this bug report. Please apply it to the Debian package and/or forward it upstream, as appropriate. # Licensing considerations According to the debian/copyright file, it appears that runtime/syntax/markdown.vim is released under the Vim license. I am not sure my patch is creative enough to be copyrighted by me. Anyway, in case it is, I hereby release it under the same license as the original runtime/syntax/markdown.vim file, that is to say, under the Vim license. # Thanks I would like to thank you for maintaining the Debian package for Vim (and the upstream developer(s) for developing Vim itself). I hope my patch may be accepted soon. Thanks for your time!
