For documentation about the markdown syntax, see [[formatting]] and
[Markdown: syntax](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax). A
[markdown mode](http://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/) for
-emacs can help in editing, as can this
-[syntax file](http://plasticboy.com/markdown-vim-mode/) for vim.
+emacs can help in editing, as can the [[vim_syntax_highlighting]] file.
Note that [[WikiLinks|WikiLink]] and [[directives|directive]] are not part
of the markdown syntax, and are the only bit of markup that this wiki
I am currently modifying the [[contrib/highlightcode]] plugin by [[sabr]] and I wanted to have a different behavior depending on the fact that the htmlize hook is called from a format directive or not. For instance, this could disable the raw copy of the highlighted code. Since I have enabled the keepextension option, I tried to rely on the page extension to decide whenever I have to create the raw file or not but this does not seems a reliable approach.
One possible solution is to add an optional parameter to the htmlize hook (and thus to htmlize function in IkiWiki.pm) which could tell if this is the format directive that called the function but I am not sure that is a good way to do this.

I'm going to look at merging this with potwiki.vim (a vim-based personal wiki) so that you can follow wiki-links and auto-create pages etc., direct from vim. (I'm writing this incase I don't get around to it) -- [[JonDowland]]

+In my tests, [[ikiwiki.vim]] works better than that one, YMMV. --[[Joey]]
