2 years ago Ah, well, I never intended for this plugin to be a Markdown plugin. This plugin, wiki-ft.vim, is a very lightweight syntax plugin that I made when I migrated from Vimwiki to what became wiki.vim. Initially it was part of wiki.vim, but then I made wiki.vim filetype agnostic. wiki-ft.vim was extracted because I still use the .wiki extension for my own wiki and I've found that the subset of Markdown that is provided here is sufficient for me for the wiki stuff.
But if you're already writing Markdown .md files, then I would think it is actually better to use a more dedicated filetype and syntax plugin. There are a lot of different ones out there, e.g.:
- https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc-syntax
- https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown
- https://github.com/gabrielelana/vim-markdown
- https://github.com/tpope/vim-markdown (this is the built-in filetype/syntax plugin)
I personally use plasticboy/vim-markdown myself for Markdown files, although I know the pandoc version should also work well.

The plugin does not work for me out of the box. Since I use
*.mdand*.Rmdas file extension the filetype for my wiki files ismarkdown.The command
let g:wiki_loaded=1does not activate the plugin for me.The following workaround work for me:
However, an option like
g:wiki_filetypeswould feel more natural for me:What do you think?
