This is update on things I've tried and the results I got. The bottom line is I have what I was seeking. The files I was concerned about are recognized as markdown and I have markdown functionality.
Thanks to everyone who helped get me to the solution: Javier, Thilo, Tony, Gary, and Marcin. ========== Since my last post hear the developer of the plugin in question has provided a solution that is similar to one that's been suggested here, expect it was to be put in a new .vimrc that itself was to be put in the root directory of files created by the plugin. "to make soywiki files markdown autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile * set filetype=markdown At first I thought it was working. I got markdown syntax highlighting in the files but no folding on markdown headers, which I do have with markdown files defined elsewhere." Subsequently I tried two of the solutions suggested here, both involving putting commands in my regular .vimrc: ========== "another option for making soywiki files markdown autocmd BufEnter * if &filetype == "" | setlocal filetype=markdown | endif This gives me markdown syntax highlighting and folding on markdown headers on all my files, including those I've been concerned about, but not when opened by the plugin with which they were created. ========== "and still another option for making soywiki files markdown autocmd BufEnter */documents/soywiki/* setfiletype markdown I was going to report that this one gave the same results as the previous one, but when I tried it just now it works. I have markdown syntax highlighting and folding on markdown headers open by the plugin.
