I use markdown syntax in vimwiki.

Is that an option that's selected when vim is compiled, or is it standard 
regardless of the vim flavor?

Thanks, Chris,

My understanding is getting a little clearer. My primary use of markdown in 
vimwiki is to get folding on markdown headers. I have multimarkdown installed 
on my system, and understand that if were going to compile a markdown file I 
would need to use it. It would be to LaTeX rather than html, though.
