markdown2ctags 0.2.0

Generates ctags-compatible output for the sections of a Markdown document.

This application generates ctags-compatible output for the sections of a Markdown document.

The motivation was to have a tool fast enough to use with the TagBar plugin in Vim.

Using with TagBar

To use this tool with TagBar, add the following into your ~/.vimrc:

" Add support for markdown files in tagbar.
let g:tagbar_type_markdown = {
    \ 'ctagstype': 'markdown',
    \ 'ctagsbin' : '/path/to/markdown2ctags.py',
    \ 'ctagsargs' : '-f - --sort=yes',
    \ 'kinds' : [
        \ 's:sections',
        \ 'i:images'
    \ ],
    \ 'sro' : '|',
    \ 'kind2scope' : {
        \ 's' : 'section',
    \ },
    \ 'sort': 0,
\ }

You’ll need to have the TagBar plugin installed for this to work. Also, you make need to call the variable g:tagbar_type_mkd and change ctagstype to 'mkd' if you’re Ben William’s Markdown syntax highlighting script. It sets the file type to mkd whereas Tim Pope’s sets it to markdown.
