There are plenty of tools to make your.markdown or.md files in a html way- but is there a vim plugin that would make it more automated and integrated? Let's answer this question, shall. Grip is a command-line server application written in Python that uses the GitHub markdown API to render a local readme file. The styles come directly from GitHub, so you'll know exactly how it will appear. Changes you make to the Readme will be instantly reflected in the browser without requiring a.
Org-mode is my markup of choice. I spend the vast majority of my time workingon text files working in org-mode. Since GitHUb started renderingorg-mode files in their site I've also used org-mode for things likeReadme files in my projects. I even force it on my students attimes. When I make an assignment, I seed it with an org-mode file thatthey have to modify - that is - fill in things like their names, groupmembers etc.
That said, sometimes I have to work in plain old markdown. This isalmost always when I'm working on something collaboratively and moreoften than not it's documentation on a project living on GitHub.

So, given that I have to work with Markdown, time to use some Emacsmagic to make it easy and fun.
To start, Emacs has a markdown mode along with a bunch of previewingand rendering modes. I settled on grip mode.

What is Markdown?
Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.
You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:
- Comments in Issues and Pull Requests
- Files with the
.mdor.markdownextension

GitHub Flavored Markdown
GitHub.com uses its own version of the Markdown syntax that provides an additional set of useful features, many of which make it easier to work with content on GitHub.com.
Note that some features of GitHub Flavored Markdown are only available in the descriptions and comments of Issues and Pull Requests. These include @mentions as well as references to SHA-1 hashes, Issues, and Pull Requests. Task Lists are also available in Gist comments and in Gist Markdown files.
Syntax highlighting
Here’s an example of how you can use syntax highlighting with GitHub Flavored Markdown:

You can also simply indent your code by four spaces:
Here’s an example of Python code without syntax highlighting:
Task Lists
Grip Markdown Windows
If you include a task list in the first comment of an Issue, you will get a handy progress indicator in your issue list. It also works in Pull Requests!
Tables
You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:
Would become:
| First Header | Second Header |
|---|---|
| Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2 |
| Content in the first column | Content in the second column |
SHA references
Any reference to a commit’s SHA-1 hash will be automatically converted into a link to that commit on GitHub.
Issue references within a repository
Any number that refers to an Issue or Pull Request will be automatically converted into a link.
Username @mentions
Typing an @ symbol, followed by a username, will notify that person to come and view the comment. This is called an “@mention”, because you’re mentioning the individual. You can also @mention teams within an organization.
Automatic linking for URLs
Any URL (like http://www.github.com/) will be automatically converted into a clickable link.
Strikethrough
Any word wrapped with two tildes (like ~~this~~) will appear crossed out.
