Description

pandoc-sections.vim provides the section motions [[ ]] [] and ][ and text objects i]] i][ a]] a][ I][ and A][. These motions and text objects account for both Setext (= and -) as well as ATX-style (# , ## , etc.) headings.

Installation

Using a plug-in manager

I use NeoBundle:

NeoBundle 'gbgar/pandoc-sections.vim',

Manually

Retrieve pandoc-sections.vim and copy it to ~/.vim/ftplugins/pandoc/pandoc-sections.vim.

Set pandoc filetype association (Optional)

If you wish, add an autocommand to associate a filetype with pandoc in your vimrc or in $VIMFILES/ftdetect/pandoc.vim. For example:

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.pdk set filetype=pandoc

Mappings

Motions

]] Skip forward one primary section header.

[[ Skip backward one primary section header.

][ Skip forward one section header in the second through sixth levels.

[] Skip backward one section header in the second through sixth levels.

Text Objects

Section text objects operate/select upon primary and secondary through sixth-level sections. Two types of section objects are available: simple and advanced.

Primary section objects work in any location, but with the addition of advanced text objects, the lower-level objects only function within lower-level headings. This is to prevent odd jumping behavior when lower-level text objects were used in an exclusively first-level heading.

Simple Text Objects Simple text objects operate

Simple text objects operate strictly within or on the title of the current subheading and without reference to hierarchy.

i]] Inner primary section header.

i][ Inner secondary through sixth-level header.

a]] All of primary header.

a][ All of secondary through sixth-level header.

Advanced Text-Objects

"Advanced" text objects operate with reference to header hierarchy. For example, an advanced section text object will operate on a third-level heading and any fourth-level through sixth-level headings beneath, until the bottom or a first- through third-level heading is reached.

I][ Hierarchy-aware inner secondary through sixth-level header.

A][ Hierarchy-aware all of secondary through sixth-level header.
