I am using tpope's vim-markdown plugin to edit markdown files. Somehow, neovim hides the _ and * chars and changes the text in between to italic or bold depending on quantity of chars. I want to see these chars. How do I configure neovim or vim-markdown to not hide the chars? (note, I looked for vim-markdown help and there is none)

  • In this case, I am not sure if it is neovim or vim-markdown question.

Those chars are hidden because the conceal feature as you can see on the vim-markdown source.

You can adjust how to this feature is applied to text using the option conceallevel. Setting it to 0 will always show the text.

:set conceallevel=0

  • I added the following line to my .vimrc file autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.md set conceallevel=0, but it does not apply, why? I wonder if some plugin changes it after the autocmd does, unless I am not setting it correctly.

  • The same as @user1135541 here: set conceallevel=0 is ignored for json files. Is there a way to get which plugin causes that?
