Quick tip which force vim to recognize .md files as Markdown formatted files:

  • create, if not exists, the needed directory 
    mkdir -p ~/.vim/ftdetect/
  • create the file ~/.vim/ftdetect/markdown.vim with this content 
    autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.md,*.mkdn,*.markdown :set filetype=markdown

Done.
