"   For highlighting pandoc extensions to markdown like citations and TeX and
"   many other advanced features like folding of markdown sections, it is
"   recommended to install the vim-pandoc filetype plugin as well as the
"   vim-pandoc-syntax filetype plugin from https://github.com/vim-pandoc.

" Add syntax highlighting of citation keys
