Is it possible to make a specific section have a different syntax?

Question

I am working with markdown and writing snippets like:

    ```c
    int
    main()
    {
        return 0;
    }
    ```

It is highlighted as a code in vim.

However would it possible for the c section to have the syntax of a normal c file? I was checking out pyvim and it has such a feature.

Wondering if I can bring it in vim?

Upstream repo for the runtime files for markdown has a README which describes this. Add to your vimrc:

let g:markdown_fenced_languages = ['c']

Note, you can also use pasticboy/vim-markdown, which is more actively maintained. It might be more featureful. – Karl Yngve Lervåg Jan 14 '19 at 08:07
