How to enable vim-latex-suite plugin in markdown?

Question

In vim, the latex-suite plugin is for tex filetype. I want to apply the convenience of vim latex-suite plugin for markdown filetype. How can I do it?

EDIT: I want to use markdown syntax to take notes. But It's not convenient for me to type formula in the markdown file. It will be very convenient If the latex-suite macros/shortcuts can be used in markdown file(with the markdown highlight syntax).

What does "convenience" mean? Please be more specific. You certainly don't want to treat markdown files as Latex, because the syntax is different. — Ingo Karkat, Oct 26 '13 at 12:31
@IngoKarkat, I'm sorry for the vagueness. The question has been edited for better understand. — Libin Wen, Oct 27 '13 at 00:02
This question appears to be off-topic because it is about editing modes for LaTeX: probably better on tex.stackexchange.com ... — Ben Bolker, Mar 01 '14 at 20:07

In vim I set this

 :set ft=tex
 :set syntax=markdown

and then I have all the latex-suite macros and shortcuts working, while the syntax highlighting is set to markdown.

Great idea. Although the formula parts still have no highlights, it's good enough to quickly edit the formula! Thanks very much. – Libin Wen Feb 26 '14 at 00:13
