+**Disabling conceal for JSON and Markdown without disabling indentLine plugin**
+
+Even though this plugin requires conceal to be enabled for it to work, it is
+possible to disable conceal for JSON and Markdown files and still get the
+indentLine plugin to show indent lines for those files.
+
+Builtin [json.vim](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/syntax/json.vim)
+and [markdown.vim](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/syntax/markdown.vim)
+syntax allow disabling conceal by setting the following vars:
+
+* JSON
+```vim
+let g:vim_json_conceal=0
+```
+
+* Markdown
+```vim
+let g:markdown_syntax_conceal=0
+```
+
+If you use other syntax plugins for those file types, you will need to check
+their docs, as they may use different vars or have different ways to configure
+this.
+
 **Disable by default**
 ```vim
 let g:indentLine_enabled = 0
