Intro *vimwiki-intro* Vimwiki is a personal wiki for Vim -- a number of linked text files that have their own syntax highlighting. With Vimwiki you can: - organize notes and ideas - manage todo-lists - write documentation - maintain a diary - export everything to HTML To do a quick start press ww (this is usually \ww) to go to your index wiki file. By default it is located in ~/vimwiki/index.wiki Feed it with the following example: = My knowledge base = * Tasks -- things to be done _yesterday_!!! * Project Gutenberg -- good books are power. * Scratchpad -- various temporary stuff. Place your cursor on 'Tasks' and press Enter to create a link. Once pressed, 'Tasks' will become '[[Tasks]]' -- a Vimwiki link. Press Enter again to open it. Edit the file, save it, and then press Backspace to jump back to your index. A Vimwiki link can be constructed from more than one word. Just visually select the words to be linked and press Enter. Try it with 'Project Gutenberg'. The result should look something like: = My knowledge base = * [[Tasks]] -- things to be done _yesterday_!!! * [[Project Gutenberg]] -- good books are power. * Scratchpad -- various temporary stuff. ============================================================================== 2. Prerequisites *vimwiki-prerequisites* Make sure you have these settings in your vimrc file: > set nocompatible filetype plugin on syntax on Without them Vimwiki will not work properly. ============================================================================== 3. Mappings *vimwiki-mappings* There are global and local mappings in Vimwiki. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.1. Global mappings *vimwiki-global-mappings* [count]ww or VimwikiIndex Open index file of the [count]'s wiki. ww opens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 1ww as above, opens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2ww opens the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3ww opens the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. To remap: > :nmap w VimwikiIndex < See also |:VimwikiIndex| [count]wt or VimwikiTabIndex Open index file of the [count]'s wiki in a new tab. wt tabopens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 1wt as above tabopens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2wt tabopens the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3wt tabopens the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. To remap: > :nmap t VimwikiTabIndex < See also |:VimwikiTabIndex| ws or VimwikiUISelect List and select available wikis.

Local mappings To remap one of these keys, either put it in your .vimrc like this > :nmap wc Vimwiki2HTML or, the better way, put it in a file .vim/ftplugin/vimwiki.vim like this > :nmap wc Vimwiki2HTML The latter has the advantage that the mapping is local to Vimwiki buffers in every case. Also note that some keys work in normal mode as well as in visual mode. If you remap them using :map, they will also run in operator-pending mode. If you don't want that, use > :nmap tt VimwikiToggleListItem :vmap tt VimwikiToggleListItem NORMAL MODE *vimwiki-local-mappings* *vimwiki_wh* wh Convert current wiki page to HTML.

Default CSS file (style.css) is created if there is no one. *:VimwikiToggleListItem* Toggle checkbox of a list item on/off. See |vimwiki-todo-lists|. *:VimwikiToggleRejectedListItem* Toggle checkbox of a list item disabled/off. See |vimwiki-todo-lists|. *:VimwikiListChangeLevel* CMD Change the nesting level, or symbol, for a single-line list item. CMD may be ">>" or "<<" to change the indentation of the item, or one of the syntax-specific bullets: "*", "#", "1.", "-". See |vimwiki-todo-lists|. *:VimwikiSearch* /pattern/ *:VWS* /pattern/ Search for /pattern/ in all files of current wiki. To display all matches use |:lopen| command. To display next match use |:lnext| command. To display previous match use |:lprevious| command. Hint: this feature is simply a wrapper around |:lvimgrep|. For a description of how the pattern can look like, see |:vimgrep|. For example, to do a case insensitive search, use > :VWS /\cpattern/ *:VimwikiBacklinks* *:VWB* Search for wikilinks to the current wiki page in all files of current wiki. To display all matches use |:lopen| command. To display next match use |:lnext| command. To display previous match use |:lprevious| command. *:VimwikiTable* Create a table with 5 cols and 2 rows. :VimwikiTable cols rows Create a table with the given cols and rows :VimwikiTable cols Create a table with the given cols and 2 rows *:VimwikiTableMoveColumnLeft* , *:VimwikiTableMoveColumnRight* Move current column to the left or to the right: Example: > | head1 | head2 | head3 | head4 | head5 | |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | value1 | value2 | value3 | value4 | value5 | Cursor is on 'head1'. :VimwikiTableMoveColumnRight | head2 | head1 | head3 | head4 | head5 | |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | value2 | value1 | value3 | value4 | value5 | Cursor is on 'head3'. :VimwikiTableMoveColumnLeft | head2 | head3 | head1 | head4 | head5 | |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | value2 | value3 | value1 | value4 | value5 | < Commands are mapped to and respectively. *:VimwikiGenerateLinks* Insert the links of all available wiki files into the current buffer. *:VimwikiDiaryGenerateLinks* Delete old, insert new diary section into diary index file. *:VimwikiDiaryNextDay* Open next day diary link if available. Mapped to . *:VimwikiDiaryPrevDay* Open previous day diary link if available. Mapped to . *:VimwikiTOC* Create or update the Table of Contents for the current wiki file. See |vimwiki-toc|. *:VimwikiCheckLinks* Search through all wiki files and check if the targets of all wiki links and links to external files actually exist. Check also if all wiki files are reachable from the index file. The results are shown in the quickfix window. *:VimwikiRebuildTags* Rebuilds the tags metadata file for all wiki files newer than the metadata file. Necessary for all tags related commands: |vimwiki-syntax-tags|. :VimwikiRebuildTags! does the same for all files. *:VimwikiSearchTags* Searches over the pages in current wiki and finds all locations of a given tag. Supports |cmdline-completion|. *:VimwikiGenerateTags* tagname1 tagname2 ... Creates or updates an overview on all tags of the wiki with links to all their instances. Supports |cmdline-completion|. If no arguments (tags) are specified, outputs all tags. To make this command work properly, make sure the tags have been built (see |vimwiki-build-tags|). ============================================================================== 5. Wiki syntax *vimwiki-syntax* There are a lot of different wikis out there. Most of them have their own syntax and Vimwiki is not an exception here. Vimwiki has evolved its own syntax that closely resembles Google's wiki markup. This syntax is described in detail below. Vimwiki also supports alternative syntaxes, like Markdown and MediaWiki, to varying degrees; see |vimwiki-option-syntax|. Static elements like headers, quotations, and lists are customized in syntax/vimwiki_xxx.vim, where xxx stands for the chosen syntax. Interactive elements such as links and Vimwiki commands are supported by definitions and routines in syntax/vimwiki_xxx_custom.vim and autoload/vimwiki/xxx_base.vim. Currently, only Markdown includes this level of support. Vimwiki2HTML is currently functional only for the default syntax. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.1. Typefaces *vimwiki-syntax-typefaces* There are a few typefaces that give you a bit of control over how your text is decorated: > *bold text* _italic text_ ~~strikeout text~~ `code (no syntax) text` super^script^ sub,,script,, For Markdown syntax these variations are used: > **bold text** or __bold text__ *italic text* or _italic text_ ***bold_italic text*** or ___italic_bold text___ Furthermore, there are a number of words which are highlighted extra flashy: TODO, DONE, STARTED, FIXME, FIXED, XXX. When rendered as HTML, code blocks containing only a hash prefixed 6 digit hex number will be colored as themselves. For example > `#ffe119` Becomes > #ffe119 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.2. Links *vimwiki-syntax-links* Wikilinks~ Plain link: > [[This is a link]] With description: > [[This is a link source|Description of the link]] Wiki files don't need to be in the root directory of your wiki, you can put them in subdirectories as well: > [[projects/Important Project 1]] To jump from that file back to the index file, use this link: > [[../index]] or: > [[/index]] The latter works because wiki links starting with "/" are considered to be absolute to the wiki root directory, that is, the link [[/index]] always opens the file /path/to/your/wiki/index.wiki, no matter in which subdirectory you are currently in. Links to subdirectories inside the wiki directory are also supported. They end with a "/": > [[a subdirectory/|Other files]] Use |g:vimwiki_dir_link| to control the behavior when opening directories. Typing wikilinks can be simplified by using Vim's omni completion (see |compl-omni|) like so: > [[ind

which opens up a popup menu with all the wiki files starting with "ind". When |vimwiki-option-maxhi| equals 1, a distinct highlighting style is used to identify wikilinks whose targets are not found. Interwiki~ If you maintain more than one wiki, you can create interwiki links between them by adding a numbered prefix "wikiX:" in front of a link: > [[wiki1:This is a link]] or: > [[wiki1:This is a link source|Description of the link]] The number behind "wiki" is in the range 0..N-1 and identifies the destination wiki in |g:vimwiki_list|. Diary~ The "diary:" scheme is used to link to diary entries: > [[diary:2012-03-05]] Anchors~ A wikilink, interwiki link or diary link can be followed by a '#' and the name of an anchor. When opening a link, the cursor jumps to the anchor. > [[Todo List#Tomorrow|Tasks for tomorrow]] To jump inside the current wiki file you can omit the file: > [[#Tomorrow]] See |vimwiki-anchors| for how to set an anchor. Raw URLs~ Raw URLs are also supported: > https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki.git mailto:habamax@gmail.com ftp://vim.org External files~ The "file:" and "local:" schemes allow you to directly link to arbitrary resources using absolute or relative paths: > [[file:/home/somebody/a/b/c/music.mp3]] [[file:C:/Users/somebody/d/e/f/music.mp3]] [[file:~/a/b/c/music.mp3]] [[file:../assets/data.csv|Important Data]] [[local:C:/Users/somebody/d/e/f/music.mp3]] [[file:/home/user/documents/|Link to a directory]] These links are opened with the system command, i.e. !xdg-open (Linux), !open (Mac), or !start (Windows). To customize this behavior, see |VimwikiLinkHandler|. In Vim, "file:" and "local:" behave the same, i.e. you can use them with both relative and absolute links. When converted to HTML, however, "file:" links will become absolute links, while "local:" links become relative to the HTML output directory. The latter can be useful if you copy your HTML files to another computer. To customize the HTML conversion of links, see |VimwikiLinkConverter|. Transclusion (Wiki-Include) Links~ Links that use "{{" and "}}" delimiters signify content that is to be included into the HTML output, rather than referenced via hyperlink. Wiki-include URLs may use any of the supported schemes, may be absolute or relative, and need not end with an extension. The primary purpose for wiki-include links is to include images. Transclude from a local URL: > {{file:../../images/vimwiki_logo.png}} or from a universal URL: > {{http://vimwiki.googlecode.com/hg/images/vimwiki_logo.png}} Transclude image with alternate text: > {{http://vimwiki.googlecode.com/hg/images/vimwiki_logo.png|Vimwiki}} in HTML: > Vimwiki

Transclude image with alternate text and some style: > {{http://.../vimwiki_logo.png|cool stuff|style="width:150px;height:120px;"}} in HTML: >

Transclude image _without_ alternate text and with a CSS class: > {{http://.../vimwiki_logo.png||class="center flow blabla"}} in HTML: >

A trial feature allows you to supply your own handler for wiki-include links. See |VimwikiWikiIncludeHandler|. Thumbnail links~ > Thumbnail links are constructed like this: > [[http://someaddr.com/bigpicture.jpg|{{http://someaddr.com/thumbnail.jpg}}]] in HTML: >

 def hello(world):
     for x in range(10):
         print("Hello {0} number {1}".format(world, x))

): > ---- < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.12. Tags *vimwiki-syntax-tags* You can tag a wiki file, a header or an arbitrary place in a wiki file. Then, you can use Vim's built-in tag search functionality (see |tagsrch.txt|) or Vimwiki's tag related commands to quickly jump to all occurrences of the tag. A tag is a sequence of non-space characters between two colons: > :tag-example: < It is allowed to concatenate multiple tags in one line: > :tag-one:tag-two: < If placed in the first two lines of a file, the whole file is tagged. If placed under a header, within the 2 lines below it, the header is then tagged with this tag, and the tag search commands will jump to this specific header. Otherwise, the tag stands of its own and the search command jumps directly to it. Typing tags can be simplified by using Vim's omni completion (see |compl-omni|) like so: > :ind
