License |vimwiki-license| ============================================================================== 1. Intro *vimwiki* 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. 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 wikies.

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 viwiki 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. Maps to |:Vimwiki2HTML| To remap: > :nmap wc Vimwiki2HTML < *vimwiki_whh* whh Convert current wiki page to HTML and open it in webbrowser.

See |vimwiki-toc| ============================================================================== 5. Wiki syntax *vimwiki-syntax* There are a lot of different wikies out there. Most of them have their own syntax and vimwiki's default syntax 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 gives you a bit of control over how your text should be decorated: > *bold text* _italic text_ ~~strikeout text~~ `code (no syntax) text` super^script^ sub,,script,, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.2. Links *vimwiki-syntax-links* Wikilinks~ Link with spaces in it: > [[This is a link]] or: > [[This is a link source|Description of the link]] Links to directories (ending with a "/") are also supported: > [[/home/somebody/|Home Directory]] Use |g:vimwiki_dir_link| to control the behavior when opening directories. Raw URLs~ Raw URLs are also supported: > http://code.google.com/p/vimwiki mailto:habamax@gmail.com ftp://vim.org Anchors~ A URL can be followed by a '#' and the name of an anchor. When opening a link, Vimwiki then 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|. Markdown Links~ These links are only available for Markdown syntax. See http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#link. Inline link: > [Looks like this](URL) Image link: > ![Looks like this](URL) The URL can be anything recognized by vimwiki as a raw URL. Reference-style links: > a) [Link Name][Id] b) [Id][], using the "implicit link name" shortcut Reference style links must always include *two* consecutive pairs of [-brackets, and field entries can not use "[" or "]". NOTE: (in Vimwiki's current implementation) Reference-style links are a hybrid of Vimwiki's default "Wikilink" and the tradition reference-style link. If the Id is defined elsewhere in the source, as per the Markdown standard: > [Id]: URL then the URL is opened with the system default handler. Otherwise, Vimwiki treats the reference-style link as a Wikilink, interpreting the Id field as a wiki page name. Highlighting of existing links when |vimwiki-option-maxhi| is activated identifies links whose Id field is not defined, either as a reference-link or as a wiki page. To scan the page for new or changed definitions for reference-links, simply re-open the page ":e". 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". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.3. Headers *vimwiki-syntax-headers* = Header level 1 =~ By default all headers are highlighted using |hl-Title| highlight group. == Header level 2 ==~ You can set up different colors for each header level: > :hi VimwikiHeader1 guifg=#FF0000 :hi VimwikiHeader2 guifg=#00FF00 :hi VimwikiHeader3 guifg=#0000FF :hi VimwikiHeader4 guifg=#FF00FF :hi VimwikiHeader5 guifg=#00FFFF :hi VimwikiHeader6 guifg=#FFFF00 Set up colors for all 6 header levels or none at all. === Header level 3 ===~ ==== Header level 4 ====~ ===== Header level 5 =====~ ====== Header level 6 ======~ You can center your headers in HTML by placing spaces before the first '=': = Centered Header L1 =~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.4. Paragraphs *vimwiki-syntax-paragraphs* A paragraph is a group of lines starting in column 1 (no indentation). Paragraphs are separated by a blank line: This is first paragraph with two lines. This is a second paragraph with two lines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.5. Lists *vimwiki-syntax-lists* Unordered lists: > - Bulleted list item 1 - Bulleted list item 2 or: > • Bulleted list item 1 • Bulleted list item 2 or: > * Bulleted list item 1 * Bulleted list item 2 Ordered lists: > 1. Numbered list item 1 2. Numbered list item 2 3. Numbered list item 3 or: > 1) Numbered list item 1 2) Numbered list item 2 3) Numbered list item 3 or: > a) Numbered list item 1 b) Numbered list item 2 c) Numbered list item 3 or: > A) Numbered list item 1 B) Numbered list item 2 C) Numbered list item 3 or: > i) Numbered list item 1 ii) Numbered list item 2 iii) Numbered list item 3 or: > I) Numbered list item 1 II) Numbered list item 2 III) Numbered list item 3 or: > # Bulleted list item 1 ← will be converted to numbers in HTML # Bulleted list item 2 Note that a space after the list item symbols (-, *, 1. etc.) is essential. You can nest and mix the various types: > - Bulleted list item 1 - Bulleted list item 2 a) Numbered list sub item 1 b) more ... • and more ... • ... c) Numbered list sub item 3 1. Numbered list sub sub item 1 2. Numbered list sub sub item 2 d) etc. - Bulleted list item 3 List items can span multiple lines: > * Item 1 Item 1 continued line. Item 1 next continued line. * Item 2 - Sub item 1 Sub item 1 continued line. Sub item 1 next continued line. - Sub item 2 - etc. Continuation of Item 2 Next continuation of Item 2 Definition lists: > Term 1:: Definition 1 Term 2:: :: Definition 2 :: Definition 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.6. Tables *vimwiki-syntax-tables* Tables are created by entering the content of each cell separated by | delimiters. You can insert other inline wiki syntax in table cells, including typeface formatting and links. For example: > | Year | Temperature (low) | Temperature (high) | |------|-------------------|--------------------| | 1900 | -10 | 25 | | 1910 | -15 | 30 | | 1920 | -10 | 32 | | 1930 | _N/A_ | _N/A_ | | 1940 | -2 | 40 | > In HTML the following part > | Year | Temperature (low) | Temperature (high) | |------|-------------------|--------------------| > is higlighted as a table header. If you indent a table then it will be centered in HTML. If you set > in a cell, the cell spans the left column. If you set \/ in a cell, the cell spans the above row. For example: > | a | b | c | d | | \/ | e | > | f | | \/ | \/ | > | g | | h | > | > | > | > See |vimwiki-tables| for more details on how to manage tables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.7. Preformatted text *vimwiki-syntax-preformatted* Use {{{ and }}} to define a block of preformatted text: {{{ > Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare sieze the fire? }}} You can add optional information to {{{ tag: > {{{class="brush: python" > def hello(world): for x in range(10): print("Hello {0} number {1}".format(world, x)) }}} Result of HTML export: >

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

This might be useful for coloring program code with external js tools such as google's syntax highlighter. You can setup vimwiki to highlight code snippets in preformatted text. See |vimwiki-option-nested_syntaxes| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.8. Mathematical formulae *vimwiki-syntax-math* Mathematical formulae are highlighted, and can be rendered in HTML using the powerful open source display engine MathJax (http://www.mathjax.org/). There are three supported syntaxes, which are inline, block display and block environment. Inline math is for short formulae within text. It is enclosed by single dollar signs, e.g.: $ \sum_i a_i^2 = 1 $ Block display creates a centered formula with some spacing before and after it. It must start with a line including only {{$, then an arbitrary number of mathematical text are allowed, and it must end with a line including only }}$. E.g.: {{$ \sum_i a_i^2 = 1 }}$ Note: no matter how many lines are used in the text file, the HTML will compress it to *one* line only. Block environment is similar to block display, but is able to use specific LaTeX environments, such as 'align'. The syntax is the same as for block display, except for the first line which is {{$%environment%. E.g.: {{$%align% \sum_i a_i^2 &= 1 + 1 \\ &= 2. }}$ Similar compression rules for the HTML page hold (as MathJax interprets the LaTeX code). Note: the highlighting in VIM is automatic. For the rendering in HTML, you have two *alternative* options: 1. using the MathJax server for rendering (needs an internet connection). Add to your HTML template the following line: 2. installing MathJax locally (faster, no internet required). Choose a folder on your hard drive and save MathJax in it. Then add to your HTML template the following line: where is the folder on your HD, as a relative path to the template folder. For instance, a sensible folder structure could be: - wiki - text - html - templates - mathjax In this case, would be "../mathjax" (without quotes). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.9. Blockquotes *vimwiki-syntax-blockquotes* Text started with 4 or more spaces is a blockquote. This would be a blockquote in vimwiki. It is not highlighted in vim but could be styled by CSS in HTML. Blockquotes are usually used to quote a long piece of text from another source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.10. Comments *vimwiki-syntax-comments* Text line started with %% is a comment. E.g.: > %% this text would not be in HTML < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.11. Horizontal line *vimwiki-syntax-hr* 4 or more dashes at the start of the line is a 'horizontal line' (

): > ---- < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.12. Schemes *vimwiki-syntax-schemes* In addition to standard web schemes (e.g. `http:`, `https:`, `ftp:`, etc.) a number of special schemes are supported: "wiki#:", "local:", "diary:", "file:", and schemeless. While "wiki:#", "diary" and schemeless links are automatically opened in Vi, all other links are opened with the system command. To customize this behavior, see |VimwikiLinkHandler|. Interwiki:~ If you maintain more than one wiki, you can create interwiki links between them by adding a numbered prefix "wiki#:" in front of a link: > [[wiki#:This is a link]] or: > [[wiki#:This is a link source|Description of the link]] The number "#", in the range 0..N-1, identifies the destination wiki in |g:vimwiki_list|. Diary:~ The diary scheme is used to concisely link to diary entries: > [[diary:2012-03-05]] This scheme precludes explicit inclusion of |vimwiki-option-diary_rel_path|, and is most useful on subwiki pages to avoid links such as: > [[../../diary/2012-03-05]] Local:~ A local resource that is not a wiki page may be specified with a path relative to the current page: > [[local:../assets/data.csv|data (CSV)]] When followed or converted to HTML, extensions of local-scheme links are not modified. File:~ The file scheme allows you to directly link to arbitray resources using absolute paths and extensions: > [[file:///home/somebody/a/b/c/music.mp3]] Schemeless:~ Schemeless URLs, which are the default, are treated internally as "wiki#:" URLs in all respects except when converted to Html. Schemeless links convert to plain relative path URLs, nearly verbatim: > relpath/wikipage.html The "wiki#:", "local:", and "diary:" schemes use absolute paths as URLs: > file:///abs_path_to_html#/relpath/wikipage.html When |vimwiki-option-maxhi| equals 1, a distinct highlighting style is used to identify schemeless links whose targets are not found. All other links appear as regular links even if the files to which they refer do not exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.13. Transclusions *vimwiki-syntax-transclude* 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: > {{local:../../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 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|. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.14. Thumbnails *vimwiki-syntax-thumbnails* Thumbnail links~ > Thumbnail links are constructed like this: > [[http://someaddr.com/bigpicture.jpg|{{http://someaddr.com/thumbnail.jpg}}]] in HTML: >
