Introduction

VimWiki is a personal wiki for Vim -- a number of linked text files that have their own syntax highlighting. See the VimWiki Wiki for an example website built with VimWiki!

For the latest features and fixes checkout the dev branch. If you are interested in contributing see this section.

With VimWiki, you can:

• Organize notes and ideas
• Manage to-do lists
• Write documentation
• Maintain a diary
• Export everything to HTML

To do a quick start, press <Leader>ww (default is \ww) to go to your index wiki file. By default, it is located in ~/vimwiki/index.wiki. See :h vimwiki_list for registering a different path/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.

Installation

VimWiki has been tested on Vim >= 7.3. It will likely work on older versions but will not be officially supported.

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.

Installation using Vim packages (since Vim 7.4.1528)

git clone https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vimwiki

# to generate documentation i.e. ':h vimwiki'
vim -c 'helptags ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vimwiki/doc' -c quit

Notes:

• See :h helptags for issues with installing the documentation.
• For general information on vim packages see :h packages.

Installation using Pathogen

cd ~/.vim
mkdir bundle
cd bundle
git clone https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki.git

Installation using Vim-Plug

Add the following to the plugin-configuration in your vimrc:

Plug 'vimwiki/vimwiki'

Then run :PlugInstall.

Installation using Vundle

Add Plugin 'vimwiki/vimwiki' to your vimrc file and run:

vim +PluginInstall +qall

Manual Install

Download the zip archive and extract it in ~/.vim/bundle/

Then launch Vim, run :Helptags and then :help vimwiki to verify it was installed.

• <Leader>wt -- Open default wiki index file in a new tab.
• <Leader>ws -- Select and open wiki index file.
• <Leader>wd -- Delete wiki file you are in.
• <Leader>wr -- Rename wiki file you are in.
• <Enter> -- Follow/Create wiki link.
• <Shift-Enter> -- Split and follow/create wiki link.
• <Ctrl-Enter> -- Vertical split and follow/create wiki link.

Refer to the complete documentation at :h vimwiki-mappings to see many more bindings.

Commands

• :Vimwiki2HTML -- Convert current wiki link to HTML.
• :VimwikiAll2HTML -- Convert all your wiki links to HTML.
• :help vimwiki-commands -- List all commands.
• :help vimwiki -- General vimwiki help docs.

Changing Wiki Syntax

VimWiki currently ships with 3 syntaxes: VimWiki (default), Markdown (markdown), and MediaWiki (media).

NOTE: Only the default syntax ships with a built-in HTML converter. For Markdown or MediaWiki see :h vimwiki-option-custom_wiki2html. Some examples and 3rd party tools are available here.

If you would prefer to use either Markdown or MediaWiki syntaxes, set the following option in your .vimrc:

let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/vimwiki/',
                      \ 'syntax': 'markdown', 'ext': '.md'}]

Getting help

GitHub issues are the primary method for raising bug reports or feature requests.

Additional resources include the IRC channel #vimwiki on Freenode (webchat, also synced to Matrix/Riot: #freenode_#vimwiki:matrix.org and Telegram) or post to the mailing list.

Helping VimWiki

VimWiki has a lot of users but only very few recurring developers or people helping the community. Your help is therefore appreciated. Everyone can help! See #625 for information on how you can help.

Also, take a look at CONTRIBUTING.md and design_notes.md
