A Personal Wiki For Vim

screenshot1 screenshot2 *

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 <Leader>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.

Basic Markup

= Header1 =
== Header2 ==
=== Header3 ===


*bold* -- bold text
_italic_ -- italic text

[[wiki link]] -- wiki link
[[wiki link|description]] -- wiki link with description
