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 <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.

==============================================================================
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.

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 behaviour when opening directories.

Raw URLs~

Raw URLs are also supported: >
  http://code.google.com/p/vimwiki
  mailto:habamax@gmail.com
  ftp://vim.org


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<CR>".


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
    * Bulleted list sub item 1
    * Bulleted list sub item 2
    * more ...
      * and more ...
      * ...
    * Bulleted list sub item 3
    * etc.
or: >
  - Bulleted list item 1
  - Bulleted list item 2
    - Bulleted list sub item 1
    - Bulleted list sub item 2
    - more ...
      - and more ...
      - ...
    - Bulleted list sub item 3
    - etc.

or mix: >
  - Bulleted list item 1
  - Bulleted list item 2
    * Bulleted list sub item 1
    * Bulleted list sub item 2
    * more ...
      - and more ...
      - ...
    * Bulleted list sub item 3
    * etc.

Ordered lists: >
  # Numbered list item 1
  # Numbered list item 2
    # Numbered list sub item 1
    # Numbered list sub item 2
    # more ...
      # and more ...
      # ...
    # Numbered list sub item 3
    # etc.

It is possible to mix bulleted and numbered lists: >
  * Bulleted list item 1
  * Bulleted list item 2
    # Numbered list sub item 1
    # Numbered list sub item 2

Note that a space after *, - or # is essential.

Multiline list items: >
  * Bulleted list item 1
    List item 1 continued line.
    List item 1 next continued line.
  * Bulleted list item 2
    * Bulleted list sub item 1
      List sub item 1 continued line.
      List sub item 1 next continued line.
    * Bulleted list sub item 2
    * etc.

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: >
 <pre class="brush: python">
 def hello(world):
     for x in range(10):
         print("Hello {0} number {1}".format(world, x))
 </pre>

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:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML"></script>

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:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<mathjax_folder>/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML"></script>

where <mathjax_folder> 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, <mathjax_folder> 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' (<hr />): >
 ----
<

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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: >
  <img src="http://vimwiki.googlecode.com/hg/images/vimwiki_logo.png"
  alt="Vimwiki"/>

Transclude image with alternate text and some style: >
  {{http://.../vimwiki_logo.png|cool stuff|style="width:150px; height: 120px;"}}
in HTML: >
  <img src="http://vimwiki.googlecode.com/hg/images/vimwiki_logo.png"
  alt="cool stuff" style="width:150px; height:120px"/>

Transclude image _without_ alternate text and with css class: >
  {{http://.../vimwiki_logo.png||class="center flow blabla"}}
in HTML: >
  <img src="http://vimwiki.googlecode.com/hg/images/vimwiki_logo.png"
  alt="" class="center flow blabla"/>

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: >
  <a href="http://someaddr.com/ ... /.jpg">
  <img src="http://../thumbnail.jpg /></a>




==============================================================================
6. Folding/Outline                                           *vimwiki-folding*

Vimwiki can fold or outline sections using headers and preformatted blocks.
Alternatively, one can fold list subitems instead.

Example for list folding:
= My current task =
  * [ ] Do stuff 1
    * [ ] Do substuff 1.1
    * [ ] Do substuff 1.2
      * [ ] Do substuff 1.2.1
      * [ ] Do substuff 1.2.2
    * [ ] Do substuff 1.3
  * [ ] Do stuff 2
  * [ ] Do stuff 3

Hit |zM| :
= My current task = [8] --------------------------------------~

Hit |zr| :
= My current task =~
  * [ ] Do stuff 1 [5] --------------------------------------~
  * [ ] Do stuff 2~
  * [ ] Do stuff 3~

Hit |zr| one more time:
= My current task =~
  * [ ] Do stuff 1~
    * [ ] Do substuff 1.1~
    * [ ] Do substuff 1.2 [2] -------------------------------~
    * [ ] Do substuff 1.3~
  * [ ] Do stuff 2~
  * [ ] Do stuff 3~

NOTE:If you use the default vimwiki syntax, folding on list items will work
properly only if all of them are indented using current |shiftwidth|.
For MediaWiki, * or # should be in the first column.

To turn folding on/off check |g:vimwiki_folding|.


==============================================================================
7. Placeholders                                         *vimwiki-placeholders*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%toc Table of Contents               *vimwiki-toc* *vimwiki-table-of-contents*

You can add 'table of contents' to your HTML page generated from wiki one.
Just place >

%toc

into your wiki page.
You can also add a caption to your 'toc': >

%toc Table of Contents

or >

%toc Whatever


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%title Title of the page                                       *vimwiki-title*

When you htmlize your wiki page, the default title is the filename of the
page. Place >

%title My books

into your wiki page if you want another title.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%nohtml                                                       *vimwiki-nohtml*

If you do not want a wiki page to be converted to HTML, place:

%nohtml

into it.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%template                                                   *vimwiki-template*

To apply a concrete HTML template to a wiki page, place:

%template name

into it.

See |vimwiki-option-template_path| for details.


==============================================================================
8. Todo lists                                             *vimwiki-todo-lists*

You can have todo lists -- lists of items you can check/uncheck.

Consider the following example:
= Toggleable list of todo items =
  * [X] Toggle list item on/off.
    * [X] Simple toggling between [ ] and [X].
    * [X] All list's subitems should be toggled on/off appropriately.
    * [X] Toggle child subitems only if current line is list item
    * [X] Parent list item should be toggled depending on it's child items.
  * [X] Make numbered list items toggleable too
  * [X] Add highlighting to list item boxes
  * [X] Add [ ] to the next created with o, O and <CR> list item.

Pressing <C-Space> on the first list item will toggle it and all of its child
items:
= Toggleable list of todo items =
  * [ ] Toggle list item on/off.
    * [ ] Simple toggling between [ ] and [X].
    * [ ] All of a list's subitems should be toggled on/off appropriately.
    * [ ] Toggle child subitems only if the current line is a list item.
    * [ ] Parent list item should be toggled depending on their child items.
  * [X] Make numbered list items toggleable too.
  * [X] Add highlighting to list item boxes.
  * [X] Add [ ] to the next list item created using o, O or <CR>.

Pressing <C-Space> on the third list item will toggle it and adjust all of its
parent items:
= Toggleable list of todo items =
  * [.] Toggle list item on/off.
    * [ ] Simple toggling between [ ] and [X].
    * [X] All of a list's subitems should be toggled on/off appropriately.
    * [ ] Toggle child subitems only if current line is list item.
    * [ ] Parent list item should be toggled depending on it's child items.
  * [ ] Make numbered list items toggleable too.
  * [ ] Add highlighting to list item boxes.
  * [ ] Add [ ] to the next list item created using o, O or <CR>.

Parent items could be changed when their child items change. The symbol
between [ ] depends on the percentage of toggled child items (see also
|g:vimwiki_listsyms|): >
    [ ] -- 0%
    [.] -- 1-33%
    [o] -- 34-66%
    [O] -- 67-99%
    [X] -- 100%

It is possible to toggle several list items using visual mode.

                                                   *vimwiki-list-manipulation*
The indentation and bullet symbols for list items can be manipulated using
several mappings.  Examples below demonstrate this behavior for the 'default'
syntax and with |vimwiki-option-list_margin| = 1. >

     Mapping    |      Input       |     Output
   ----------------------------------------------------
       glm      |   ^item          |   ^ - item
       glm      |   ^     item     |   ^     - item
       gll      |   ^ - item       |   ^item
       glm      |   ^   # item     |   ^   item
       gl*      |   ^ item         |   ^ * item
       gl-      |   ^  item        |   ^  - item
       gl3      |   ^   item       |   ^   # item

See |vimwiki_gll|, |vimwiki_glm|, |vimwiki_glstar|, |vimwiki_gl8|
|vimwiki_gl#|, |vimwiki_gl3|, |vimwiki_gl-|, |vimwiki_gl1|
==============================================================================
9. Tables                                                     *vimwiki-tables*

Use the  :VimwikiTable command to create a default table with 5 columns and 2
rows: >

 |   |   |   |   |   |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 |   |   |   |   |   |
<

Tables are auto-formattable. Let's add some text into first cell: >

 | First Name  |   |   |   |   |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 |   |   |   |   |   |
<

Whenever you press <TAB>, <CR> or leave Insert mode, the table is formatted: >

 | First Name |   |   |   |   |
 |------------|---|---|---|---|
 |            |   |   |   |   |
<

You can easily create nice-looking text tables, just press <TAB> and enter new
values: >

 | First Name | Last Name  | Age | City     | e-mail               |
 |------------|------------|-----|----------|----------------------|
 | Vladislav  | Pokrishkin | 31  | Moscow   | vlad_pok@smail.com   |
 | James      | Esfandiary | 27  | Istanbul | esfandiary@tmail.com |
<

To indent table indent the first row. Then format it with 'gqq'.


==============================================================================
10. Diary                                                      *vimwiki-diary*

The diary helps you make daily notes. You can easily add information into
vimwiki that should be sorted out later. Just hit <Leader>w<Leader>w to create
new daily note with name based on current date.

To generate diary section with all available links one can use
|:VimwikiDiaryGenerateLinks| or <Leader>w<Leader>i .

Note: it works only for diary index file.

Example of diary section: >
    = Diary =

    == 2011 ==

    === December ===
        * [[2011-12-09]]
        * [[2011-12-08]]


See |g:vimwiki_diary_months| if you would like to rename months.



Calendar integration                                        *vimwiki-calendar*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have Calendar.vim installed you can use it to create diary notes.
Just open calendar with :Calendar and tap <Enter> on the date. A wiki file
will be created in the default wiki's diary.

Get it from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=52

See |g:vimwiki_use_calendar| option to turn it off/on.



==============================================================================
11. Options                                                  *vimwiki-options*

There are global options and local (per-wiki) options available to tune
vimwiki.

Global options are configured via global variables.  For a complete list of
them, see |viwmiki-global-options|.

Local options for multiple independent wikis are stored in a single global
variable |g:vimwiki_list|.  The per-wiki options can be registered in advance,
as described in |vimwiki-register-wiki|, or may be registered on the fly as
described in |vimwiki-temporary-wiki|.  For a list of per-wiki options, see
|vimwiki-local-options|.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.1 Registered Wiki                    *g:vimwiki_list* *vimwiki-register-wiki*

One or more wikis can be registered using the |g:vimwiki_list| variable.

Each item in |g:vimwiki_list| is a |Dictionary| that holds all customizations
available for a distinct wiki. The options dictionary has the form: >
  {'option1': 'value1', 'option2: 'value2', ...}

Consider the following: >
  let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', 'path_html': '~/public_html/'}]

This defines one wiki located at ~/my_site/ that could be htmlized to
~/public_html/

Another example: >
  let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', 'path_html': '~/public_html/'},
            \ {'path': '~/my_docs/', 'ext': '.mdox'}]

defines two wikis: the first as before, and the second one located in
~/my_docs/, with files that have the .mdox extension.

An empty |Dictionary| in g:vimwiki_list is the wiki with default options: >
  let g:vimwiki_list = [{},
            \ {'path': '~/my_docs/', 'ext': '.mdox'}]

For clarity, in your .vimrc file you can define wiki options using separate
|Dictionary| variables and subsequently compose them into |g:vimwiki_list|. >
    let wiki_1 = {}
    let wiki_1.path = '~/my_docs/'
    let wiki_1.html_template = '~/public_html/template.tpl'
    let wiki_1.nested_syntaxes = {'python': 'python', 'c++': 'cpp'}

    let wiki_2 = {}
    let wiki_2.path = '~/project_docs/'
    let wiki_2.index = 'main'

    let g:vimwiki_list = [wiki_1, wiki_2]
<


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.2 Temporary Wiki                                    *vimwiki-temporary-wiki*


The creation of temporary wikis allows you to open files that would not
normally be recognized by vimwiki.

If a file with a registered wiki extension (see |vimwiki-register-extension|)
is opened in a directory that: 1) is not listed in |g:vimwiki_list|, and 2) is
not a subdirectory of any such directory, then a temporary wiki may be created
and appended to the list of configured wikis in |g:vimwiki_list|.

In addition to vimwiki's editing functionality, the temporary wiki enables: 1)
wiki-linking to other files in the same subtree, 2) highlighting of existing
wiki pages when |vimwiki-option-maxhi| is activated, and 3) html generation to
|vimwiki-option-path_html|.

Temporary wikis are configured using default |vimwiki-local-options|, except
for the path, extension, and syntax options.  The path and extension are set
using the file's location and extension.  The syntax is set to vimwiki's
default unless another syntax is registered via |vimwiki-register-extension|.

Use |g:vimwiki_global_ext| to turn off creation of temporary wikis.

NOTE: Vimwiki assumes that the locations of distinct wikis do not overlap.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.3 Per-Wiki Options                                  *vimwiki-local-options*

converted to HTML at the moment.

To use Markdown's wiki markup: >
  let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/',
                       \ 'syntax': 'markdown', 'ext': '.md'}]

    <html>
    <head>
        <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="%root_path%style.css" />
        <title>%title%</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="content">
        %content%
        </div>
    </body>
    </html>

where
  %title% is replaced by a wiki page name or by a |vimwiki-title|
  %root_path% is replaced by a count of ../ for pages buried in subdirs:
    if you have wikilink [[dir1/dir2/dir3/my page in a subdir]] then
    %root_path% is replaced by '../../../'.

  %content% is replaced by a wiki file content.


The default template will be applied to all wiki pages unless a page specifies

Description~
Non-existent wiki links highlighting can be quite slow. If you still want it,
set maxhi to 1: >
  let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', 'maxhi': 1}]

This disables filesystem checks for wiki links.


*vimwiki-option-nested_syntaxes*

|vimwiki_gl-| and |vimwiki_gl1|.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.4 Global Options                                   *viwmiki-global-options*


Global options are configured using the following pattern: >

    let g:option_name = option_value


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_hl_headers*

Highlight headers with =Reddish=, ==Greenish==, ===Blueish=== colors.

Value           Description~
1               Use VimwikiHeader1-VimwikiHeader6 group colors to highlight
                different header levels.
0               Use |hl-Title| color for headers.
Default: 0

*g:vimwiki_global_ext*

Control the creation of |vimwiki-temporary-wiki|s.

If a file with a registered extension (see |vimwiki-register-extension|) is
opened in a directory that is: 1) not listed in |g:vimwiki_list|, and 2) not a
subdirectory of any such directory, then:

Value           Description~
1               make temporary wiki and append it to |g:vimwiki_list|.
0               don't make temporary wiki in that dir.

If your preferred wiki extension is .txt then you can >
    let g:vimwiki_global_ext = 0
to restrict vimwiki's operation to only those paths listed in g:vimwiki_list.
Other text files wouldn't be treated as wiki pages.

Default: 1


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_ext2syntax* *vimwiki-register-extension*

  let g:vimwiki_ext2syntax = {'.md': 'markdown',
                  \ '.mkd': 'markdown',
                  \ '.wiki': 'media'}

An extension that is registered with vimwiki can trigger creation of a
|vimwiki-temporary-wiki| with the associated syntax.  File extensions used in
|g:vimwiki_list| are automatically registered with vimwiki using the default
syntax.

Default: {}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_auto_checkbox*

If on, creates checkbox while toggling list item.

Value           Description~

*g:vimwiki_use_mouse*

Use local mouse mappings from |vimwiki-local-mappings|.

Value           Description~
0               Do not use mouse mappings.
1               Use mouse mappings.

Default: 0


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_folding*

Enable/disable vimwiki's folding (outline) functionality. Folding in vimwiki
can uses either the 'expr' or the 'syntax' |foldmethod| of Vim.

Value           Description~
''              Disable folding.
'expr'          Folding based on expression (folds sections and code blocks).
'syntax'        Folding based on syntax (folds sections; slower than 'expr').
'list'          Folding based on expression (folds list subitems; much slower).

Default: ''

Limitations:
  - Opening very large files may be slow when folding is enabled.
  - 'list' folding is particularly slow with larger files.
  - 'list' is intended to work with lists nicely indented with 'shiftwidth'.
  - 'syntax' is only available for the default syntax so far.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_list_ignore_newline*

This is HTML related.
Convert newlines to <br />s in multiline list items.

Value           Description~
0               Newlines in a list item are converted to <br />s.
1               Ignore newlines.

Default: 1


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_use_calendar*

Create new or open existing diary wiki-file for the date selected in Calendar.
See |vimwiki-calendar|.

Value           Description~
0               Do not use calendar.
1               Use calendar.

Default: 1


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*VimwikiLinkHandler*

A customizable link handler, |VimwikiLinkHandler|, can be defined to override
Vimwiki's opening of links.  Each recognized link, whether it is a wikilink,
wiki-include link or a weblink, is first passed to |VimwikiLinkHandler| to see
if it can be handled.  The return value 1/0 indicates success.

If the link is not handled successfully, the behaviour of Vimwiki depends on
the scheme.  Wiki:, diary: or schemeless links are opened in Vim.  All others,
including local: and file: schemes, are opened with a system default handler;
i.e. Linux (!xdg-open), Mac (!open), and Windows (!start).

You can redefine |VimwikiLinkHandler| function to do something else: >

  function! VimwikiLinkHandler(link)
    try
      let browser = 'C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe'
      execute '!start "'.browser.'" ' . a:link
      return 1
    catch
      echo "This can happen for a variety of reasons ..."
    endtry
    return 0
  endfunction

A second example handles two new schemes, 'vlocal:' and 'vfile:', which behave
similar to 'local:' and 'file:' schemes, but are always opened with Vim: >

  function! VimwikiLinkHandler(link) "{{{ Use Vim to open links with the
    " 'vlocal:' or 'vfile:' schemes.  E.g.:
    "   1) [[vfile:///~/Code/PythonProject/abc123.py]], and
    "   2) [[vlocal:./|Wiki Home]]
    let link = a:link
    if link =~ "vlocal:" || link =~ "vfile:"
      let link = link[1:]
    else
      return 0
    endif
    let [idx, scheme, path, subdir, lnk, ext, url] =
         \ vimwiki#base#resolve_scheme(link, 0)
    if g:vimwiki_debug
      echom 'LinkHandler: idx='.idx.', scheme=[v]'.scheme.', path='.path.
           \ ', subdir='.subdir.', lnk='.lnk.', ext='.ext.', url='.url
    endif
    if url == ''
      echom 'Vimwiki Error: Unable to resolve link!'
      return 0
    else
      call vimwiki#base#edit_file('tabnew', url, [], 0)
      return 1
    endif
  endfunction " }}}


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*VimwikiWikiIncludeHandler*~

Vimwiki includes the contents of a wiki-include URL as an image by default.

A trial feature allows you to supply your own handler for wiki-include links.
The handler should return the empty string when it does not recognize or
cannot otherwise convert the link.  A customized handler might look like this: >

  " Convert {{URL|#|ID}} -> URL#ID
  function! VimwikiWikiIncludeHandler(value) "{{{
    let str = a:value

    " complete URL
    let url_0 = matchstr(str, g:vimwiki_rxWikiInclMatchUrl)
    " URL parts
    let [scheme, path, subdir, lnk, ext, url] =
          \ vimwiki#base#resolve_scheme(url_0, VimwikiGet('ext'))
    let arg1 = matchstr(str, VimwikiWikiInclMatchArg(1))
    let arg2 = matchstr(str, VimwikiWikiInclMatchArg(2))

    if arg1 =~ '#'
      return url.'#'.arg2
    endif

    " Return the empty string when unable to process link
    return ''
  endfunction "}}}
<

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_table_mappings*

Enable/disable table mappings for INSERT mode.

Value           Description~
0               Disable table mappings.
1               Enable table mappings.

Default: 1


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_table_auto_fmt*

Enable/disable table auto formatting after leaving INSERT mode.

Value           Description~

*g:vimwiki_w32_dir_enc*

Convert directory name from current |encoding| into 'g:vimwiki_w32_dir_enc'
before it is created.

If you have 'enc=utf-8' and set up >
    let g:vimwiki_w32_dir_enc = 'cp1251'
<
then following the next link with <CR>: >
    [[привет/мир]]
>
would convert utf-8 'привет' to cp1251 and create directory with that name.

Default: ''


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_CJK_length*

Use special method to calculate correct length of the strings with double-wide
characters (to align table cells properly).

Value           Description~
0               Do not use it.
1               Use it.

Default: 0

Note: Vim73 has a new function |strdisplaywidth|, so for Vim73 users this
option is obsolete.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_dir_link*

This option is about what to do with links to directories -- [[directory/]],
[[papers/]], etc.

Value           Description~
''              Open 'directory/' using standard netrw plugin.
'index'         Open 'directory/index.wiki', create if needed.
'main'          Open 'directory/main.wiki', create if needed.
etc.

Default: '' (empty string)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_html_header_numbering*

Set this option if you want headers to be auto-numbered in HTML.

E.g.: >
    1 Header1
    1.1 Header2
    1.2 Header2
    1.2.1 Header3
    1.2.2 Header3
    1.3 Header2
    2 Header1
    3 Header1
etc.

Value           Description~
0               Header numbering is off.
1               Header numbering is on. Headers are numbered starting from
                header level 1.
2               Header numbering is on. Headers are numbered starting from
                header level 2.
etc.
Example when g:vimwiki_html_header_numbering = 2: >
    Header1
    1 Header2
    2 Header2
    2.1 Header3
    2.1.1 Header4
    2.1.2 Header4
    2.2 Header3
    3 Header2
    4 Header2

Default: 0


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_html_header_numbering_sym*

Ending symbol for |g:vimwiki_html_header_numbering|.

Value           Description~
'.'             Dot will be added after a header's number.
')'             Closing bracket will be added after a header's number.
etc.

With
    let g:vimwiki_html_header_numbering_sym = '.'
headers would look like: >
    1. Header1
    1.1. Header2
    1.2. Header2
    1.2.1. Header3
    1.2.2. Header3

    3. Header1


Default: '' (empty)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_valid_html_tags*

Case-insensitive comma separated list of HTML tags that can be used in vimwiki.

Default: 'b,i,s,u,sub,sup,kbd,br,hr'


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_user_htmls*

Comma-separated list of HTML files that have no corresponding wiki files and
should not be deleted after |:VimwikiAll2HTML|.

Default: ''

Example:
Consider you have 404.html and search.html in your vimwiki 'path_html'.
With: >
    let g:vimwiki_user_htmls = '404.html,search.html'
they would not be deleted after |:VimwikiAll2HTML|.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_conceallevel*

In vim73 |conceallevel| is local to window, thus if you open viwmiki buffer in
a new tab or window, it would be set to default value.

Vimwiki sets |conceallevel| to g:vimwiki_conceallevel everytime vimwiki buffer
is entered.

With default settings, Vimwiki conceals one-character markers, shortens long
URLs and hides markers and URL for links that have a description.

Default: 2


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_autowriteall*

In vim |autowriteall| is a global setting. With g:vimwiki_autowriteall vimwiki
makes it local to its buffers.

Value           Description~
0               autowriteall is off
1               autowriteall is on

Default: 1


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_url_maxsave*

Setting the value of |g:vimwiki_url_maxsave| to 0 will prevent any link
shortening: you will see the full URL in all types of links, with no parts
being concealed. Concealing of one-character markers is not affected.

When positive, the value determines the maximum number of characters that
are retained at the end after concealing the middle part of a long URL.
It could be less: in case one of the characters /,#,? is found near the end,
the URL will be concealed up to the last occurrence of that character.

Note:
  * The conceal feature works only with Vim >= 7.3.
  * When using the default |wrap| option of Vim, the effect of concealed links
    is not always pleasing, because the visible text on longer lines with
    a lot of concealed parts may appear to be strangely broken across several
    lines. This is a limitation of Vim's |conceal| feature.
  * Many color schemes do not define an unobtrusive color for the Conceal
    highlight group - this might be quite noticeable on shortened URLs.


Default: 15


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_debug*

Controls verbosity of debugging output, for example, the diagnostic
information about HTML conversion.

Value           Description~
0               Do not show debug messages.
1               Show debug messages.

Default: 0


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*g:vimwiki_diary_months*

It is a |Dictionary| with the numbers of months and corresponding names. Diary
uses it.

Redefine it in your .vimrc to get localized months in your diary:
let g:vimwiki_diary_months = {
      \ 1: 'Январь', 2: 'Февраль', 3: 'Март',
      \ 4: 'Апрель', 5: 'Май', 6: 'Июнь',
      \ 7: 'Июль', 8: 'Август', 9: 'Сентябрь',
      \ 10: 'Октябрь', 11: 'Ноябрь', 12: 'Декабрь'
      \ }

Default:
let g:vimwiki_diary_months = {
      \ 1: 'January', 2: 'February', 3: 'March',
      \ 4: 'April', 5: 'May', 6: 'June',
      \ 7: 'July', 8: 'August', 9: 'September',

      \ }
