## General
|
|
|
|
Vim wiki is a vim plugin making it possible to effectivly keep wiki-style knowledge sorted on your local machine.
|
|
The single pages are written in markdown and are interlinked.
|
|
It can further be used as a Diary or to manage TODO lists, and to export the whole wiki in to an website, meaning single HTML files, which are interlinked and can be published.
|
|
Since every entry is a simple markdown file, this makes it easy to collaborate on a common wiki using git.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
The vim-wiki plugin can be installed like every vim plugin.
|
|
To test if the install was successful, execute `:VimwikiIndex` in the command prompt of vim.
|
|
You have to add the following lines to your `.vimrc`, irrespective of the installation method used.
|
|
```vim
|
|
set nocompatible
|
|
filetype plugin on
|
|
syntax on
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### [Vim-Plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
|
|
|
|
Add `Plug 'vimwiki/vimwiki'` to the Plug-Section of your `init.vim` or `.vimrc`.
|
|
Afterwords run `:PlugInstall` in the command prompt of vim.
|
|
|
|
#### [Pathogen](https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332)
|
|
|
|
Go to your vim config folder and clone the vimwiki github repository into the `bundle` folder.
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd $CONFIG/vim
|
|
mkdir bundle
|
|
cd bundle
|
|
git clone https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki.git
|
|
```
|
|
Afterwords run `:Helptags` in the command prompt of vim.
|
|
|
|
#### [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim)
|
|
|
|
Add `Plugin 'vimwiki/vimwiki'` to the `init.vim` or `.vimrc`.
|
|
Afterwords run `vim +PluginInstall +qall` in the shell to install it.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
To go to the index page you enter `<leader>ww`.
|
|
For a bare vim-install this is `\ww`.
|
|
To change this, put the following line to your `.vimrc`:
|
|
```vim
|
|
map <leader>v :VimwikiIndex <Enter>
|
|
```
|
|
On default the directory for the markdown files is `~/vimwiki/index.wiki`.
|
|
To change this, add the following line to your `.vimrc`:
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '/PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/vimwiki', 'syntax': 'markdown', 'ext': '.md'}]
|
|
```
|
|
Here you can also add several wikis.
|
|
Assuming you want to have one wiki exclusively for coding related matters and an other one for every day related knowledge, add
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:vimwiki_list = [
|
|
\ {'path': '/PATH/wiki_code', 'syntax': 'markdown', 'ext': '.md'},
|
|
\ {'path': '/PATH/wiki_household', 'syntax': 'markdown', 'ext': '.md'} ]
|
|
```
|
|
to your `.vimrc`.
|
|
To then select the correct wiki to go to, use `<leader>ws` to select which wiki you want to choose.
|
|
You can also use `[number] <leader>ww` to directly move to the corresponding wiki.
|
|
|
|
All the key bindings and how to remap them are listed under `:h vimwiki-mappings`.
|
|
|
|
### Basic Usage
|
|
|
|
#### Navigation
|
|
|
|
To navigate the vimwiki you need to know 3 basic commands.
|
|
|
|
1. Add a new page
|
|
- To add a new page, you write the name of the main wiki-index page. Visually select the title of the page and press `<Enter>`. This creates a link to a new markdown file.
|
|
2. Go to a new page
|
|
- To follow a link, press `<Enter>` on the link again, this opens the new markdown file.
|
|
3. Go one page back
|
|
- To go back to the previous page, press `<Backspace>`.
|
|
|
|
#### Diary
|
|
|
|
To keep a diary in your vimwiki, use the `:VimwikiMakeDiaryNote` command. This opens a markdown file with the current date as its name.
|
|
Write your entry and save it.
|
|
To link the new entry to the diary index page, use `:VimwikiDiaryIndex` to go to the index page itself.
|
|
Then execute `:VimwikiDiaryGenerateLinks`. This adds all unlinked diary entries to the diary index page.
|
|
The default keybindings for this are
|
|
- `[number] <leader> wi`: Move to the diary index of wiki i.
|
|
- `[number] <leader> w <leader> w`: Open todays diary file for wiki i.
|
|
- `[number] <leader> w <leader> t`: Open todays diary file for wiki i in a new tab.
|
|
|
|
#### Encryption of pages
|
|
|
|
Using the [vim gnupg](https://github.com/jamessan/vim-gnupg) plugin, you can encrypt your pages.
|
|
This is done by first adding the folling line to your `.vimrc`.
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:GPGFilePattern = '*.\(gpg\|asc\|pgp\)\(.md\)\='
|
|
```
|
|
To then create an encrypted entry, you have to add `.asc` to your link.
|
|
The new file will then be named `filename.asc.md`.
|
|
Opening it initially, a prompt will ask you which key to choose.
|
|
Select thee correct key and close the prompt.
|
|
|
|
#### Conversion to HTML
|
|
|
|
Vimwiki has the built in feature to export your wiki in to an HTML wiki.
|
|
The build in version only supports the vimwiki markup language.
|
|
If you write in this language, you should change the `vimwiki_list` command such that it includes `'syntax': 'vimwiki', 'ext': '.wiki'`.
|
|
Afterwords you can just run
|
|
```
|
|
:VimwikiAll2HTML
|
|
```
|
|
To only convert the current page to html, use `:Vimwiki2HTML`.
|
|
which converts all existing `.wiki` files in to html files and links them against each other.
|
|
|
|
To expand this capability to markdown, you have to include certain wrapper scripts.
