Introduction

This is a Vim plugin for writing and maintaining a personal wiki. The plugin was initially based on vimwiki, but it is written mostly from scratch and is based on a more "do one thing and do it well" philosophy.

Note: wiki.vim is not a filetype plugin. It is designed so that it may be used along with filetype plugins, e.g. for dedicated Markdown plugins. One may also use wiki-ft.vim for simple syntax highlighting and folding of .wiki files, if desired.

This README file contains basic information on how to get started, as well as a list of available features. For more details, please confer the full documentation.

Usage

This outlines the basic steps to get started:

  1. Create a wiki directory where the wiki files should be stored, for instance ~/wiki.

  2. Add the following to your vimrc file:

    let g:wiki_root = '~/wiki'
  3. Now you can open the index file (by default index.wiki) with <leader>ww and start to add your notes as desired.
