html tag cannot be extracted, the url is used as the link title. Suggested mapping: > nnoremap <silent> <leader>uu :call vimwiki#base#linkify()<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 or: > * Bulleted list item 1 * Bulleted list item 2 Ordered lists: > 1. Numbered list item 1 2. Numbered list item 2 3. Numbered list item 3 or: > 1) Numbered list item 1 2) Numbered list item 2 3) Numbered list item 3 or: > a) Numbered list item 1 b) Numbered list item 2 c) Numbered list item 3 or: > A) Numbered list item 1 B) Numbered list item 2 C) Numbered list item 3 or: > i) Numbered list item 1 ii) Numbered list item 2 iii) Numbered list item 3 or: > I) Numbered list item 1 II) Numbered list item 2 III) Numbered list item 3 or: > # Bulleted list item 1 # the # become numbers when converted to HTML Note that a space after the list item symbols (-, *, 1. etc.) is essential. You can nest and mix the various types: > - Bulleted list item 1 - Bulleted list item 2 a) Numbered list sub item 1 b) more ... * and more ... * ... c) Numbered list sub item 3 1. Numbered list sub sub item 1 2. Numbered list sub sub item 2 d) etc. - Bulleted list item 3 List items can span multiple lines: > * Item 1 Item 1 continued line. Item 1 next continued line. * Item 2 - Sub item 1 Sub item 1 continued line. Sub item 1 next continued line. - Sub item 2 - etc. Continuation of Item 2 Next continuation of Item 2 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 highlighted as a table header. If you indent a table then it will be centered in HTML. If you put > in a cell, the cell spans the left column. If you put \/ 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 seize the fire? }}} You can add optional information after the {{{: > {{{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| and |vimwiki-option-automatic_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 (https://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. installing MathJax locally (Recommended: 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>/es5/tex-chtml.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). 2. Loading MathJax from a CDN-server (needs internet connection). Add to your HTML template the following lines: <script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=es6"></script> <script id="MathJax-script" async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js"></script> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.9. Blockquotes *vimwiki-syntax-blockquotes* Text which starts 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. A group of lines prefixed with > also specifies a blockquote, with the caveat that the > syntax allow empty lines to signal multiple paragraphs. > This also signals a block quote. > > You can use empty lines to signal multiple paragraphs kept inside the same > blockquote. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.10. Comments *vimwiki-syntax-comments* A line that starts with %% is a comment. E.g.: > %% this text would not be in HTML The default commentstring can be changed or disabled with |g:vimwiki_commentstring| so an alternative commentstring can be set, e.g.:  A multi-line comment is one that starts with %%+ and ends with +%%. This can traverse across multiple lines, or can be contained within part of a single line. E.g.: %%+ this text and this text would not be in html +%% %%+ not included +%% is included %%+ also not included +%% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.11. Horizontal line *vimwiki-syntax-hr* 4 or more dashes at the start of the line is a horizontal line (<hr />): > ---- < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.12. Tags *vimwiki-syntax-tags* You can tag a wiki file, a header or an arbitrary place in a wiki file. Then, you can use Vim's built-in tag search functionality (see |tagsrch.txt|) or Vimwiki's tag related commands to quickly jump to all occurrences of the tag. A tag is a sequence of non-space characters between two colons: > :tag-example: < It is allowed to concatenate multiple tags in one line: > :tag-one:tag-two: < If placed in the first two lines of a file, the whole file is tagged. If placed under a header, within the 2 lines below it, the header is then tagged with this tag, and the tag search commands will jump to this specific header. Otherwise, the tag stands of its own and the search command jumps directly to it. Typing tags can be simplified by using Vim's omni completion (see |compl-omni|) like so: > :ind<C-X><C-O> which opens up a popup menu with all tags defined in the wiki starting with "ind". Tags are also treated as |vimwiki-anchors| (similar to bold text). *vimwiki-build-tags* Note that the tag search/jump/completion commands need certain metadata saved in the wiki folder. This metadata file can be manually updated by running |:VimwikiRebuildTags|. When the option |vimwiki-option-auto_tags| is enabled, the tags metadata will be auto-updated on each page save. Tags-related commands and options: * |:VimwikiRebuildTags| * |:VimwikiGenerateTagLinks| * |:VimwikiSearchTags| * |vimwiki-option-auto_tags| ============================================================================== 6. Folding/Outline *vimwiki-folding* Vimwiki allows you to use Vim's folding methods and options so you can fold your outline to make it less distracting and easier to navigate. You can use Vimwiki's built-in folding methods or supply custom methods for folding. You control how folds behave with by setting the |g:vimwiki_folding| variable to the desired value in your configuration file: > let g:vimwiki_folding = 'value' Here's an example of how folds work with |g:vimwiki_folding| set to 'list': = 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 = * [ ] Do stuff 1 [6] --------------------------------------~ * [ ] Do stuff 2 * [ ] Do stuff 3 Hit |zr| : = My current task = * [ ] Do stuff 1 * [ ] Do substuff 1.1 * [ ] Do substuff 1.2 [3] -------------------------------~ * [ ] Do substuff 1.3 * [ ] 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 * [ ] Do substuff 1.2.1 * [ ] 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 the current 'shiftwidth'. For Markdown and MediaWiki syntax, * or # should be in the first column. For maximum control over folds, set |g:vimwiki_folding| to 'custom' so you can allow other plugins or your vim configuration file to control how folding is performed. For example, let's say you are using markdown syntax and prefer to fold so that the last blank line before a header is not folded, you can add this function to your configuration file: > function! VimwikiFoldLevelCustom(lnum) let pounds = strlen(matchstr(getline(a:lnum), '^#\+')) if (pounds) return '>' . pounds " start a fold level endif if getline(a:lnum) =~? '\v^\s*$' if (strlen(matchstr(getline(a:lnum + 1), '^#\+'))) return '-1' " don't fold last blank line before header endif endif return '=' " return previous fold level endfunction Note that you will also need to add the following vim options to your configuration: > augroup VimrcAuGroup autocmd! autocmd FileType vimwiki setlocal foldmethod=expr | \ setlocal foldenable | set foldexpr=VimwikiFoldLevelCustom(v:lnum) augroup END See the |g:vimwiki_folding| documentation for more details. ============================================================================== 7. Placeholders *vimwiki-placeholders* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ %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. This will also prevent inclusion in the RSS feed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ %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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ %date *vimwiki-date* The date of the wiki page. The value can be used in the HTML template, see |vimwiki-option-template_path| for details. To set a specific date string format, see |vimwiki-option-template_date_format| for details. %date 2017-07-08 %date If you omit the date after the placeholder, the date of the HTML conversion is used. ============================================================================== 8. Lists *vimwiki-lists* While writing lists, the keys <CR>, o and O insert new bullets or numbers as you would expect it. A new bullet/number is inserted if and only if the cursor is in a list item. If you use hard line wraps within your lists then you will need to remap `<CR>` to `VimwikiReturn 3 5`, use <S-CR>, or press <CR> and <C-L><C-M>. Note that the mapping <S-CR> is not available in all terminals. Furthermore, <CR> and <S-CR> behave differently when the cursor is behind an empty list item. See the table below. To customize the behavior you should use an autocmd or place the mappings in `~/.vim/after/ftplugin/vimwiki.vim`. This is necessary to avoid an error that the command `VimwikiReturn` doesn't exist when editing non Vimwiki files.: > autocmd FileType vimwiki inoremap <silent><buffer> <CR> \ <C-]><Esc>:VimwikiReturn 3 5<CR> autocmd FileType vimwiki inoremap <silent><buffer> <S-CR> \ <Esc>:VimwikiReturn 2 2<CR> Note: Prefixing the mapping with `<C-]>` expands iabbrev definitions and requires Vim > 7.3.489. The first argument of the command :VimwikiReturn is a number that specifies when to insert a new bullet/number and when not, depending on whether the cursor is in a list item or in a normal line: > Number │ Before │ After ====================================== 1 │ 1. item| │ 1. item │ │ 2. | │–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ← default for <CR> │ 1. item │ 1. item │ continue| │ continue │ │ | ====================================== 2 │ 1. item| │ 1. item │ │ | │–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ← default for <S-CR> │ 1. item │ 1. item │ continue| │ continue │ │ 2. | ====================================== 3 │ 1. item| │ 1. item │ │ 2. | │–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– │ 1. item │ 1. item │ continue| │ continue │ │ 2. | ====================================== 4 │ 1. item| │ 1. item │ │ | │–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– │ 1. item │ 1. item │ continue| │ continue │ │ | < The second argument is a number that specifies what should happen when you press <CR> or <S-CR> behind an empty list item. There are no less than five possibilities: > Number │ Before │ After ====================================== 1 │ 1. | │ 1. │ │ 2. | ====================================== 2 │ 1. | │ ← default for <S-CR> │ │ 1. | ====================================== 3 │ 1. | │ | │ │ ====================================== 4 │ 1. | │ │ │ | ====================================== 5 │ 1. | │ 1. | │ │ │–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ← default for <CR> │ 1. | │ | │ │ < *vimwiki-list-manipulation* The level of a list item is determined by its indentation (default and Markdown syntax) or by the number of list symbols (MediaWiki syntax). Use gll and glh in normal mode to increase or decrease the level of a list item. The symbols are adjusted automatically to the list items around it. Use gLl and gLh to increase or decrease the level of a list item plus all list items of lower level below it, that is, all child items. Use <C-T> and <C-D> to change the level of a list item in insert mode. See |vimwiki_gll|, |vimwiki_gLl|, |vimwiki_glh|, |vimwiki_gLh|, |vimwiki_i_<C-T>|, |vimwiki_i_<C-D>| Use gl followed by the desired symbol to change the symbol of a list item or create one. Type gL and the symbol to change all items of the current list. For default syntax, the following types are available: > - hyphen * asterisk # hash 1. number with period 1) number with parenthesis a) lower-case letter with parenthesis A) upper-case letter with parenthesis i) lower-case Roman numerals with parenthesis I) upper-case Roman numerals with parenthesis Markdown syntax has the following types: > - hyphen * asterisk + plus 1. number with period MediaWiki syntax only has: > * asterisk # hash In insert mode, use the keys <C-L><C-J> and <C-L><C-K> to switch between symbols. For convenience, only the commonly used symbols can be reached through these keys for default syntax. Note that such a list: a) b) c) … only goes up to zz), to avoid confusion with normal text followed by a parenthesis. Roman numerals go up to MMMM) and numbers up to 2147483647. or 9223372036854775807. depending if your Vim is 32 or 64 bit. Also, note that you can, of course, mix different list symbols in one list, but if you have the strange idea of putting a list with Roman numerals right after a list using letters or vice versa, Vimwiki will get confused because it cannot distinguish which is which (at least if the types are both upper case or both lower case). See |vimwiki_glstar|, |vimwiki_gl#| |vimwiki_gl-|, |vimwiki_gl-|, |vimwiki_gl1|, |vimwiki_gla|, |vimwiki_glA|, |vimwiki_gli|, |vimwiki_glI| Use glr and gLr if the numbers of a numbered list are mixed up. See |vimwiki_glr| and |vimwiki_gLr|. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 its child items. * [X] Make numbered list items toggleable too * [X] Add highlighting to list item boxes * [X] Add [ ] to the next list item created with o, O and <CR>. 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 its 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 should change when their child items change unless disabled via |vimwiki-option-listsyms_propagate|. If not, use |vimwiki_glr|. The symbol between [ ] depends on the percentage of toggled child items (see also |vimwiki-option-listsyms|): > [ ] -- 0% [.] -- 1-33% [o] -- 34-66% [O] -- 67-99% [X] -- 100% You can use |vimwiki_gln| and |vimwiki_glp| to change the "done" status of a checkbox without a childitem. It is possible to toggle several list items using visual mode. But note that instead of toggling every item individually, all items get checked if the first item was unchecked and all items get unchecked if the first item was checked. Use gl<Space> (see |vimwiki_gl<Space>|) to remove a single checkbox and gL<Space> (see |vimwiki_gL<Space>|) to remove all checkboxes of the list the cursor is in. You can mark an item as rejected ("won't do") with |vimwiki_glx|. A rejected item will not influence the status of its parents. ============================================================================== 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'. You can specify the type of horizontal alignment for columns in the separator using the ':' character. The default is left-align. > | Date | Item | Price | |------------|:------:|--------:| | yest | Coffee | $15.00 | | 2017-02-13 | Tea | $2.10 | | 2017-03-14 | Cake | $143.12 | < ============================================================================== 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 a new note for today with a name based on the current date. To generate the 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]] The diary can be used with a frequency other than daily. See the appropriate per-wiki options. 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 https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=52 See |g:vimwiki_use_calendar| option to turn it off/on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Markdown export If you use markdown as the syntax for your wiki, there is a rubygem available at https://github.com/patrickdavey/vimwiki_markdown which you can use to convert the wiki markdown files into html. Also, See |vimwiki-option-html_filename_parameterization| for supporting functionality. ============================================================================== 11. Anchors *vimwiki-anchors* Every header, tag, and bold text can be used as an anchor. To jump to it, use a wikilink of the form > [[file#anchor]] For example, consider the following file "Todo.wiki": > = My tasks = :todo-lists: == Home == - [ ] bathe my dog == Work == - [ ] beg for *pay rise* == Knitting club == === Knitting projects === - [ ] a *funny pig* - [ ] a *scary dog* Then, to jump from your index.wiki directly to your knitting projects, use: > [[Todo#Knitting projects]] Or, to jump to an individual project, use this link: > [[Todo#funny pig]] Or, to jump to a tag, use this link: > [[Todo#todo-lists]] If there are multiple instances of an anchor, you can use the long form which consists of the complete header hierarchy, separated by '#': > [[Todo#My tasks#Knitting club#Knitting projects#scary dog]] If you don't feel like typing the whole stuff, type just [[Todo# and then |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| to start the omni completion of anchors. For jumping inside a single file, you can omit the file in the link: > [[#pay rise]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Table of Contents *vimwiki-toc* *vimwiki-table-of-contents* You can create a "table of contents" at the top of your wiki file. The command |:VimwikiTOC| creates the magic header > = Contents = in the current file and below it a list of all the headers in this file as links, so you can directly jump to specific parts of the file. For the indentation of the list, the value of |vimwiki-option-list_margin| is used. If you don't want the TOC to sit in the very first line, e.g. because you have a modeline there, put the magic header in the second or third line and run :VimwikiTOC to update the TOC. If English is not your preferred language, set the option |g:vimwiki_toc_header| to your favorite translation. If you want to keep the TOC up to date automatically, use the option |vimwiki-option-auto_toc|. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tagbar integration *vimwiki-tagbar* As an alternative to the Table of Contents, you can use the Tagbar plugin (https://preservim.github.io/tagbar/) to show the headers of your wiki files in a side pane. Download the Python script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vimwiki/utils/master/vwtags.py and follow the instructions in it. ============================================================================== 12. 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 |vimwiki-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|. A note for Vim power users: If you have an elaborated Vim setup, where you e.g. load plugins conditionally, make sure the settings are set before Vimwiki loads (that is, before plugin/vimwiki.vim is sourced). If this is not possible, try this command after the Vimwiki settings are (re-) set: > :call vimwiki#vars#init() If you also want to reload syntax variables, prefix the last command by: > :unlet g:vimwiki_syntaxlocal_vars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12.1 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/. When converted to HTML, the produced HTML files go 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] < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12.2 Temporary Wiki *vimwiki-temporary-wiki* The creation of temporary wikis allows you to create a wiki on the fly. 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 is 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12.3 Per-Wiki Options *vimwiki-local-options* *vimwiki-option-path* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value~ path ~/vimwiki/ Description~ Wiki files location: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/'}] < *vimwiki-option-path_html* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value~ path_html '' Description~ Location of HTML files converted from wiki files: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', \ 'path_html': '~/html_site/'}] If path_html is an empty string, the location is derived from |vimwiki-option-path| by adding '_html'; i.e. for: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/okidoki/'}] path_html will be set to '~/okidoki_html/'. *vimwiki-option-name* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value~ name '' Description~ A name that can be used to create interwiki links: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', \ 'name': 'My Wiki'}] Valid names can contain letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and dashes. If duplicate names are used the interwiki link will jump to the first wiki with a matching name in |g:vimwiki_list|. The assigned wiki name will also be shown in the menu entries in GVim. See the option |g:vimwiki_menu|. *vimwiki-option-auto_export* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value Values~ auto_export 0 0, 1 Description~ Set this option to 1 to automatically generate the HTML file when the corresponding wiki page is saved: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', 'auto_export': 1}] This will keep your HTML files up to date. *vimwiki-option-auto_toc* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value Values~ auto_toc 0 0, 1 Description~ Set this option to 1 to automatically update the table of contents when the current wiki page is saved: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', 'auto_toc': 1}] *vimwiki-option-index* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value~ index index Description~ Name of wiki index file: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', 'index': 'main'}] NOTE: Do not include the extension. *vimwiki-option-ext* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value~ ext .wiki Description~ Extension of wiki files: > let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/my_site/', \ 'index': 'main', 'ext': '.document'}] < *vimwiki-option-syntax* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key Default value Values~ syntax default default, markdown, or media Description~ Wiki syntax.

License |vimwiki-license| ============================================================================== 1. Intro *vimwiki-intro* Vimwiki makes it very easy for you create a personal wiki using the Vim text editor. A wiki is a collection of text documents linked together and formatted with wiki or markdown syntax that can be highlighted for readability using Vim's syntax highlighting feature. With Vimwiki you can: - organize notes and ideas - manage todo-lists - write documentation - maintain a diary - export your documents to HTML Getting started with Vimwiki is easy. Once installed, simply type `vim` into your terminal to launch Vim and then type ww (the key is `\` by default) to create or open the index wiki file, the "top" page in your hierarchical collection of wiki pages. By default, this page will be located at ~/vimwiki/index.wiki. Now add the following example lines to the document: = My knowledge base = * Tasks -- things to be done _yesterday_!!! * Project Gutenberg -- good books are power. * Scratchpad -- various temporary stuff. Next, move your cursor to the word 'Tasks' and press `Enter`. This will create a Vimwiki link by surrounding 'Tasks' with double square brackets: '[[Tasks]]'. Pressing `Enter` a second time will generate a new blank buffer in Vim where you can input your tasks. After you add some tasks and save the new file, you can hit `Backspace` to jump back to the index document. A Vimwiki link can contain multiple words by entering Vim's "visual" mode (the "v" key, by default) and selecting the words to be linked. Once selected, press `Enter`. Try this now by selecting 'Project Gutenberg' in visual mode and hitting `Enter`. The sample text should now look something like this: = My knowledge base = * [[Tasks]] -- things to be done _yesterday_!!! * [[Project Gutenberg]] -- good books are power. * Scratchpad -- various temporary stuff. By continuing this way and creating sub pages with links to even more sub pages, you can create an unlimited number of neatly structured, interconnected documents to help you organize your notes, documentation, and tasks. ============================================================================== 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. ============================================================================== 3. Mappings *vimwiki-mappings* There are global and local mappings in Vimwiki. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.1. Global mappings *vimwiki-global-mappings* Below is a list of all default global key mappings provided by Vimwiki. As global settings, they work in all vim sessions no matter what filetype you have open. Vimwiki respects pre-existing global mappings created by you or other plugins and will not overwrite them. If a conflict exists between Vimwiki and pre-existing maps or if you wish to customize these default mappings, you can remap them with: > :nmap {map} {command} where `{map}` is the new key sequence of your choosing `{command}` is the Vimwiki command you are remapping So, for example, to remap the |:VimwikiIndex| mapping, you'd do something like: > :nmap wx VimwikiIndex Note that the recursive version of "map" command is needed to expand the right hand side to retrieve the definition. "noremap" will not work. is required and considered to be part of the command. You can also place remappings in your vimrc file, without the leading colon, of course. *vimwiki_ww* [count]ww Open index file of the [count]'s wiki. ww opens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list| if no wiki is open. Otherwise the index of the currently active wiki is opened. 1ww opens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2ww opens the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3ww opens the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. Remap command: `VimwikiIndex` See also |:VimwikiIndex| *vimwiki_wt* [count]wt Open index file of the [count]'s wiki in a new tab. wt tabopens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 1wt as above tabopens the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2wt tabopens the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3wt tabopens the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. Remap command: `VimwikiTabIndex` See also |:VimwikiTabIndex| *vimwiki_ws* ws List and select available wikis. Remap command: `VimwikiUISelect` See also |:VimwikiUISelect| *vimwiki_wi* [count]wi Open diary index file of the [count]'s wiki. wi opens diary index file of the current wiki. 1wi opens diary index file of the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2wi opens diary index file of the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. Remap command: `VimwikiDiaryIndex` See also |:VimwikiDiaryIndex| *vimwiki_ww* [count]ww Open diary wiki-file for today of the [count]'s wiki. ww opens diary wiki-file for today in the current wiki 1ww opens diary wiki-file for today in the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2ww opens diary wiki-file for today in the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3ww opens diary wiki-file for today in the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. Remap command: `VimwikiMakeDiaryNote` See also |:VimwikiMakeDiaryNote| *vimwiki_wt* [count]wt Open diary wiki-file for today of the [count]'s wiki in a new tab. wt tabopens diary wiki-file for today in the current wiki 1wt tabopens diary wiki-file for today in the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2wt tabopens diary wiki-file for today in the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3wt tabopens diary wiki-file for today in the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. Remap command: `VimwikiTabMakeDiaryNote` See also |:VimwikiTabMakeDiaryNote| *vimwiki_wy* [count]wy Open diary wiki-file for yesterday of the [count]'s wiki. wy opens diary wiki-file for yesterday in the current wiki 1wy opens diary wiki-file for yesterday in the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2wy opens diary wiki-file for yesterday in the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3wy opens diary wiki-file for yesterday in the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. Remap command: `VimwikiMakeYesterdayDiaryNote` See also |:VimwikiMakeYesterdayDiaryNote| *vimwiki_wm* [count]wm Open diary wiki-file for tomorrow of the [count]'s wiki. wm opens diary wiki-file for tomorrow in the current wiki 1wm opens diary wiki-file for tomorrow in the first wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 2wm opens diary wiki-file for tomorrow in the second wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. 3wm opens diary wiki-file for tomorrow in the third wiki from |g:vimwiki_list|. etc. Remap command: `VimwikiMakeTomorrowDiaryNote` See also |:VimwikiMakeTomorrowDiaryNote| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.2. Local mappings *vimwiki-local-mappings* Below is a listing of all local key mappings provided by Vimwiki. As local settings, they are available when |FileType| is set to "vimwiki". These mappings may overwrite pre-existing mappings, but they can be remapped or disabled (see |g:vimwiki_key_mappings|). To remap commands that begin with , you should do the following: :{mode}map {map} {command} For commands that do not begin with , do: :{mode}noremap {map} {command} where `{mode}` is set to `n` for "normal" mode, `v` for "visual", and `i` for "insert" `{map}` is the new key sequence of your choosing `{command}` is the Vimwiki command you are remapping Examples: > :nmap tl VimwikiToggleListItem :vmap tl VimwikiToggleListItem :nnoremap glo :VimwikiChangeSymbolTo a) The first two lines remap "\tl" to the |:VimwikiToggleListItem| command in both normal and visual modes. || is set to "\" by default. Use `:echo mapleader` to determine if it is set to another value. The third map listed above, which does not contain , maps directly to an |Ex| mode command. Note that |map| is needed for commands beginning with . This recursive version of the "map" command is needed to expand the right hand side to retrieve the definition. "noremap" will not work. is required and considered to be part of the command. It is recommended that you place your local mappings into a file at ftplugin/vimwiki.vim within your .vim configuration directory. Create this file if it doesn't already exist. Or, if you prefer, you can set up a FileType |autocmd| in your vimrc. Note: it may be desirable to add ` ` to mapped commands but this should only be done if the mappings are placed in ftplugin or in a Filetype based autocommand. See the Vim help for a description of these options. MAP MODE *vimwiki_wh* wh n Convert current wiki page to HTML.

If the argument 'reuse' is given and nonzero, the link is opened in a possibly existing split window instead of making a new split. If 'move_cursor' is given and nonzero, the cursor moves to the window with the opened link, otherwise, it stays in the window with the link. *:VimwikiVSplitLink* [reuse] [move_cursor] Vertical split and follow wiki link (create target wiki page if needed). If the argument 'reuse' is given and nonzero, the link is opened in a possibly existing split window instead of making a new split. If 'move_cursor' is given and nonzero, the cursor moves to the window with the opened link, otherwise, it stays in the window with the link. *:VimwikiBaddLink* Add to the buffer list, without loading, if it wasn't listed yet (create target wiki page if needed). *:VimwikiTabnewLink* Follow wiki link in a new tab (create target wiki page if needed). *:VimwikiTabDropLink* Follow wiki link with tab drop, reusing any existing tabs with the page. Creates a new tab if the page isn't already open (create target wiki page if needed). *:VimwikiNextLink* Find next link on the current page. *:VimwikiPrevLink* Find previous link on the current page. *:VimwikiGoto* Goto link provided by an argument. For example: > :VimwikiGoto HelloWorld < opens/creates HelloWorld wiki page. Supports |cmdline-completion| for link name. If name is not specified, a prompt will be shown. *:VimwikiDeleteFile* Delete the wiki page you are in. *:VimwikiRenameFile* Rename the wiki page you are in. *:VimwikiRemoveDone* With range: Remove all lines that have a checked |vimwiki-todo-lists| checkbox Otherwise: Remove all lines in the current todo-list that have a checked box. This is applied to the list in which the cursor is in, as well as all its sublists. The status of parents is updated accordingly. If you want to remove only items of the current nesting level, (re)define a command that calls the same function with `0` as first argument: > :command! -buffer -range VimwikiRemoveDone call \ vimwiki#lst#remove_done(0, "", , ) < *:VimwikiNextTask* Jump to the next unfinished task in the current wiki page. *:Vimwiki2HTML* Convert current wiki page to HTML using Vimwiki's own converter or a user-supplied script (see |vimwiki-option-custom_wiki2html|). *:Vimwiki2HTMLBrowse* Convert current wiki page to HTML and open it in the webbrowser. *:VimwikiAll2HTML[!]* Convert all wiki pages to HTML. Default CSS file (style.css) is created if there is no one. By default, only converts wiki pages which have not already been converted or have been modified since their last conversion. With !, convert all pages, regardless of whether or not they are out-of-date. *:VimwikiRss* Generate an RSS feed for the latest diary entries. *:VimwikiToggleListItem* Toggle checkbox of a list item on/off. See |vimwiki-todo-lists|. *:VimwikiToggleRejectedListItem* Toggle checkbox of a list item disabled/off. See |vimwiki-todo-lists|. *:VimwikiListChangeLvl* CMD Change the nesting level, or symbol, for a single-line list item. CMD may be ">>" or "<<" to change the indentation of the item, or one of the syntax-specific bullets: "*", "#", "1.", "-". See |vimwiki-todo-lists|. *:VimwikiSearch* /pattern/ *:VWS* /pattern/ Search for /pattern/ in all files of current wiki. To display all matches use |:lopen| command. To display next match use |:lnext| command. To display previous match use |:lprevious| command. Hint: this feature is simply a wrapper around |:lvimgrep|. For a complete description of the search pattern format, see |:vimgrep|. For example, to perform a case-insensitive search, use > :VWS /\cpattern/ *:VimwikiBacklinks* *:VWB* Search for wikilinks to the current wiki page in all files of current wiki. To display all matches use |:lopen| command. To display next match use |:lnext| command. To display previous match use |:lprevious| command. *:VimwikiTable* Create a table with 5 cols and 2 rows. :VimwikiTable cols rows Create a table with the given cols and rows :VimwikiTable cols Create a table with the given cols and 2 rows *:VimwikiTableMoveColumnLeft* , *:VimwikiTableMoveColumnRight* Move current column to the left or to the right: Example: > | head1 | head2 | head3 | head4 | head5 | |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | value1 | value2 | value3 | value4 | value5 | Cursor is on 'head1'. :VimwikiTableMoveColumnRight | head2 | head1 | head3 | head4 | head5 | |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | value2 | value1 | value3 | value4 | value5 | Cursor is on 'head3'. :VimwikiTableMoveColumnLeft | head2 | head3 | head1 | head4 | head5 | |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------| | value2 | value3 | value1 | value4 | value5 | < Commands are mapped to and respectively. *:VimwikiGenerateLinks* [pattern] Insert a list of links to all available wiki files into the current buffer. If an optional 'pattern' is given as argument, the files will be searched in the wiki root folder according to the 'pattern' as |globpath| *:VimwikiDiaryGenerateLinks* Delete old, insert new diary section into diary index file. *:VimwikiDiaryNextDay* Open next day diary link if available. Mapped to . *:VimwikiDiaryPrevDay* Open previous day diary link if available. Mapped to . *:VimwikiTOC* Create or update the Table of Contents for the current wiki file. See |vimwiki-toc|. *:VimwikiCheckLinks* Search through all wiki files and check if the targets of all wiki links and links to external files actually exist. Check also if all wiki files are reachable from the index file. The results are shown in the quickfix window. This can be used to find "Orphaned" wiki files/pages. With range: the wiki number, by default current wiki *:VimwikiRebuildTags* Rebuilds the tags metadata file for all wiki files newer than the metadata file. Necessary for all tags related commands: |vimwiki-syntax-tags|. :VimwikiRebuildTags! does the same for all files. *:VimwikiSearchTags* Searches over the pages in current wiki and finds all locations of a given tag. Supports |cmdline-completion|. *:VimwikiGenerateTagLinks* tagname1 tagname2 ... Creates or updates an overview on all tags of the wiki with links to all their instances. Supports |cmdline-completion|. If no arguments (tags) are specified, outputs all tags. To make this command work properly, make sure the tags have been built (see |vimwiki-build-tags|). *:VimwikiColorize* red Colorize |range| of lines with the color given in argument. The possible colors are configured by |vimwiki-option-color_dic| and the format of the surrounding color tags by |vimwiki-option-color_tag_template| *:VimwikiPasteLink* Pastes an absolute wiki link (relative to the wiki root) to the current wiki file into the current buffer *:VimwikiPasteUrl* Pastes the url to the html file corresponding to the current wiki file into the current buffer ============================================================================== 5. Wiki syntax *vimwiki-syntax* There are a lot of different wikis out there. Most of them have their own syntax and Vimwiki 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|. The Markdown specification Vimwiki is trying to stick to can be found at: https://github.github.com/gfm 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 give you a bit of control over how your text is decorated: > *bold text* _italic text_ _*bold italic text*_ *_bold italic text _* ~~strikeout text~~ `code (no syntax) text` super^script^ sub,,script,, For Markdown syntax these variations are used: > **bold text** or __bold text__ *italic text* or _italic text_ ***bold_italic text*** or ___italic_bold text___ Furthermore, there are a number of words which are highlighted extra flashy: TODO, DONE, STARTED, FIXME, FIXED, XXX (customisable, see |g:vimwiki-option-rx_todo|). When rendered as HTML, code blocks containing only a hash prefixed 6 digit hex number will be colored as themselves. For example > `#ffe119` Becomes > #ffe119 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.2. Links *vimwiki-syntax-links* Wikilinks~ Plain link: > [[This is a link]] With description: > [[This is a link source|Description of the link]] Wiki files don't need to be in the root directory of your wiki, you can put them in subdirectories as well: > [[projects/Important Project 1]] To jump from that file back to the index file, use this link: > [[../index]] or: > [[/index]] The latter works because wiki links starting with "/" are considered to be absolute to the wiki root directory, that is, the link [[/index]] always opens the file /path/to/your/wiki/index.wiki, no matter in which subdirectory you are currently in. If you want to use an absolute path to a wiki page on your local filesystem, you can prefix the path with // > [[//absolute_path]] For example: > [[///tmp/in_root_tmp]] [[//~/in_home_dir]] [[//$HOME/in_home_dir]] In a wiki with the default wiki extension, this link: > [[///tmp/foo]] Links to the file: > /tmp/foo.wiki Links to subdirectories inside the wiki directory are also supported. They end with a "/": > [[a subdirectory/|Other files]] Use |g:vimwiki_dir_link| to control the behavior when opening directories. Typing wikilinks can be simplified by using Vim's omni completion (see |compl-omni|) like so: > [[ind

which opens up a popup menu with all the wiki files starting with "ind". When |vimwiki-option-maxhi| equals 1, a distinct highlighting style is used to identify wikilinks whose targets are not found. Interwiki~ If you maintain more than one wiki, you can create interwiki links between them by adding a numbered prefix "wikiX:" in front of a link: > [[wiki1:This is a link]] or: > [[wiki1:This is a link source|Description of the link]] The number behind "wiki" is in the range 0..N-1 and identifies the destination wiki in |g:vimwiki_list|. Named interwiki links are also supported in the format "wn.name:link" > [[wn.My Name:This is a link]] or: > [[wn.MyWiki:This is a link source|Description of the link]] See |vimwiki-option-name| to set a per wiki name. Diary~ The "diary:" scheme is used to link to diary entries: > [[diary:2012-03-05]] Anchors~ A wikilink, interwiki link or diary link can be followed by a '#' and the name of an anchor. When opening a link, the cursor jumps to the anchor. > [[Todo List#Tomorrow|Tasks for tomorrow]] To jump inside the current wiki file you can omit the file: > [[#Tomorrow]] See |vimwiki-anchors| for how to set an anchor. Raw URLs~ Raw URLs are also supported: > https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki.git mailto:habamax@gmail.com ftp://vim.org External files~ The "file:" and "local:" schemes allow you to directly link to arbitrary resources using absolute or relative paths: > [[file:/home/somebody/a/b/c/music.mp3]] [[file:C:/Users/somebody/d/e/f/music.mp3]] [[file:~/a/b/c/music.mp3]] [[file:../assets/data.csv|Important Data]] [[local:C:/Users/somebody/d/e/f/music.mp3]] [[file:/home/user/documents/|Link to a directory]] These links are opened with the system command, i.e. !xdg-open (Linux), !open (Mac), or !start (Windows). To customize this behavior, see |VimwikiLinkHandler|. In Vim, "file:" and "local:" behave the same, i.e. you can use them with both relative and absolute links. When converted to HTML, however, "file:" links will become absolute links, while "local:" links become relative to the HTML output directory. The latter can be useful if you copy your HTML files to another computer. To customize the HTML conversion of links, see |VimwikiLinkConverter|. 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: > {{file:../../images/vimwiki_logo.png}} or from a universal URL: > {{https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vimwiki/vimwiki/master/doc/splash.png}} Transclude image with alternate text: > {{https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vimwiki/vimwiki/master/doc/splash.png|Vimwiki}} in HTML: > Vimwiki

Transclude image with alternate text and some style: > {{https://.../vimwiki_logo.png|cool stuff|style="width:150px;height:120px;"}} in HTML: >

Transclude image _without_ alternate text and with a CSS class: > {{https://.../vimwiki_logo.png||class="center flow blabla"}} in HTML: >

A trial feature allows you to supply your own handler for wiki-include links. See |VimwikiWikiIncludeHandler|. Thumbnail links~ > Thumbnail links are constructed like this: > [[https://someaddr.com/bigpicture.jpg|{{https://someaddr.com/thumbnail.jpg}}]] in HTML: >
