Maybe I'm just old but I miss the old MoinMoin syntax. A lot of markups are so complicated (mediawiki) I'd rather just write HTML. For my personal notes I now just use vim and a custom syntax file to give color to special names and headings. I've used markdown before but it seemed like different tools treated the language slightly different.

I do the same for my personal notes. Something like (the actual contents differ because I take notes in my native tongue): if exists("b:current_syntax") finish endif syn match diaryHashtag "\w\@<!#[A-Za-z]\+" syn match diaryInlineCode "`[^`]\+`" syn match diaryLineMarker "^[ \t]*\%([0-9]\+\.\|[*-]\)\S\@!" syn match diaryInlineMarker "=>\|\S\@<!(\?\%(i\{1,3}\|iv\|vi\{0,3}\|ix\|x\))\S\@!" syn match diaryInlineDate "\<\%(today\|yesterday\|tomorrow\|\%(\%(next\|last\)\s\)\=\%(mon\|tue\|wed\|thu\|fri\|sat\|sun\)\|20\d\d-\d\d\%(-\d\d\)\=\)" syn match diaryInlineTime "\<\%(\d\d\=:\d\d\|morning\|afternoon\|night\)" hi default link diaryHashtag String hi default link diaryInlineCode Delimiter hi default link diaryLineMarker Statement hi default link diaryInlineMarker Statement hi default link diaryInlineDate Comment hi default link diaryInlineTime Comment let b:current_syntax = 'diary' But this system is entirely unusable for longer and potentially public writings.

  I used something similar, along with a few additions to add timestamp as a column on the left etc. I've since switched over to org-mode though, I find that the agenda integration and a couple of org-journal plugins make for easy task management. I'd really like an alternative that lets me handle this on mobile, so far I've tried termux and the github edit file interface, and neither are as satisfactory.
