Came back to vimwiki after using it for years previously:
Things I've liked:
* Now supports Markdown, including for internal linking instead of just the Vimwiki markup
* I'd use just straight Vim, but being able to select a phrase, and quickly make a page to that and link them is nice.
* The HTML and link handling is nice, and it will auto hide the long URLs unless you're actively on them
* Outlines, outlines, outlines. I use them for everything, and they're handled well
* I'll even throw in the occational table, and the auto formatting also works for tables.
* At the end of the day, everything is Markdown text files.
- hermitdev 6y agoI've been using Vim as my main editor on BSD, Linux and Windows for > 20 years. I also use Vim extensions in the IDEs I use (Visual Studio, VS Code, PyCharm). One of the things I love about PyCharm when dealing with Markdown is that you get a nice preview rendering side-by-side with the raw Markdown. Very useful. I'm not sure if VS or VS Code have something similar. At least VS Code, if it's possible, it's not enabled by default. Might be possible with an extension.
- felixr 6y agoI use https://github.com/iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim https://github.com/iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim with Neovim (should work with vim >=8 as well) It gives you live preview in browser. It also scrolls automatically to the part your vim cursor is at.
- Anthony-G 6y agoThanks for this comment! I already use Vim to edit semi-organised (Pandoc-style) Markdown files that I search using grep. I thought about trying vimwiki a few years ago but didn't want to learn another markup language. Glad to hear it now supports Markdown so I'll give it a try.
