You don't even need the temporary files: $ vim ...write, write, write... :w !fossil wiki create "The Foo Article" - :q! Later: $ vim :r !fossil wiki export "The Foo Article" - ...write, write, write some more... :w !fossil wiki commit "The Foo Article" - Wrapping all of that up into Vim macros would be a small matter for someone sufficiently interested. Also, someone wanting to edit wiki-like docs in a text editor rather than in the web UI is probably going to find Fossil's embedded docs feature more useful anyway: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/embeddeddoc.wiki https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/embeddeddoc.wiki
