Vimwiki
Vimwiki is a personal wiki plugin and text editor extension for Vim that organizes interconnected text files. It functions as a Markdown knowledge base and a Zettelkasten note system, allowing for the creation of a networked system of notes and documentation.
The project provides tools for wiki administration, enabling users to create, rename, and navigate between linked documents via internal linking. It supports various markup formats, including Markdown and MediaWiki, and can transform this content into HTML for web publishing.
The system covers personal knowledge management through global search, tagging, and navigation. It includes specialized workflows for daily journaling with chronological logs, as well as task management using hierarchical lists and structured text.
