Usage

Add the following to your ~/.vimrc:

let g:vimwiki_list = [{
	\ 'path': '~/vimwiki',
	\ 'template_path': '~/vimwiki/templates/',
	\ 'template_default': 'default',
	\ 'syntax': 'markdown',
	\ 'ext': '.md',
	\ 'path_html': '~/vimwiki/site_html/',
	\ 'custom_wiki2html': 'vimwiki_markdown',
	\ 'template_ext': '.tpl'}]

Markdown extensions

The following markdown extensions are activated by default:

• fenced_code
• tables
• CodeHilite

But you can add more extensions using VIMWIKI_MARKDOWN_EXTENSIONS environment variable, which is a coma separated list of extensions.

Syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting is provided by Pygments, which will try to guess language by default.

You can use regular markdown indented code blocks:

	:::python
	for value range(42):
		print(value)

Or Fenced Code Blocks

```python
for value range(42):
	print(value)
```

You can also highlight line using hl_lines argument:

```python hl_lines="1 3"
for value range(42):
	print(value)
```

Pygments can generate CSS rules for you. Just run the following command from the command line:

pygmentize -S default -f html -a .codehilite > styles.css

If you would like to use a different theme, swap out default for the desired theme. For a list of themes installed on your system, run the following command:

pygmentize -L style

If you are lazy you can just use the one in this repository inside css directory which provide the monokai theme.
