What is Vimwiki?
Vimwiki is a personal wiki system designed for the Vim text editor. It consists of a collection of interlinked text files that can be easily edited and organized within the Vim environment. The files use a simple syntax that allows for automatic generation of tables of contents, lists, and other wiki-like functionality, all with the benefit of Vim's powerful editing capabilities and syntax highlighting
