Comparison

First things first.

There are some other note plugins in Vim, like vimwiki, vim-notes, VOoM, etc.

Also org-mode if you are an Emacs fan.

Why use this plugin?

In comparison, the biggest advantage of Riv.vim is reStructuredText support.

reStructuredText is a markup language.

Its syntax is similar to markdown, but more powerful and extensible. Tables, LaTex, etc. are supported.

It's widely used in the Python community, and has many relevant plugins. Sphinx (www.readthedocs.org) Pygments, Nikola, etc.

Here is a post comparing reStructuredText and Markdown: https://gist.github.com/dupuy/1855764

Features

Wiki

Editing

  • To view the quick reference of Vim, use :h quickref.

Issues

The bug tracker for Riv is at https://github.com/Rykka/riv.vim/issues. You can use it to report bugs and open feature requests. Discussions related to Riv are welcome too.

You can follow my twitter @rykkaf and tweet me there too.

Common Issues

  • If you get errors with folding in documents, you can try to force reload using :RivReload or <C-E>t`.

    Or just :w as it will auto-refold after saving.

  • Windows:

    • Converting to other formats may fail.

      This could happen due to Docutils not working correctly with vimrun.exe.

  • Mac OS:

    • Lists don't act as expected.

      This could happen if the <C-Enter> key could not be mapped. Try some other mapping instead.
