This is a simple script that helps keep a collection of notes organized and allows vim help style linking. 

VimNotes will:
1.  Automatically create an Index of links and display it in a Menu in Gvim.
2.  Tag file is automatically regenerated every time a VimNote is saved.
3.  

VimNotes Configuration:  

VimNotes has a few configuration options at the top of the VimNotes.vim file.
You should review these and make any desired changes.

Default Notes Directory:         
by default all notes are kept in a single directory.

  let g:VN_DefaultDir = "~/Notes"

Folds:
VimNotes can be configured to fold note subsections (1) or not (0)

  let g:VN_FoldEnable = "1"


Note Header Configuration:
The default ("d") header will include filename, created date and last
modified date and by whom.  Or you can use a minimalist ("m") header.

  let g:VN_Header = "d"

Note Section Divider:
Setting this to "1" will place a divider line of ---- between note sections.
Setting it to "0", will disable a visible seperater.
  let g:VN_SectionSep = "1"

Default Web Browser:
VimNotes can open links in a browser of your choosing.
Examples: 
  let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "konqueror"
  let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "links -g"
  let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "konsole -e lynx"
  let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "xterm -e lynx"
  let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "mozilla"

Keymappings:
If you would like to change any of the keymappings for this script,
add the following lines:
               map <-key-to-use> <PLUG><-function-to-map>
               map! <-key-to-use> <PLUG><-function-to-map>
Default Config:
               VN_NewFile                    <F2>
               VN_NewSection              <F3>
               VN_Search                     <F4>
               VN_OpenHTTPLink         <F5>
      Note: VN_NewFile is always available, however VN_NewSection, 
               VN_Search, and VN_OpenHTTPLink are only available if the
               current buffer is a VimNote.

 Example:
               map  <F1> <Plug>VN_Search
               map! <F1> <Plug>VN_Search

Customizing Syntax Colors:
  You can link the group to an existing syntax group with this command:
       highlight link <vimnotes-group>  <group>
  You can find the available group names in your current syntax file:
       /usr/local/share/vim/vim62/colors/
Default Config:
               highlight link VN_Bullet          Comment
               highlight link VN_Checkbox        Function
               highlight link VN_CheckboxDone    Comment
               highlight link VN_HyperTextJump   Function
