Changing the delimiter of the tag

[Tecvoc]

I have been using a custom script along with pandoc for converting vimwiki in markdown format to html, along with emojis. However emojis have a syntax very similar to tags ( like :star : for ⭐) and they create new tags.

Is there is a way we can set the delimiter in the vimwiki global options for tags.

Currently I have identified as to where the change are needed, in order to do so, however due to limited vimscript knowledge I am just posting the diff code that worked for me.

syntax/vimwiki_markdown.vim

-let s:markdown_syntax.tag_search = '\(^\|\s\)\zs:\([^:''[:space:]]\+:\)\+\ze\(\s\|$\)'
+let s:markdown_syntax.tag_search = '\(^\|\s\)\zs@\([^@''[:space:]]\+@\)\+\ze\(\s\|$\)'

autoload/vimwiki/tags.vim
-     for tag in split(tag_group, ':')
+     for tag in split(tag_group, '@')

The above changes the delimiter to '@' like @mytag1@.

	*g:vimwiki_tag_format*
	Dictionary to describe the format of the tags vimwiki uses to highlight,
	generate and follow_link
	| Key | Default | Description
	----------------------------------------------------- ReGeX
	| pre | '^\|\s' | Limitations to tag precedence
	| pre_mark | ':' | Tag list opener
	| in | '[:space:]]\+' | Tag permitted characters
	| sep | ':' | Tag separators in a tag list
	| post_mark | ':' | Tag list closer
	| post | '\s\|$' | Limitations to tag following
	----------------------------------------------------- Number
	| conceal | 0 | Do conceal the tag
	----------------------------------------------------- Character
	| cchar | '' | If conceal, the conceal char
	The default dictionary gets |extends| with the user provided dictionary. So it
	is only necessary to provide the values to change. For Example, to use a:
	- Tag like: >
	<<tag1|tag2>>
	- Set: >
	let g:vimwiki_tag_format = {'pre_mark': '<<', 'post_mark': '>>', 'sep': '|'}
	- Tag like: >
	tags: @tag1 @tag2
	- Set: >
	let g:vimwiki_tag_format = {'pre': '\(^[ -]*tags\s*: .*\)\@<=',
	\ 'pre_mark': '@', 'post_mark': '', 'sep': '>><<'}

In your case ( after rebase on dev ):

let g:vimwiki_tag_format = {'pre_mark': '@', 'post_mark': '@', 'sep': '@'}
