How to manage your website content with vimwiki and markdown

You can see the Result here: https://ljurk.github.io

install vimwiki plugin

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
    Plug 'vimwiki/vimwiki'
call plug#end()

To add .md files to vimwiki filetypes add this to your ~/.vimrc:

" filetypes for vimwiki
let g:vimwiki_ext2syntax = {'.Rmd': 'markdown', '.rmd': 'markdown','.md': 'markdown', '.markdown': 'markdown',     '.mdown': 'markdown', 'txt' : '.txt'}

install pandoc

pacman -S pandoc

get makefile and style.css from github

start by editing your index.md(idealy in webroot)

---
title: 303
---

# linux

about

In vimwiki you generate links by pressing enter on a word(for example: about) to generate the about.md file, if you press enter again you access this file and edit it

Psst

Save your file and then press the backspace to go back to your index.md

when compiling pandoc creates two files: index.html and about.html

server> ~ / var / www / html > make
rm -f index.html about.html
pandoc --smart --standalone style.css -o index.html index.md
pandoc --smart --standalone style.css -o about.html about.md

There is one problem: pandoc will translate the link in the index to ./about You can’t access your about site, because your file is named about.html

That’s why some apache magic is needed. Add this to your virtual-host config

#if foo requested, return foo.html contents
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]

#redirect foo.html to foo
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ $1 [R,L]
