VimWiki link not supported in HTML conversion #11

Closed itsdawei closed 3 years ago

itsdawei commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a non-supported feature.

I am organizing my VimWiki using built-in VimWiki links using double brackets (i.e. [[index.md]]). However, it doesn't seem to work.

For example, I have the following: image which converts to the following: image

Not sure if this is intended, but it would be nice if the conversion handled this and automatically links to the target file/webpage. This would allow creating the main HTML page that can be navigated to other subpages - much like how a website is actually stuctured.

A workaround that I found is replacing the wiki link with the absolute path of the target file using the markdown link syntax, such as [swift](~/vimwiki/swift/index.md). This will create a hyperlink in the HTML file and allow navigation between files in your system.

Not sure if this is a necessary feature, but just thought it might be interesting to be able to link to other HTML files in your system. :)

Actually if your markdown file reside inside your vimwiki folder you can reference it using the following syntax:

[swift](swift/index)

No need to expand the whole path. I personally use this syntax for my own wiki index.

Mixing vimwiki and markdown syntax is not supported, also, imho, I don't think it's a good practice.

Oh, I didn't realize that the double brackets are exclusive vimwiki syntax. My bad. I will try what you are suggesting. Thanks

It works perfectly! Thanks.

A problem that I had was that i accidentally wrote:

[swift](/swfit/index)

rather than:

[swift](swift/index)

The latter syntax works with link redirection in the HTML page, while the former doesn't.
