-1. INTRODUCTION *muwiki-introduction*
+1. INTRODUCTION *muwiki-intro*
-muwiki.nvim is a lightweight wiki plugin for Neovim that uses standard
-markdown syntax for creating and navigating wiki-style documentation.
+MuWiki is a lightweight wiki plugin for Neovim using standard markdown syntax.
+It provides:
-Features:~
- Standard markdown links `[text](url)`
-- Multiple wiki directories support
-- External link handlers for custom URL/file opening
-- Link navigation with custom keymaps
+- Multiple wiki directories
+- Link navigation and xdg-open for web/file links
+- Extensible via autocmds (mkdir, templates, custom handlers)
+
+==============================================================================
+2. REQUIREMENTS *muwiki-requirements*
-Requirements:~
- Neovim v0.10+
- Treesitter markdown parsers (`:TSInstall markdown markdown_inline`)

-4. COMMANDS AND API *muwiki-commands*
-
-All functions are accessed through the main module: `require("muwiki")`
-
- *muwiki.open_index()*
->lua
- require("muwiki").open_index(name)
+Using lazy.nvim~
+>
+ {
+ url = "https://git.3kgcat.fi/muwiki.nvim",
+ keys = {
+ { "<leader>ww", function() require("muwiki").open_index("default") end, desc = "Open wiki index" },
+ },
+ opts = {
+ dirs = {{ name = 'default', path = '~/wiki' }},
+ },
+ }
<
-Open the index file of a wiki.
-
-Parameters:~
- {name} Wiki directory name as configured in `dirs`
-
-Example:~
->lua
- -- Open the default wiki index
- require("muwiki").open_index("default")
- -- Can be bound to a key
- vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ww', function()
- require("muwiki").open_index("default")
- end)
+==============================================================================
+4. CONFIGURATION *muwiki-configuration*
+
+The plugin is configured using the |muwiki.setup()| function.
+
+Configuration Options~
+
+ *muwiki-opt-dirs*
+dirs List of wiki directories.
+ Each entry is a table with:
+ - name: Wiki name for reference
+ - path: Absolute path to wiki directory
+ Default: nil
+
+ *muwiki-opt-index_file*
+index_file Name of the index file for each wiki.
+ Default: 'index.md'
+
+Example Configuration~
+>
+ local muwiki = require('muwiki')
+
+ muwiki.setup({
+ dirs = {
+ { name = 'default', path = '~/wiki' },
+ { name = 'work', path = '~/work/wiki' },
+ },
+ index_file = 'index.md',
+ })
<
- *muwiki.open_link()*
->lua
- require("muwiki").open_link()
-<
-Open the link under the cursor. Automatically detects link type:
-- Wiki links: Opens in Neovim (creates new page if doesn't exist)
-- Web links: Opens with xdg-open
-- File links: Opens with xdg-open or in Neovim (for text_extensions)
-
-Note: This function uses xdg-open directly and ignores custom
-external_handlers configuration. File existence is checked for file://
-links and an error is shown if the file is not found.
-Use |muwiki.open_link_with()| to utilize custom handlers.
-
- *muwiki.next_link()*
->lua
- require("muwiki").next_link()
+==============================================================================
+5. COMMANDS & FUNCTIONS *muwiki-commands*

+ muwiki.open_index("default")
+ end, { desc = "Open wiki index" })
+
+ -- Keymaps for wiki navigation (only active in wiki files)
+ vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
+ pattern = "markdown",
+ callback = function(args)
+ if not muwiki.wiki_root(args.buf) then return end
+
+ local opts = { buffer = args.buf, silent = true }
+ vim.keymap.set('n', '<CR>', muwiki.open_link, opts)

==============================================================================
-5. KEYMAPS *muwiki-keymaps*
-
-muwiki.nvim provides actions that automatically check if the current buffer
-is within a configured wiki directory before executing.
-
-Keymap Setup:~
-Configure keymaps using an autocmd to ensure they only apply within wiki
-directories: >lua
- local muwiki = require('muwiki')
-
- local group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("muwiki", { clear = true })
-
- -- Setup wiki keymaps for markdown files
- vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
- group = group,
- pattern = "markdown",
- callback = function(args)
- if not muwiki.wiki_root(args.buf) then return end
-
- local opts = { buffer = args.buf, silent = true, nowait = true }
- vim.keymap.set('n', '<CR>', muwiki.open_link, opts)
- vim.keymap.set('n', '<Tab>', muwiki.next_link, opts)
- vim.keymap.set('n', '<S-Tab>', muwiki.prev_link, opts)
- vim.keymap.set('v', '<CR>', muwiki.create_link, opts)
- vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>oo', muwiki.open_link_with, opts)
- end,
- })
-
- -- Auto-create parent directories when saving files in wiki
- vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePre", {
- group = group,
- callback = function(args)
- local wiki_root = muwiki.wiki_root(args.buf)
- if not wiki_root then return end
-
- local file = args.file
- if not vim.startswith(file, wiki_root) then return end
-
- local dir = vim.fn.fnamemodify(file, ":h")
- if vim.fn.isdirectory(dir) == 0 then
- vim.fn.mkdir(dir, "p")
- end
- end,
- })
+7. AUTOCOMMANDS & RECIPES *muwiki-autocmd*
+
+Auto-create directories when saving~ *muwiki-autocmd-mkdir*
+>
+ vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePre", {
+ pattern = "*.md",
+ callback = function(args)
+ local wiki_root = muwiki.wiki_root(args.buf)
+ if not wiki_root then return end
+ local dir = vim.fn.fnamemodify(args.file, ":h")
+ if vim.fn.isdirectory(dir) == 0 then
+ vim.fn.mkdir(dir, "p")
+ end
+ end,
+ })
<
-Note: Actions check if the buffer is within a configured wiki directory and
-notify the user if not.
-
- *muwiki*
-Actions:~
-All user-facing actions are available directly through `require('muwiki')`:
-
- open_link() Open link under cursor
- next_link() Jump to next markdown link
- prev_link() Jump to previous markdown link
- open_link_with() Open link with custom external handler
- create_link() Create link from visual selection
-These functions check if the buffer is a wiki buffer before executing.
-
-Available API Functions:~
+Add template for new files~ *muwiki-autocmd-template*
+>
+ vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufNewFile", {
+ pattern = "*.md",
+ callback = function(args)
+ local wiki_root = muwiki.wiki_root(args.buf)
+ if not wiki_root then return end
+
+ local filename = vim.fn.fnamemodify(args.file, ":t:r")
+ local template = string.format("# %%s\n\n", filename)
+ vim.api.nvim_buf_set_lines(args.buf, 0, 0, false, vim.split(template, "\n"))
+ end,
+ })
+<
- open_index(name) Open wiki index file
+Open with menu example~ *muwiki-autocmd-open-with*
+>
+ vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>o', function()
+ muwiki.open_with_menu({
+ { name = "Zathura", cmd = "zathura", exts = {"pdf"} },
+ { name = "swayimg", cmd = "swayimg", exts = {"png", "jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "webp"} },
+ { name = "mpv", cmd = "mpv", exts = {"mp4", "mkv", "avi", "mov", "webm"} },
+ { name = "xdg-open", cmd = "xdg-open" },
+ })
+ end, { buffer = true, desc = "Open with..." })
+<
==============================================================================
-6. LINK FORMAT *muwiki-link-format*
+8. HEALTH CHECK *muwiki-health*
-muwiki.nvim uses standard markdown link syntax.
+Run |:checkhealth muwiki| to verify:
+- Wiki directories are configured and exist
+- Treesitter markdown parser is installed
->markdown
- [Wiki page](page.md)
- [Website](https://example.com)
- [Relative path](file://../document.pdf)
- [Absolute path](file:///tmp/image.png)
-<
==============================================================================
-7. EXTERNAL HANDLERS *muwiki-external-handlers*
-
-Define custom handlers for opening external URLs and files.
+RECOMMENDED PLUGINS
-Note: Custom handlers are only used by |muwiki.open_link_with()|.
-The default <CR> mapping uses |muwiki.open_link()| which uses xdg-open
-directly, ignoring custom handlers.
-
-Enable external handlers:~
->lua
- require("muwiki").setup({
- use_external_handlers = true,
- })
-<
-Handler Definition:~
-Each handler is a table with:
-
- name Display name in the handler menu (string)
- cmd Command string or Lua function (string|function)
- pattern Lua pattern(s) to match URLs (optional string or table of
- strings; if omitted, matches all URLs)
-
-Handler Examples:~
->lua
- external_handlers = {
- -- Open HTTP/HTTPS URLs in Firefox
- {
- name = 'Firefox',
- cmd = 'firefox',
- pattern = '^https?://',
- },
- -- Open videos with mpv using multiple patterns (table)
- {
- name = 'mpv',
- cmd = 'mpv',
- pattern = {
- '%.mp4$',
- '%.mkv$',
- '%.avi$',
- '%.webm$',
- 'youtube%.com',
- 'youtu%.be',
- },
- },
- -- Open images with swayimg using multiple patterns
- {
- name = 'swayimg',
- cmd = 'swayimg',
- pattern = {
- '%.png$',
- '%.jpe?g$',
- '%.gif$',
- '%.webp$',
- '%.bmp$',
- },
- },
- -- Copy URL to clipboard using Lua function
- {
- name = 'Copy URL',
- cmd = function(url)
- vim.system({ 'wl-copy', url }, { detach = true })
- vim.notify('URL copied to clipboard', vim.log.levels.INFO)
- end,
- pattern = '.*',
- },
- -- Fallback for any URL
- {
- name = 'xdg-open',
- cmd = 'xdg-open',
- pattern = '.*',
- },
- }
-<
-Interaction with text_extensions:~
-The |muwiki-configuration| option `text_extensions` overrides external
-handlers. Files with extensions listed in `text_extensions` will always
-open in Neovim, even when `use_external_handlers` is enabled. This is
-useful for forcing certain file types into the editor (e.g., adding
-'png' to edit images as text/hex).
-
-Example: Open PNG files in Neovim (as text/hex) instead of external viewer:~
->lua
- text_extensions = { 'md', 'txt', 'png' }
-<
-==============================================================================
-==============================================================================
-HEALTH CHECKING *muwiki-health*
+These plugins work well with muwiki.nvim:
-Run health check with:
->:checkhealth muwiki
-<
-The health check verifies:
-- Wiki directories are configured
-- Wiki directories exist and are accessible
-- Treesitter markdown parser is installed (required for link detection)
-- External handler commands are available (if configured)
+- render-markdown.nvim - Improve markdown rendering in Neovim
+- outline.nvim - Navigate document structure with symbols outline
