It MIGHT be further possible to colorize the text. But you probably cannot support all possible 24-bit colors and their various combinations with bold, underline, italic, etc. with a static syntax script.

I would like to get the information in native format (HTML or other in case of another language) in Vim for editing and the same time formated to be able to read it like normal text document in Vim. Something like interactive notebook.

Ok, but a colorsheme is just colors. It has no affect whatsoever on what text is displayed. You're basically asking "how do I set the background color of my desktop to allow me to play games?" The two are completely unrelated.

I still don't understand your use case. Are you looking for a way to edit formatted text within Vim? Maybe try the txtfmt plugin: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2208

If you want to later export your txtfmt file into HTML, Vim's :TOhtml command can do that for you.

If you want nice bullets, etc. as well then I'd suggest just using nice characters for it.

Unicode offers a huge range of them, some of which I use often enough I've even created my own digraphs for them (:help digraph):

digraph li 8226 " Bullet
digraph l1 8226 " level-1 bullet
digraph l2 8227 " level-2 bullet
digraph l3 8728 " level-3 bullet

These allow me to type CTRL+K li, l1, l2, or l3 to insert: •, •, ‣, or ∘into my text.

You can make this better by setting your 'formatlistpat' option to include these for automatic list formatting. Here's how I do that (plus a few other characters I like to use for bullets and the like sometimes):

scriptencoding utf-8
let &l:formatlistpat='^\s*\%(\d\+[\]:.)}\t ]\d\@!\|[•‣∘—–»*†×✓✗↳-]\)\s*'
