Re: Lose highlighting when Index.wiki is loaded from Dropbox

Hi Eric,

I too use vimwiki located in a grive folder, with no issues.  In the hope it's some help, below, are the only settings I seem to have in my .vimrc relating to vimwiki.

Kind regards,

Ryan

Enter code here...
let g:vimwiki_list = [{
  \ 'path': '$HOME/google-drive/vimwiki',
  \ 'template_path': '$HOME/google-drive/vimwiki/templates',
  \ 'template_default': 'default',
  \ 'template_ext': '.html'}]

Still looking for help on this, Ryan. It occurred to me that the path setting in the two .vimrcs, for MacVim and for iVim, might be the problem. On checking I see that my vimwiki settings are identical in both .vimrcs. 

I don't remember why I specified the setting the way I did--it was done quite a while ago and I'm just coming back to Vim after several years absence--or where the suggestion of that specification came from--I am a relative Vim novice, heavily dependent on suggestions from more competent users. Here is the part of my .vimrc for vimwiki:

" ---------------------------------------------- vimwiki

"restrict vimwiki operation to only those paths listed in g:vimwiki_list.

let g:vimwiki_global_ext = 0

"set vimwiki syntax to markdown 

let g:vimwiki_list = [{'path': '~/vimwiki/', 'syntax': 'markdown'}]

"add wiki as an extent recognized as a markdown file

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.wiki :set ft=markdown

"enable vimwiki folding

let g:vimwiki_folding=1

"convert vimwiki headers to markdown headers

" symmetric: '== title ==' --> asymmetric '## title' for any level of header

nnoremap <Leader>be :%s@^\(\s*\)\(=\+\)\s\+\(.*\)\s\+\2\%(\s*\)$@\=submatch(1).

" ---------------------------------------------- 

 

Though the path setting is the same in both .vimrcs, it may be that it is the setting that's causing the problem. I wonder if (1) anyone could explain what the specification I have does (2) judge whether it is what's causing highlighting not to work, (3) suggest parameters of an alternative specification giving that my vimwiki file are in a Dropbox folder. 

Thanks,

Eric Weir
