I think a lot of people use Leo for non-coding / writing type
purposes. I've been writing papers via Leo -> markdown -> pandoc,
which uses LaTeX for PDF output.
Not familiar with vimwiki so not sure how much automation that's
bringing to the LaTeX writing process. Leo's abbreviations can be
helpful, e.g. expanding something like fig;; to
\begin{figure}<rest of useful template>\end{figure}
Not aware of any particular pre-view apparatus, but it's very easy to
write button scripts that generate a doc. being viewed in PDF preview
or whatever.
Cheers -Terry
