Cool! Right after I finish writing my current book, I plan on creating
a Markdown to XHTML software stack **that enables arbitrary styles**.
My plan is to use QOwnNotes for user input, but it sounds like VimWiki
could also serve as user input.
The goal of my software stack is to eventually enable one to write
books in slightly enhanced Markdown, and export that to HTML, ePub or
PDF. Once source, three (or more) reader formats.
Nice! When I was on a bit of a SF short story period, I experimented
with the "Snowflake" method using Vim and VOom:
The "Snowflake" approach to writing a novel
(http://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/articles/snowflake-method)
In Vim use (F8 with line under cursor):
:se textwidth=999
:se wrap
:se linebreak
:se foldmethod=marker
:se spell spelllang=en_au
:Voom
:se foldmethod=manual
:.,$VoomSort
- to sort nodes
CTRL/[up|down]
- to move nodes
==
Step 1) A one-sentence summary of the story {{{1
Something like this: "A rogue physicist travels back in time to kill the
apostle Paul." (This is the summary for my first novel, Transgression.)
The sentence will serve you forever as a ten-second selling tool. This
is the big picture, the analog of that big starting triangle in the
snowflake picture.

Override colors based on the surrounding syntax region
Hi there,
In Common Lisp, you can put a #+NIL in front of an expression, to
prevent the compiler from processing it; for example, the following
defines a list of 3 elements:
(list 1 2 3)
The following defines a list of 2 elements (the `3` is swallowed):
(list 1 2 #+nil 3)
While this one...does nothing:
#+nil (list 1 2 3)
So I wanted to highlight all the `#+nil (...)` patterns as if they were
comments, and to do so I started with something as simle as:
syntax match lispExcludedForm /\v\#\+nil \([^)]+\)/
highlight link lispExcludedForm lispComment
I knew that this was not going to work in case of nested parentheses,
and after taking a look at the default syntax file for Lisp, I came up
with the following:
syntax region lispExcludedFormWithNil
\ matchgroup=lispExcludedContentStart
\ start="#+nil ("
\ skip="|.\{-}|"
\ matchgroup=lispExcludedContentStop
\ end=")"
\ contains=@lispBaseListCluster
highlight link lispExcludedContentStart lispComment
highlight link lispExcludedContentStop lispComment
With this I was able to deal with nested parentheses just fine; however,
if I had highlight commands defined for any of the elements contained
inside the `@lispBaseListCluster` cluster, Vim would still end up
coloring those elements while I want the whole region to look like a
`lispComment` instead -- and this is where I got stuck.
So, for the brave ones that made it this far:
- Can I define highlight commands that not only take specific elements
into account (i.e. `lispList`), but also their parents (i.e.
`lispExcludedFormWithNil > lispList`) -- this way I could link
`lispList` to `lispComment` only when contained inside
`lispExcludedFormWithNil`
- If not, should I have to create my own `@lispBaseListExcludedCluster`
cluster, and make sure no highlight command is defined for any of its
elements?
- In which case, can I programmatically iterate through all the elements
of a syntax cluster, and maybe create copies of it?
And last but not least: is what I am trying to achieve, even possible?
Am I on the right track?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Vim turns 30 today!
I was *very* late to the party (13 years ago) but Vim has become totally indispensable. It is the ideal UI for me with my cerebral palsy, both on the laptop and on the tablet/phone (with Termux) My timeoutlen and all my remappings to favor my left hand and avoid simultaneous key presses would surely drive most people crazy, but for me they are by now ideal. The combination Vim + Pandoc is what allows me to keep on working as a writing professional. A big thank you to Bram (and predecessors, and contributors) for making this possible! /bpj -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
