====== Using Vim to edit gEDA wiki pages ======
To easy edit gEDA wiki pages in Vim you may use **DokuVimKi**.

You can install DokuVimKi as follows:
  - Download the latest version of DokuVimKi and copy all its files into appropriate directories in //''~/.vim''//: <code>
  git clone git://github.com/chimeric/dokuvimki.git
  cd dokuvimki
  for i in doc plugin syntax; do cp "$i"/* ~/.vim/"$i"/; done </code>
  - To use **'':h dokuvimki''** to open DokuVimKi help you can generate Vim help tags for it using **'':helptags ~/.vim/doc/''** in Vim.
  - You can optionally use another dokuwiki syntax file. I use one from [[http://github.com/nblock/vim-dokuwiki.git]].
  - To install DokuVimKi you need to have **xmlrpclib** installed on your system. It has probably been already installed as part of python installation. You can check this using: <code>
  locate xmlrpclib </code> See https://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:xmlrpc for more information on this.
  - You also need to install **dokuwikixmlrpc**. Download and install the latest version:<code>
  git clone git://github.com/chimeric/dokuwikixmlrpc
  cd dokuwikixmlrpc
  sudo python setup.py install
</code> See the [[http://docs.python.org/install/index.html|Python documentation]] for more information about installing python modules.
  - Then to set up DokuVimKi for gEDA you need to add some strings into your //''~/.vimrc''// file: <code vim>
let g:DokuVimKi_USER = "your_wiki_login_name"
let g:DokuVimKi_PASS = "YOUR_WIKI_PASSWORD"
let g:DokuVimKi_URL = "http://wiki.geda-project.org/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php"
" Optional settings. See ':DWhelp' for details.
""let g:DokuVimKi_INDEX_WINWIDTH = 30
""let g:DokuVimKi_DEFAULT_SUM = "[xmlrpc dokuvimki edit]"
</code>
  - To invoke Vim with DokuVimKi features available you have to use: <code> vim +DokuVimKi </code> To quickly invoke this command you could add the following aliases into your //''~/.bashrc''// file: <code bash>
# Vim aliases for gEDA
alias vimgeda="vim +DokuVimKi"
alias gvimgeda="gvim +DokuVimKi"
</code>

That's all. Type **''gvimgeda''**, wait a bit and enjoy the online
Dokuwiki editing in Vim!
