Sometimes I found myself automatically typing a text in Mediawiki's syntax in a textfile, but in the end I'd like to view it in a bit more pretty look. So, the simplest thing for me is to replace some Mediawiki-markup-tags with HTML directly in vim, using regular expressions.
I'm starting a collection of the ones I'm using, so this article might grow over time (or stay as it is, who know?).

Haven't worried to find "one regexp to convert them all", but rather run 3-4 in a sequence:
Code: Select all
/=== \(.*\) ===$/<h3>\1<\/h3>/g
/== \(.*\) ==$/<h2>\1<\/h2>/g
/= \(.*\) =$/<h1>\1<\/h1>/g
It's important to run it in that order, otherwise you might get false positives for higher-level headlines.
Jumping out of an airplane is not a basic instinct. Neither is breathing underwater. But put the two together and you're traveling through space!
