Outliner, todo-list, process description, project management, password encryption handler, idea organizer, logic tool, mind map... or for any number of different usages. Your imagination is (almost) the only limit. HyperList can be used to describe any state or transition - anything from simple shopping and todo lists to large project plans, process design, the human history, the human DNA or the whole universe. HyperList is a methodology to describe anything in plain text (see http://isene.org/hyperlist/). With HyperList, descriptions become simple, easily readable, concise and precise. This VIM plugin makes it easy to create and manage HyperLists using VIM. This is one of the most feature-rich VIM plugins ever created. Github repo: https://github.com/isene/hyperlist.vim The plugin includes a large range of features such as: * Automatically recognize files with the extension ".hl" * Syntax highlighting of every HyperList element * Syntax highlighting of bold, italics and underline (using *word*, /word/ and _word_) * Automatic underlining of State or Transition items in a list * Collapse and uncollapse parts of a HyperList * Syntax highlighting of folded parts of a list * Set a specific fold level to unfold items down to that level * Linking/referencing between elements (items) in a list * Easy navigation in lists, including jumping to references * Easy navigation to elements that needs filling out (when you use a list as a template) * Open referenced file under cursor using (g)VIM or external program (user definable) * Autonumbering of items and sub-items (children) and renumbering of visually selected items * Sorting a visually selected set of items (while letting the children stay with their parents * Create and toggle checkboxes, even with a time stamp for completion * Show/hide of words or regex patterns * "Presentation mode" that folds everything but the current item * Highlighting of the current item and its children * Encrypt and decrypt whole lists or parts of a list * Autoencrypt/decrypt files that has a file name starting with a dot * Export a HyperList to HTML, LaTeX or TPP formats * Transfer all items tagged with future dates/times to a Google calendar * Show the complexity level of a HyperList * Description on how to include HyperLists within other filetypes, taking full advantage of the above features when including a HyperList in e.g. a normal .txt document * Menus with submenus for gVIM users * ... and there are many more features. Check out the comprehensive documentation (type ":help HyperList" in VIM after install) For a complete tutorial, go through the file HyperListTutorialAndTestSuite.hl in the documentation folder (~/.vim/doc/HyperListTutorialAndTestSuite.hl). This file also serves as a complete test suite for releases of this plugin. This VIM plugin is the continuation of the now deprecated WOIM plugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2518) There is virtually no limit to what you can use HyperLists for. Contact me at g @ isene . com if you have any questions or suggestions, or if you just want to have a chat about HyperList (or any other things that are cool & interesting). See http://isene.org for more of my work.

The sorted items will keep their children. This is useful if parts of a HyperList is numbered and you get the numbering out of sequence and wants to resort them. One caveat, the last line in the selection cannot be the very last line in the document (there must be an item or an empty line below it).
hyperlist.vmb	2.3.7	2017-08-11	7.0	Geir Isene	Autonumbering now works also with numbers ending in a period (both 4.2.1 and 4.2.1. now works for <cr>, <c-t> and <c-d>).

An item is indented to the right with <c-t>, adding one level of numbering. An item is indented to the left with <c-d>, removing one level of numbering and increasing the number by one. Thanks to Jerry Antosh for the suggestion and for testing.
