description
Vimliner is the smallest outliner for vim. It uses vim's existing code
folding capabilities with some simple configuration. The result is a fast,
powerful outliner using your favourite text editor.

Install Vimliner by saving this file to $HOME/.vim/ftdetect/vimliner.vim
on unix, or $HOME/vimfiles/ftdetect/vimliner.vim on Windows.

Save your outliner files with a .out extension for Vimliner to be
autodetected. Otherwise, use :set filetype=vimliner from within vim.

The outliner uses an indentation level of 2 white spaces to create
new levels. You can use vim's default code folding shortcuts to move
throughout your outline, or just use <TAB> to open and close levels.

The most frequent shortcut keys you will use are:

  <TAB> open or close the current fold
  zx  close all other folds  

Use :help fold-commands in vim for additional shorcuts.

The fold function consumes blank lines. If you need to separate one
fold from another, use a string of space characters that match the
current indent level.
