Converting from Vimwiki

For people that think Vim is not confusing enough: Let me introduce you to VimWiki. A personal wiki inside of Vim. Maxim Kim, the developer of VimWiki, was stuck in Vim for years. After trying to exit Vim for a while, he tried to accept his fate and used the time behind bars to invent something new. VimWiki was born. It consists of a number of linked text files that have their own syntax highlighting. Use it to organize notes, manage to-dos, write documentation or maintain a diary (nobody will expect your diary inside of Vim). I wonder if someone already invented

The files end with .wiki by default.

Converting to Textile

Textile is a lightweight markup language to convert text to HTML. 2002, Dean Allen developed the format to use it in his own content management system called Textpattern. It was originally written in PHP, like Textpattern was, but has been translated to Perl, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, and C#. There is no standard nor a working specification. Though, there are a handful of tools that use or used Textile. JIRA, Jekyll, Qt, Redmine, Salesforce too only name a few. Not sure why someone would want to work with it, but I bet there are reasons. Dean Allen called it “a humane web text generator”, sounds nice, doesn’t it?
