I don't see how the matchadd itself could be the main problem.

It seems more likely that the error is triggered by you not having the
Calendar.vim plugin installed.  You can test for that by typing
command :Calendar and seeing if it brings up a calendar window.

If you don't have Calendar.vim installed then you need to get it from here:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=52

Let me know if that's the problem or not, and if not I'll go from there. . .

Hello   Herb,
Thanks for the prompt feedback. I do have calendar.vim installed and
working. In fact it works ok with both vimwiki and vimoutliner scripts...
Kind regards
Rodrigo

I just want to say I think you do an awesome job at responding to
queries on this list. You're a model for what I think a developer
should aim for when providing support for his work.

In double-checking it looks like matchadd() wasn't introduced until
Vim 7.2, so your using 7.0 is the problem.  Sorry, I wasn't aware of
this issue.

You could probably get things to run if you commented out all the
matchadd(), clearmatches(), and matchdelete() calls, but of course
certain items would not be highlighted correctly.

Is there any special reason you're still using 7.0?

I probably won't spend time revising things to get all the
highlighting work on versions prior to 7.2, but thanks for the report,
I'll now note in docs that 7.2 is earliest version that VimOrganizer
works with.

Regards,

Herb

Well, the reason I work with 7.0 is that it was installed in my
company computer. I~ve tried to compile vim73, but so far I am stuck
on vim not finding the correct libraries ...
Anyway, thanks for letting me know.

all the best and thanks for vimorg!
cheers,
Rodrigo

If you do try to compile 7.3, you would want to apply the fold
highlighting patch in the contrib directory of the VimOrganizer files.
 There's one for source version you get at vim.org and one for recent
source from the development repository.

I have rhel 5 and vim 7.3 requires  a whole bunch of libraries that
are not there and I am afraid of installing these updates for
libraries like glibc and open a can of worms...I will keep trying
though.

New to VimOrganizer. Created one simple nonsense outline. Haven't installed any of the recommended plugins or Emacs yet. For now just want to check out/get conversant with basic outlining commands.

I'm wondering about something I think I know the answer to. I notice that text under a top-level heading wraps to the left column of heading text but not that of subheadings. Is it possible to get it to do so? I find text that wraps to the left of its heading very disconcerting when working with anything other than a simple list outline without any wrapping text.

I've got a few decades experience with another cult outliner, maxthink--I know orgmode and vimorganizer are more than outliners--that indented subheading text with the heading, and is just one of many maxthink features/capabilities that I fear has spoiled me for any other outliner. [In years of looking I have yet to find one that comes close.]

I gave vimoutliner a try shortly after coming to vim less than a year ago, and it's inability to deal with this problem--which I fear is a vim problem rather than a vimoutliner problem--was just one of many characteristics that drove me away from it.  

Thanks,

I'm not sure I understand, since what you seem to want _is_ the way
VimOrganizer does it.  Text at any level of heading should wrap to
first character of its own heading text.

This is the way VimOrganizer currently works:
(exaggerated to show effect)
------------------------------------------------
*   Main heading
     main heading text
**       Sub heading
          subheading text
          more subheading text
------------------------------------------------

It sounds like you are instead seeing this:
------------------------------------------------
*   Main heading
     main heading text
**       Sub heading
subheading text
more subheading text
------------------------------------------------

Or am I misunderstanding, are you actually seeing first version above
but this is what you want?:
------------------------------------------------
*   Main heading
          main heading text
          more mainheading text
**       Sub heading
          subheading text
          more subheading text
------------------------------------------------

Any of these are doable with minor tweaks.   Please just clarify what
exactly you want that you're not getting.

Regards,

Herb

VimOrganizer has most all of the commands of the great old outiners.
Keymappings may be different, since Vim's main advantage is its
separate modes that let you use regular alpha keys for commands, but
fairly simple to remap commands to keys you're used to.  Also, if you
see some feature that's not in VimOrganizer it often is very easy to
add.  It's add point where I think it is a pretty good Grandview
replacement, although I haven't sat down and down a set keybindings to
make it feel even more like Grandview, although some of default
keybindings are the same. . .

While I'm at it, I'm getting error messages when I try to use regular Vim commands with VimOrganizer documents----i, o, <Esc> are the ones I've experienced so far. z commands work OK.

MaxThink really was for thinking. And that's why I haven't found a replacement. No one else seems to have given much thought to how an outliner could be used for that purpose. Absolutely no formatting capabilities whatever. You could insert code for bolding or to force a page break. That was about it.

I've got it set up to run in DosBox on my make, but there are some eccentricities there that have lead me to use it less than I used to. Sometimes, though, I drag it out for something only it can do. I sure wish the developer would release the code so someone could port it preferably to a cross-platform application.

I'm not necessarily looking for those, though I miss them greatly. I want to see how VimOrganizer/Org-mode works first. Maybe I'll find it useful in new ways.

Thanks,

It would probably help to carefully review the following entries in
the VimOrganizer help:

vimorg-document-structure
vimorg-new-headings

Vim/VimOrganizer is more freeform of an outliner than a dedicated tool
like MaxThink.  E.g., as you experienced it's possible to make a
malformed outline.  But once you understand how it works this isn't an
issue.

One thing that may throw you is the indenting for each heading block
is only one column in from previous level.  This, too, becomes natural
as you work with it, and heading coloring also serves as much to
distinguish different levels (especially with the patch to Vim).
There is a feature to indent each level two (or more) columns from
previous head (the equivalent of what Org-mode calls
'odd-levels-only'), but this is not exposed to users right now and
nobody has asked for it.

Are you running any other plugins that may be out of the ordinary?

You can always review error messages by viewing output of the :messages command.

Should work fine if you remove VimWiki.

I think VimOrganizer should also work fine (without disabling Vimwiki)
if you open an org file in a new Vim instance _before_ you open a
vimwiki file.  In that case you will, however, get errors when you
later open a vimwiki file in the same Vim instance.  Things should
also work fine if you open one Vim for your org files and a different
Vim for Vimwiki files.  (At least this is the current status for me,
please let me know if your install works differently.)

I'll put this on list of things to fix, so vimwiki and org files can
be edited at same time in same Vim instance.  It's my fault, I
borrowed some functions from Vimwiki in VimOrganizer and Vim seems to
be having a conflict even though I took steps that should have taken
care of the problem.  Not sure if it's a bug in Vim or not, but in any
case I know a workaround.

Not exactly clear about an "instance." Does a different tab in a GUI Vim [MacVim] count? Or do I need a completely separate window?

I've noticed others comment on it, but I also really appreciate you're quick and detailed responses here.
