I currently use vim version 7.3 in ArchLinux.

When I generate an HTML file containing checkboxes with :Vimwiki2HTML
the resulting HTML pages does not contain check boxes.

I temporarily used a clean .vimrc file with no difference in results.

I also removed the .vim folder and created a clean one after which I
installed the vimwiki plugin again.

Neither fixed the problem.

The generated html file does show indented lists but but none of the
check boxes which show up in the vim file are present.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Found that once I used :VimwikiAll2HTML first, it created the
stylesheet which was missing before.

It might be helpful to add a note about this under Vimwiki2HTML
(mentions that VimwikiAll2HTML needs to be run to create the CSS
stylesheet.

If either of these were options with vimwiki I could go straight from a vimwiki file to a latex file without preparatory editing of the vimwiki file.

Possible? Difficult?

I don't know what multimarkdown is... but there is markdown in vimwiki's dev version which could be converted to HTML using external tools.

Stuart Andrews, one of the core developers, using it a lot as far as I know.

Mulitmarkdown is an extension of markdown, one that makes it more appropriate for latex-formatted creative, scientific, and academic writing, e.g., by introducing footnoting and citation capabilities. http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/ Pandoc includes a markdown extension that's similar to multimarkdown.

As you note, markdown is oriented more toward html. It might be sufficient for much of my need---ability to format simple documents---letters, memos, simple reports--with latex. [I use Scrivener for more involved writing projects, and it uses multimarkdown to export to latex.] 

When will the dev version become standard vimwiki? If markdown has been added, how difficult would it be to add multimarkdown?

Thanks,

Eric

Just wanted to toss in a +1 for MMD within vimwiki. I think that
interoperability with the various more traditionally "pretty"
applications is kind of important for the future of vimwiki (read: I
am still looking for a reasonable way of interacting with vimwiki on
my mobile, which maybe deserves its own thread) and MMD seems like a
pretty good path for that, in that it seems to strike a good balance
between platform agnosticism and attractiveness to non vimheads.
