Anton,
If you want to use the Vim help file syntax, but don't want to keep your
generic notes in a Vim doc directory, here's a possible strategy that
uses ctags...
--- command to build tags file ---
# The following command builds tags for all 'mynotes'
# files (*.not) in the current directory recursively.
# The tags are specified just like the tags in a Vim
# help file.
# Note: You can use --language-force=mynotes instead
# of --langmap=mynotes:.not if you don't want to
# require a specific extension for the notes files.
ctags -R --langdef=mynotes \
--langmap=mynotes:.not \
--regex-mynotes=/\*([!-)+-{}-~]+)\*/\1/
--- sample *.not file containing tagged notes ---
========TOC========
|some-tag|
|some-other-tag|
|and-one-final-tag|
===================
*some-tag*
Here's some text.
*some-other-tag*
Here's some more text.
*and-one-final-tag*
And the final block of text.
vim:isk=!-~,^*,^\|,^\"
---
Note that the 'iskeyword' option setting in the modeline above matches
the regex in the ctags command line, and both are close to the value
used in Vim help files. You can tweak it however you like...
Hope it helps...
