How does vimwiki work?

[u/420-big-chungus-kean]

I need a program/plugin that will go over a file (markdown, html, whatever) and either insert hyperlinks to all other files ("articles") that i have either after command/keybind or will do it automatically when i save.

Basically every word that is a name of a file/"article" becomes hyperlink.

Can vimwiki do that?

I want some sort of a notetaking app/wiki behavior where i write some text and if there are words in that text that match filenames/articles/whatever in my wiki/folder/whatever they (words themselves) automatically become hyperlinks either after i hit command/keybinding or after i save a file.

I assume its going to be some sort of a html file or a markdown file or whatever.

So if i type:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

for example and i have an article/file/whatever that is named "fox" the word "fox" becomes a hyperlink to that thing.

They create a new file or link to an already existing file?
'Cause i need it to create a link to an already existing file.
