Lose highlighting when Index.wiki is loaded from Dropbox
I have put my Vim files, including my Vimwiki files, in a Dropbox folder. I would like to be able to access them from both MacOS (MacVim) and iOS (iVim).
However, when I open the Vimwiki index file (“index.wiki”) in either app the highlighting of links that enables navigation among Vimwiki files is lost.
What happened? How do I restore it?
Thanks

Apologies for the tardy response, suliveel. I have largely avoided ivim/vim for lack of a solution to this problem. I’ll have to figure out again how to install plugins under ivim/ios.
I’m coming back to vim after several years of nonuse. Before that there were several years of happy use with a comfortable configuration developed over the first couple years. I want to get back to it and am grateful for the ivim implementation.
I am not a coder. Merely a minimally technically adept writer. It’s going to take me a while to refamiliarize myself with commands.
You should use Vim8's builtin plugin management or iVim's iplug.
Vim8's builtin plugin management is recommended for cross platform use, you will have universal experience.
iVim specifically, iplug is a better choice, and you need pay for unlock.

Are they related? Does plug build on vim's built-in plugin?

I.e., between iVim and Vim (MacVim)? I am hoping to get to a place where I can access my files--almost always simple text files--from iVim and MacVim. I would not necessarily--I don't think--want to use the same plugin set with iVim and MacVim. Any reason I couldn't use plugin with iVim and the built-in plugin manager with MacVim?

Looked for a way to do that. The documentation doesn't say anything about it.

That's a shit-load of plugins! (Excuse my French.) You use all those?
Some tangential questions: (1) How is it that iVim is now able to access git repositories? Simply because Vim 8 has plugin management built-in? (2) Are iplug and the built-in plugin manager limited to git repositories? (3) Is there a list of plugins available from git repositories?
Forgive all the questions. I don't necessarily expect answers to all of them--or any of them. They're primarily a record of where my mind is seriously starting to come back to Vim/iVim.
I found how to unlock iplug. (Might put a note about this in the reference manual.)
Also found Vim Awesome, the answer to the third of my tangential questions. (Vim plugins available from git.)
@EricEWeir iVim now has access to git repositories because the related functionality was added in iplug. And right now, it only supports plugins that are available as git repositories. As to the iVim's IAP items, please refer to :h ios-iap.

Thank you, Terry. I discovered how to do the in-app purchase on my own by accident. Don’t remember how I did it.
I imagine creating iPlug involved getting around iOS’s sandboxing restrictions somehow. Or maybe not. Curious about how it was possible, but then I might not understand if you tried to explain it to me. Just grateful that you did it— and for amazing iVim.
