TVO (The Vim Outliner) is my solution for text outlining in Vim. It works a lot like Word's outline support, but is much more vim-compatible. It has syntax highlighting, embedded text blocks, shortcut mappings using both  LocalLeader and arrow keys, and works reasonably well with Vim Easy. There is a toolbar that will be familiar to you if you've used Word's outliner. You can extract just text, or just headings if you wish; there's also some converters (to HTML, Perl POD, and to RTF) included. Please email me with bug reports, improvements, comments or more documentation (badly needed!). Earlier versions are available at http://bike-nomad.com/vim/vimoutliner.html

install details

Installing in a local or global .vim directory You will want to install TVO into a directory in your Vim runtimepath (:he 'runtimepath'). Type the command :set runtimepath To find out what it is set to. This will display a list of directories separated by commas. On my Linux system, these directories are: ~/.vim /usr/local/share/vim/vimfiles /usr/local/share/vim/vim60 /usr/local/share/vim/vimfiles/after ~/.vim/after I installed TVO into my ~/.vim directory. I could have also installed it so it would be available to all the users on my system by putting it into either the /usr/local/share/vim/vimfiles or /usr/local/share/vim/vim60 directories. Installing the binaries I've included some scripts in Perl and Ruby that I use for conversion of .otl files to HTML, RTF, and Perl POD. There is also a pod2otl converter. You can move these to a directory on your path (you may also have to change the shebang (#!) lines).
