@arnoudspammer Use gll to increase indentation and glh to decrease indentation

This is from the vim help:

Use gll and glh in normal mode to increase or decrease the level of a list
item. The symbols are adjusted automatically to the list items around it.
Use gLl and gLh to increase or decrease the level of a list item plus all
list items of lower level below it, that is, all child items.

gll      Increase the level of a list item. Remap commnad: <Plug>VimwikiIncreaseLvlSingleItem
glh     Decrease the level of a list item. Remap command: <Plug>VimwikiDecreaseLvlSingleItem

For example. Map <leader>wx to toggle list item checked/unchecked on VimWiki filetype buffers
autocmd FileType vimwiki nnoremap <buffer> <Leader>wx :VimwikiToggleListItem<CR>

How do I make the top row of a table as header row which gets slightly different formatting when html is generated. Basically be able to add the separator line between the header row and the rest of the table rows

You can do it this way:

augroup vimwiki_mapping
  autocmd!
  autocmd FileType vimwiki nnoremap zM zM \| :set foldlevel=1<CR>
augroup END

In Insert-Mode you can also use <Ctrl>t to increase and <Ctrl>d to decrease the line
