[Vim-latex-devel] Issue with Taglist and suggested patch

[Dan M. O. H. <dm...@st...>]

Hi,

I had issues with some section headings showing up twice in Taglist. I
use exuberant ctags 5.8, which have some limited native tex support
(see output from --list-kinds=tex below). Therefore, the tex language
is already defined, and when Vim-Latex tries to define it again on
line 899 in main.vim, it results in "ctags: Warning: Language "tex"
already defined". 

Regexps for e.g sections are thus defined twice (both natively by
ctags and by Vim-Latex). As far as I can see, the regexps of Vim-Latex
appear to be more robust than the native implementation, so I simply 
modified main.vim to use an unused character ("d") instead of "s" for the 
all the section-related regexps and modified tlist_tex_settings to just
ignore the native implementation. My patch against trunk can be found here:

I kept "--langdef=tex" in the patch for users of ctags versions without native
 tex-support. While this will trigger an error (in the background), it seems
like it doesn't do any harm. My patch is just a quick fix, but it seems to work
fine. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
