[Vim-latex-devel] Labels with spaces fools <F9>

[<pat...@fr...>]

Dear vim-latex-devel,

As reported in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.editors.vim.latex.devel/88
if your LaTeX file contains something like
\label{section:Important stuff}
(note the space between Important and stuff) then \ref{<F9>}
will bring a correct outline buffer but when you press Enter on the line
section:Important stuff
you will get in your original file:
\ref{section:Important}
instead of the expected
\ref{section:Important stuff}

I wouldn't have expected LaTeX to like labels containing spaces until
one of my collaborators used some and LaTeX liked them!

The problem in vim-latex is in file
$VIM/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite
which contains the function Tex_FinishOutlineCompletion. The faulty
regex is in the line
let ref_complete = matchstr(getline('.'), '^>\s\+\zs\S\+\ze')

I've replaced it with
let ref_complete = matchstr(getline('.'), '^>\s\+\zs[^<\t]\+\ze')
which works for me but I don't say this is a well thought out solution.

Best,

Patrick Massot
