Re: [Vim-latex-devel] LaTeX help for Vim

[Srinath A. <sr...@ee...>]

Hey Peter!

The Tex-Refs (or is Tex-refs for friends :) project sounds very
fascinating. From what I understand, the most useful thing for you now
will be a vim macro which converts XML source to vim help...

As of now, I do not have any experience with XML or the like, but it
looks like a useful thing to learn... I was in fact thinking of
expanding the documentation section of LaTeX-suite and in that sense
your email did come in time.

A few doubts:

1. Although a vim help format file might be the most natural way of
   viewing LaTeX documentation for users, HTML in my opinion does not
   fall far behind. Firstly, absolutely everyone has some sort of HTML
   browser.  With HTML, we could do more formatting etc.
2. Also, at around the bottom of the first URL, you say that you might
   need some help converting the vim help file into html. Mikolaj has
   already done this for the LaTeX help file in LaTeX-suite.
   See it at:
    http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/download/latexhelp.html
   It has html links and everything...
   I say this because www.karpfenteich.net says at the bottom:

In any case, we can begin to collaborate even before a xml-vimhelp tool
is available. For one, I'll put a link to the tex-refs page from the
links page on LaTeX-suite.

At the present moment, I am looking at some vim scripting things with
LaTeX-suite. I will get back to you when I get that done.

Thanks,
Srinath
