Re: [Vim-latex-devel] running latex

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

Hello,

Luc and Benji discussed this just a while ago:

Luc suggested quite a comprehensive algorithm for rerunning latex. If we
want to go along the route, I think the following is best (Luc's idea).

> 3- if is there exists a .bbl file, it is backuped
> 4- run e\=\(pdf\)\=\(la\)=tex
> 5- same as 2-

I did take a look at tex-tools.vim and it already seems to be
implemented :) So it shouldn't be too big of a deal to get it into
latex-suite. Also, ref the steps above, what happens if there is no .aux
file in step 2 above like carl says will happen the first time round...

I'll put this on my TODO list.

Okay. To be frank, I haven't had a chance to actually do latex in quite
some time...

Thanks,
