[Vim-latex-devel] some questions about main.vim

[Benji F. <be...@me...>]

      Near the end of latex-suite/main.vim we have the following lines:

" viewing/searching
if !hasmapto('RunLaTeX')
	if has("gui")
	nnoremap <buffer> <Leader>ll :silent! call RunLaTeX()<cr>
	nnoremap <buffer> <Leader>lv :silent! call ViewLaTeX()<cr>
	nnoremap <buffer> <Leader>ls :silent! call ForwardSearchLaTeX()<cr>
	else
		nnoremap <buffer> <Leader>ll :call RunLaTeX()<cr>
		nnoremap <buffer> <Leader>lv :call ViewLaTeX()<cr>
	nnoremap <buffer> <Leader>ls :call ForwardSearchLaTeX()<cr>
	end
end
" This line seems to be necessary to source our compiler/tex.vim file.
" The docs are unclear why this needs to be done even though this file
" is the first compiler plugin in 'runtimepath'.
	runtime compiler/tex.vim

(I changed the indent for e-mail readability.)

1. Why do we use :silent! only under :if has("gui")?
2. Does the comment about compiler/tex.vim mean that ":compiler tex" was 
tried and did not work?
