[Vim-latex-devel] New compiler features!

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

Hello,

Two new features have been added to latex-suite:

1. Generating certain output formats correctly by automatically
   compiling multiple times. This is a feature which has been mostly
   picked up from tex-tools.vim by Luc Hermitte and massaged
   stylistically and otherwise to fit nicely in with the rest of
   latex-suite. Also, if python is available, then it will use python
   instead of vimscript for certain functions which enable it to be
   faster and also avoid opening unused buffers.

2. Automatically handling format dependencies: For example, if you
   generate pdf documents by first compiling to dvi, then to ps, then to
   pdf, then latex-suite handles it automatically, if you specify
   a setting
   g:Tex_FormatDependency_pdf = 'dvi,ps,pdf'

The latest beta containing the 2 features is available at:

vim-latex.sourceforge.net/download/latexSuite-multicompile.tar.gz

This is a release from the latex-multi-compile branch in the latex-suite
CVS tree. Those interested can directly get it from there. Any feedback
is appreciated. I am aiming at merging these changes into the main trunk
wihin the next week.

Thanks,
Srinath
