[Vim-latex-devel] taglist.vim integration

[<mi...@wp...>]

Hello,

I'd like to add better support for ctags and taglist.vim
(as the best interface for this feature).

Currently creating of tags file is made with ltags perl script.
But this of course requires perl in situation when this is not
necessary. Ctags can create tags file depending on options given as
configuration file or command line options.

Inspired by Florent Manens Tip #453 I inserted this section to main.vim
and everything works without changing or adding anything to
non-latexSuite files!

if !exists("g:tlist_tex_settings") 
	let g:tlist_tex_settings = 'tex;s:section;c:chapter;l:label;r:ref'
endif

if exists("Tlist_Ctags_Cmd")
	let s:tex_ctags = Tlist_Ctags_Cmd
else
	let s:tex_ctags = 'ctags' " Configurable in texrc?
endif

let Tlist_Ctags_Cmd = s:tex_ctags ." --langdef=tex --
langmap=tex:.tex.ltx.latex"

\.' --regex-tex="/\\\\part[ \t]*\*?\{[ \t]*([^}]*)\}/\1/p,part/"'

\.' --regex-tex="/\\\\ref[ \t]*\*?\{[ \t]*([^}]*)\}/\1/r,ref/"'

It could be of course placed in texrc to be better accessible by
end-user.
But before final commitment here are few things to discuss:
1. 
This is calling external command - eternal problems with quoting.
Srinath - could you test it on Windows?
2.
Pluses and spaces are for creating "structure". We could go further and
make something more like in slrn or mutt with "real" trees for
sectioning structure. This chars are in extended ASCII - may cause
problems.
3.
Of course: what tags should be included?
ltags has:
cite, citeonline - are these really useful?
label
bibliography
bibitem, @....{

I'd like to make:
As far as possible full sectioning structure
abstract,part,chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection,paragraph,subparagra
ph
appendix,bibliography,thebibliography,bibitem
frontmatter,mainmatter,backmatter?
label,

I don't think things like cite, ref and so on are useful. Other
opinions?

Maybe \captions? This is not core LaTeX element as \label but more
readable for user when he wants to jump to specific element?

Tested with latest taglist.vim (2.8) and ctags 5.5.2 (should work >=5.0)

Unfortunately I am cutted off from CVS. Srinath, if you like it commit
it in this form or after changes.

ps. Maybe we should create "insitution" like official LaTeX-Suite
plugins? Provide better interfaces for them and so on?
Current candidates:
Spellchecing: engspchk, vimspell
Tags: taglist

Any other ideas?
