Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Questions about adding options of ps2pdf while Windows

[Hao F. <all...@gm...>]

Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for your help.
I tried to use double quotes while escaping the '#' with '\', then it again
shows
"E194: No alternate file name to substitute for '#'".

Anyway, I think I can still achieve my goal by avoid using options in
ps2pdf.

Best Regards,
Hao Fang
