Re: [Vim-latex-devel] function to switch settings

[Francesco M. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi Andreas,

This might work:

Put your default settings (e.g. English) in your .vimrc (or ftplugin/tex)
file.
In the directory where you want you use the other language (e.g. German)
create a
main.tex.latexmain file [1] (I'm assuming that the main latex file is
main.tex).
Then put in main.tex.latexmain:
set spell spelllang=de_20
let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'
let g:Tex_BibtexFlavor = 'biber'

This file is loaded after all the .vimrc and .vim/* files.

I've used successfully this trick to compile with pdflatex specific
projects, while keeping standard latex as default.

Cheers,

Fra

ps: you might think about changing the spelllang only in the current
buffer, in particular if you open different filetypes in the same session
