[Vim-latex-devel] ANN: A new feature: better \ref completion

[Srinath A. <sri...@gm...>]

Hi,

Wanted to announce a new feature inspired by ref-Tex.

After using the \ref completion in latex-suite to write my PhD, I
discovered that iti becomes really painful to use when there are a
HUGE number of equations distributed over multiple files. Its still
better than nothing, but an obvious improvement is to show the labels
grouped together according to which sections etc they occur in. This
will make it easier to zoom into the relevant section/subsection to
choose the correct label without having to skip over lots of
irrelevant labels.

After downloading the latest release
(http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=3Ddownload&title=3DDown=
load)
to enable this feature, you need to use the setting

let g:Tex_UseOutlineCompletion =3D 1

in your ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim file and if necessary, make the file
~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite/outline.py executable. You WILL need
python on your system. Its a very preliminary implementation which
should work well for eqnarray, equation, figure and align labels. I
need to consult with other folks who have more experience with latex
to make this more refined.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Srinath
