[Vim-latex-devel] Inverse and Forward Search : This is not what I expected

[ahmet n. <ahm...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am a new gvim(linux) and latex-suite user. I was
using MikTeX and YAP previewer for mytex files in
Windows. My editor of choice was WinEdt. Recently, I
switced to Debian/sarge. I was expecting the  same
functionality of inverse and forward search in TeTeX.
However what I observed in TeTeX is different in
MikTeX.

When I make a forward search in WinEdt, YAP was
displaying the position roughly corresponding to your
current position in YAP. It  points the corresponding
line and puts a circle on the line(one line below or
above of it at the worst). Inverse searching in  YAP
works almost the same: When you initiate  the inverse
search from the YAP previewer, the editor displays the
corresponding source line in a small margin of error.

In my Debian/Sarge system, I use TeTeX(ver:3.0.13) and
Xdvi(ver:22.84.9). When I initiate a forward search
from gvim, Xdvi draws a rectangle around the paragraph
in which the corresponding line in the source file
belongs to. So it is a big margin of error. Inverse
search works with the same big margin of error. It
doesn't matter where you click in a paragraph in Xdvi,
it always points the begining of a paragraph in the
corresponding source file.

I don't know what is the wrong with these inverse and
forward search. I don't think gvim is a culprit. I
tried with different editors(emacs,nedit) and
different dvi viewers(kdvi). Maybe TeTeX doesn't
handle well '--src-specials' with comparison to
MikTeX. 

I would like to thank all the developers of  the
latex-suite. I feel now that I am much more productive
than before.
