Re: [Vim-latex-devel] newbie question

[Alexandre R. <fre...@gm...>]

Thanks, Vaidotas. Your tip about the filetype helped me to
find out a solution. The problem was the default type for
.tex file was plain tex and no latex. I managed to change this
with the following line in my .vimrc
let g:tex_flavor =3D "latex"

I also solved the second problem (using your first method),
however I still have a problem with "=E9". When I type
'e (in the insert mode) the cursor just move back one
character if it is at the end of the line. Do you know how
to get =E9?

Thanks,
Alexandre
