[Vim-latex-devel] [Question] Bibtex compiling

[Hao W. <wen...@gm...>]

Hi there:

I am trying to compile *.bib file in latex-suite. The normal procedure
in latex is:
latex filename -> bibtex filename -> latex filename -> latex filename

I know I can use \ll for the "latex filename" operation, but what is it
for the "bibtex filename" ?

Thanks!

Perhaps your version of vim doesn't have the fnameescape() function.
What version of vim are you using and what does

    :echo exists("*fnameescape")

show?

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings in $VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim produces error message

[Simon Q. <sim...@gm...>]

Thanks William,

this does the trick indeed.
My guess was that the custom options would be read in at last, for that 
they are not overwritten by other (standard) option.
But now it works, so it'll be fine.

I explicitly set both of those variables in my ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim,
and it works fine:

    let g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings =
                            \'Underfull'."\n".
                            \'Overfull'."\n".
                            \'specifier changed to'."\n".
                            \'You have requested'."\n".
                            \'Missing number, treated as zero.'."\n".
                            \'There were undefined references'."\n".
                            \'Citation %.%# undefined'."\n".
                            \'LaTeX Font Warning'
    let g:Tex_IgnoreLevel = 8

Maybe tex.vim gets read before latex-suite, so those variables are not
yet defined when your .= and += operators get called.

Hope this helps,
William

Hello mailing list!
I put the lines

let g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings.="\nhas changed"
let g:Tex_IgnoreLevel+=1

in the
$VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim
file to suppress some errors connected with certain files I am compiling.

When opening a *.tex file these lines result in error messages in vim:

Do you know any way to avoid typing the commands each time when opening a

Sorry I made a little mistake here, the windows are actually like

tex file contents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quickfix(cursor at the first line)

But the issue "fail to jump to error if I press enter" remains. Sorry

[Vim-latex-devel] failed to jump to the error location when compiling

[peng s. <sha...@gm...>]

Hi guys. I am using VIM 7.2.264 and vim-latex-1.5-20091002. The
following are my .vimrc

let g:tex_flavor = "latex"
let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi="latex -src-specials -interaction=nonstopmode $*"
let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat='pdf'
let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats='pdf'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex  -interaction=nonstopmode $*'
let g:Tex_GotoError = 1


But I found when I press \ll to do a compile I could not jump to the
error location. Instead my cursor is set to the location of error
list, or in other words I have my vim window like


tex file contents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
error list (cursor here)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quickfix list( this part is empty unless I press j or k to move my
cursor in the error list)

I read from the documentation that I should press 'enter' at any line
to jump to the corresponding error, but I tried and I failed. No
matter where I press the enter I could not jump out of the error list
to text file contents. :( Anyone could help me on this issue? Thank
you :)

[Vim-latex-devel] Tex_ChangeEnvironments

[Gerd W. <ger...@ma...>]

Hello everybody,

I'm using the LaTeX-Suite since one year and it's very usefull! I 
personalized it a little bit, and now I think I've found a bug ;)


Line 716 in envmacros.vim should read

let env_line = searchpair('\$\$\|\\\[\|begin{', '', '\$\$\|\\\]\|end{', "bn")

instead of

let env_line = searchpair('$$\|\\[\|begin{', '', '$$\|\\]\|end{', "bn")

So I think, the backslashs and the dollars should be escaped as well.


Regards
Gerd

[Vim-latex-devel] German quotation marks in included files

[Erik H. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi,

For a project I use a main.tex file (with the main.tex.texmain file) and 
some \inputted files. With \usepackage{german} in main.tex, the '"' key 
produces the commands for the German quotation marks ("` and "'). In the 
included files, however, the regular `` and '' are produced. Is there 
any way to fix this?

Thanks.

anything anywhere that would cause this behavior. Can someone tell me  
how to stop it, or at least where to look to figure out why it is

I believe all that is necessary is for the main.tex.latexmain (Note:  
*not* ".mainlatex") file to exist in the same directory as its  
main.tex counterpart. The *.latexmain file can be an empty file; its  
contents are not ever read. It only serves as a flag to latex-suite,  
letting it know where and what the "master file" is for the project.

The idea is, when you open a TeX file, latex-suite wants to know if it  
is a "stand-alone" file or part of a larger document. It looks in the  
current directory and in all parent directories until it finds a  
*.latexmain file. Say you've created a file named  
"sample.tex.latexmain" in the parent directory, it then concludes that  
"sample.tex" is the master file for that document and, when you press  
\ll in an included file, pdflatex (or whatever TeX command you've  
setup) will be run on "sample.tex" instead.

Of course, if no .latexmain file is found, it considers the document  
to be self-contained, and it will run pdflatex on the document you are  
editing.

On the other hand, I don't know if using this protocol will cause  
latex-suite to run pdflatex enough times, but it should save you from  
having to keep the main file open, allowing you to simply type \ll on  
the \included file you're working in.

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] question on multiple file latex project

[YueJun Y. <yj...@gm...>]

I attached three tex files that I am trying to full around. When I 'll' 
on the main file, foo.tex. I got warnings as follows:

|| (./foo.aux (./c1.tex.aux)
|15 warning| LaTeX Warning: Reference `fig:StLouisSA' on page 1 
undefined on input line 15.
|| (./c1.tex.aux) (./sc2.aux))
|

the figure is defined in c1.tex.
Obviously this is because the files were not appropriately compiled. But 
I have no idea how to deal with this issue. Thanks a lot.

[Vim-latex-devel] Conflict with the "compose" key

[Boris F. <bo...@fe...>]

Hi,

I'm using the "contextual menu" key to compose characters like à é
è... with my qwerty US keyboard. All the characters seem to work,
excepted the "é".
When I type "compose" + ' + e, the vim cursor goes 1 char back. When
the buffer is empty I get the following message :

Erreur détectée en traitant function Tex_InsertItem..Tex_GetCurrentEnv :
ligne    7 :
E749: tampon vide


(Error detected while processing the function....
Line 7
E749: Buffer empty )

I read the documentation but I found nothing about a mapping which
includes ' + e . Do you know how I can solve this conflict between
compose and vim-latex ?

Thanks in advance,

Boris

[Vim-latex-devel] Two questions: Tex_Leader and c-n completion

[Peter B. J. <pet...@gm...>]

Hey.
I got two questions about vim latex-suite that I can't find in the docs.

Is there supposed to be c-n completion for commands like \leftarrow in 
mathmode?. If there is, it does not work for me.in Vim 7.2 on archlinux.

The second question is.. Where can I set the character used as 
Tex_Leader for the AUCTex bindings.. The ` sign is hard to reach on a 
danish keyboard. I've tried "let Tex_Leader = '½' " but it doesn't work.

Thank you for a nice plugin ;-)

This is no fix, but whenever vim-latex (or anything else) takes you to
the wrong place, you can go back where you were quickly with <ctrl-o>.
This way you can leave GoToError on for the cases when it is useful.

[Vim-latex-devel] minor issues

[Eric P. <eri...@gm...>]

Great package! Thanks.  I have two queries.


1. I'm trying to complete various math commands and it seems like 
vim-latex is recognizing some and not all of them.  For example if i type

$\big

and then hit ctrl+n i see no completion options, even though there should 
be several (bigcup, bigoplus, etc.).  These are even available in the 
tex-math menu (under BigOp).  How can I get these and the rest of the ams 
symbols to come up under autocompletion?

2. Whenever I use the xypic package and have any error (like a missing $ 
or }) the latex compiler gives something like:

/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/xypic/xy.sty|142 error| Missing $ 
inserted.

I have no idea why its referencing xy.sty, but the line number is the 
correct one for the tex file that i am editing.  Unfortuntely vim-latex 
jumps to xy.sty and to that line number for debugging.

I've temporarily used g:Tex_GoToError = 0 to avoid this.  Is there some 
way to change the compiler command, output, or how vim-latex interprets it 
to fix this?

Thanks,
Eric

[Vim-latex-devel] how to return to vim if I call inverse search in xdvi.

[peng s. <sha...@gm...>]

Hi everybody. I am using vim+latex-suite to do tex editing. Especially I use
the following way to do inverse search:

in .bashrc

vimtex='vim --servername vimtex'

and in .vimrc

:map \ld :execute 'xdvi -editor "vim --servername 'v:servername' --remote
+\%l \%f" -sourceposition ' . line(".") . expand("%") . " " .
expand(Tex_GetMainFileName(':r')) . ".dvi &"<CR><CR>
let g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi = 'xdvi -editor "vim --servername vimtex --remote
+\%l \%f"'

and by pressing ctrl and double clicking the mouse in xdvi, the cursor of
vim jumps to somewhere I want, it works perfectly and I am happy with it
but my little problem is that, after double click the mouse while pressing
the ctrl, I would still stay in the window of xdvi, in other words the
window of vim
did not get the focus so I have to use alt+tab to switch to vim's window, it
is a little inconvenient.  Is there anyway to let the windows of vim to
obtain the focus automatically?
I am using gnome... Thanks :)

And, as described in my last contribution to this thread, even \[...\]
is going the way of deprecation. Shortcuts should be implemented
within each editor (e.g., with vim-latex "EEQ" and such). There's no
need to use short-form displaymode environments (they're deceiving
anyway). To add to that, the improvements made by mathtools (and even
amsmath) have trouble trickling down through $$...$$ and \[...\] (if I
recall from the docs correctly).

There are lots of environments (e.g., ones that live inside math
environments, like aligned and bmatrix) that are probably best left
alone.

I think this usage is deprecated. I believe that some of the
improvements made by mathtools (and even amsmath) have difficulty
being implemented with the old style displaymode delimiters.
Especially because Vim has macros that make the environments as easy
to use as the short forms, I don't think much effort should go into
making vim-latex support $$...$$.

The two options
\begin{equation*}
    cursor here
 \end{equation*}<++>

and

\begin{equation*}
    cursor here
 \end{equation*}
<++>

are only one button away from each other, and I don't see why is hard to
stick to option 1, press Ctrl-J to the placeholder, and then Enter to go to
new line.

I am also skeptical about the use of $$ ... $$. This is not a Vim-LaTeX
problem, but a LaTeX one. The use of $$ has been replaced long time ago by
\[ ... \]. Using double dollars is obsolete, and it would be better to
change this habit rather than Vim-LaTeX.

Best.

Daniele

It seems to me, that this behaviour can only be changed easily for all
environments and not especially for equation*. I am currently not sure,
if this makes sense for every environment. Are there more opinions on
this?

I believe this would require a major change, too, because the $$ mapping
will always be evaluated before you can type the third dollar sign.
