Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Cite+F9 completion problem

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

Hi,

I am using debian/testing and corresponding
vim-latexsuite from debian repository. I have also the
latest version of gvim and vim-python installed. 

The strange thing that the problem which I explained
below, is not existent in gvim6.4. I think newer
version of gvim in future bring some more 
inconsistencies  with  vim-latexsuite. So I abondened
using gvim 7.1 with vim-latexsuite. 


Regards,
Ahmet

What version of latex-suite do you use? Try the latest and install
vim-python. Also try opening tex file with gvim or vim from the
terminal.

[Vim-latex-devel] Cite+F9 completion problem

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

Hi,
I am sorry to repeat my problem again because this bug
is still persistent. I submitted this bug to the list
before but I think nobody except me has a problem with
it. 
I am explaining the problem briefly. In the vim-latex
suite manual, it says that:

#

If a \bibliography command is not found, then
Latex-Suite tries to scan the present file for a
\begin{thebibliography} environment. If found,
Latex-Suite searches the present file for bib-keys of
the form \bibitem.
#

The above explanation doesn't work for me. \cite{+f9 
doesn't bring any bibitem. It happens nothing. But
\ref{+f9 works. 

I wonder someone advise me a workaround.

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] latex doesn't generate dvi file anymore?

[Ted P. <te...@te...>]

Sure, of course, but if you want to FORCE production of a DVI (for 
example, when you select "dvi" as a target in Vim), you'll have to add 
the command-line switch in your .vimrc.

Hi,

thank you all for the responses. I think i've found the reason why the
pdftex generated the pdf file directly. There is a STRING ``pdftex''
in the preamble of the tex file (\usepackage[pdftex,bookmarks]
{hyperref}). If i remove it from the tex file, then i get a dvi file.

Hmm, that's weird because i could get a dvi file sometime with the
very same tex file.

Anyway, thank you again for the help.

pdflatex symlinks to pdftex. pdftex is what runs them all. Everything 
has been consolidated into pdftex.

pdftex --help

is a quick way to verify all of this. Of course, "man pdftex" will also 
work fine. Note that "man pdftex" brings up the same man page as "man 
pdflatex".

Don't be deceived by the name. "pdftex" just means "normal tex that is
able to produce PDFs, but it doesn't have to."

If you type:

pdftex --help

I think you'll find a bunch of options that answer your question. In
particular,

pdftex -output-format=dvi

Hope that helps. --

AFAIU that's pretty much default in most distributions and TeXLive now. (actually it should be pdflatex, not pdftex.) 
Does it help if you specify '-output-format dvi' as a command-line parameter? (man pdflatex)

Hello list,

well, my problem should be already out of the range of this list, but
maybe i'd get some useful hints.

Anyway, i was trying to generate dvi file, but found the latex doesn't
do it anymore, i'm pretty sure that the target format is dvi. The
binary program of latex is from the package texlive-latex-base
2007-13.

To get the dvi file is really important to me because of my native

[Vim-latex-devel] Forward searches in OS X

[Ted P. <te...@te...>]

I thought this list was dead. To my surprise, there are recent messages 
in here.

If anyone ever updates the Vim-LaTeX suite, they may want to apply these 
patches:

http://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2007/07/vim-latex-modification-forward.html

which allow forward searches/forward viewing to actually work in OS X.

I have also made numerous changes to the compiler.vim file to make 
compiling smoother (i.e., actually run MAKEINDEX when necessary and 
re-run bibtex at smarter times).

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Installation on Ubuntu

[Guido M. <gui...@un...>]

Many thanks for the information kindly supplied by listmembers. i was not 
aware of vim-addon-manager (shame; I use vim everyday and I should have 
known). 
I decided to leave the main installation as it was because another user could 
use the same files. I noticed that the installation process of this 
vim-addon-manager was simply a set of symbolik links in my home (clever 
indeed). So I copied manually my personal settings (file texrc) 
in .vim/ftplugin/tex and it's all right.

Offtopic: I have that behavior often. Is there a workaround to get gvim

If you open tex file with gvim from nautilus, at least on Ubuntu 7.04,
gvim does not set the correct current directory. Then F9 completion does
not work with \cite and bibtex. Try opening file from terminal from the
directory where the file resides.

I use \bibliography{mybib} and mybib.bib is the bibtex file in the same
directory.
On another machine, running gentoo, this works fine.

Works perfectly for me.
How are you including your .bib-file, with extension or without?

By the way it would be nice if you started a new thread when you ask a

Hi All,

I have some trouble with the F9 completition of my bibtex items under Ubuntu
7.10.
When I write \cite{ and F9 an empty preview window comes up. (My bib file is
setup correctly)
For the \ref{ command it works.

I also installed the latest version in my .vim folder (removing the ubuntu
package before) but this didn't change anything.
Can anyone reproduce this?

Actually debian even patched latex-suite, I don't know if these patches
are going upstream though. The latest patch in the changelog that is not

Yes. Especicially since the version is outdated. Current version in

The location is not unusual, it is site-wide installation, i.e.
everybody user on your system can use vim-latex, without the need of
installing it. If you are the sole user of the computer I think it makes
sense to install vim-latex locally (as you did in Mandriva), since this
is the way the author suggests it, and all the tutorials are written
with this configuration in mind. Of course you must remove the Ubuntu
package before installing local version.  Ubuntu package is ok, if you
do not intend to change any vim-latex settings, and use the defaults.

[Vim-latex-devel] Installation on Ubuntu

[Guido M. <gui...@un...>]

Dear all,
I am experimenting a new Linux distribution (Ubunto 7.10), which I am very 
impressed by. I installed vim-latex using an automatic installation tool, 
called Synaptic, but to my amazement the files were not installed in the .vim 
directory (which does not exist), but on 
/usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite

Would you suggest to remove this installation and install the program manually 
(on my Mandriva I did so and it's all right), to use a symbolic link or can I 
use  this unusual location of the files?

Thank you, and congratulations on this excellent program. I am writing a 
manual on LaTeX for the humanities (in Italian) and the program will be 
mentioned as an excellent "companion" for scholars in our fields.

Cheers,
g

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] change macros

[Valentin F. <flu...@gm...>]

Thanks for the help. I figured it out.
The problem is that s: only defines local functions.
So i copied the files envmacros.vim and wizardfunctions.vim (where the
functions and macros are defined) to .vim/after/ftplugin/
and changed all the commands in envmacros.vim using a recording :-).

What about .vim/after/ftplugin/tex.vim?

[Vim-latex-devel] change macros

[Valentin F. <flu...@gm...>]

Dear All,

I just learned about the latex suite and i really like it.
However, I have a problem with the macros.

The bibtex-ids i use are of the form "first three letters of the author and
the year " for example SCH99.
SCH for instance now clashes with the chapter-macro. I could turn the
three-letter-macros of, but I would prefer to change them, for example using
"_SCH".

I tried this in my tex.vim file

call IMAP('SCH','SCH','tex')
call s:Tex_SectionMacros('_SCH', 'chapter')

but i get an error that s:Tex_SectionMacros is not defined.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Valentin

P.S: the same question has been asked before:
