[Vim-latex-devel] personal templates

Hi, 

is it possible to store templates in a user's home directory? I don't want to
fiddle around with the global settings/templates.

Best regards

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] Wish list: Inserting a Reference - open files RO

[Jan H. <vim...@so...>]

Hi all,



typically i have several gvims opened with *.tex files. When i want to 
enter reference (F9), it opens in preview window the source of reference. But it opens 
in *edit* mode, which cause vim to ask question "Swap file already exists...", which 
is annoying.

 Would it be possible to open files in preview as read-only (maybe as 
configurable option)? 



I understand, that this happens at line

exe 'silent! 
bot pedit +'.viewline.' '.viewfile

but have no idea, how to insert ro 
option.



Thanks,



Jan  

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] vim-latex on mac, a problem in previewer setting

[Shingo A. <vim...@so...>]

Hello,



I use vim-latex in mac os x, and today I update from 1.5 to 20040805.

Then 
¥ll won't work in my box.



The way ¥ll works has been changed, and viewer rules 
g:Tex_ViewRule_{pdf,ps,dvi}  too.

Now, ftplugin/texrc 
says

g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf takes Application commands 

to open pdf/dvi files (no 
'open' needed) , 

and if leave blank, the system picks the default app(ex. 
preview.app).



Tex_ViewLaTeX() implements as above.



                if 
strlen(s:viewer)

                        let s:viewer = '-a '.s:viewer

                endif

                let execString = 'open 
'.s:viewer.' $*.'.s:target



but if leave g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf blank,

when 
open a .tex file I get an error from Tex_SetTeXCompilerTarget() like this



No View 
rule defined for target pdf

Please specify a rule in 
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/tex/texrc.

:help Tex_ViewRule_format for more 
information



so, I made this patch (rather ad-hoc).

Hello, 





I would like to know how to modify the latex-suite

zi and zn are your friends.

You should ask Matthieu to reset &foldenable in his plugin.

I recently discovered vim-latex, it's very nice. I find very useful to have the 
whole latex document folded, I even like to refresh the foldings when possible. What I 
didn't like is that I haven't found a "unfolding" command. I was using vimspell to

group to find where the spelling errors were. Not very comfortable!

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] Error in function Tex_RunLaTeX

[Bjoern R. <vim...@so...>]

Hi!



A few days ago, I discovered your project when looking for a way to edit tex 
files in vim. I am running Debian Sarge, so I installed the Debian-package 
(vim-latexsuite (0.20040805-1)).



When trying to compile a tex-file using the 
'\ll'-command, I get the following error message:

processing function Tex_RunLaTeX:

I could not 
find anything about it in your FAQ. Please tell me if this is a misconfiguration or if 
maybe something is wrong with the debian package. 



Thanks in advance for your

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] Installation Problem?

[Young <vim...@so...>]

I followed the installation instruction, but it does not seem to work.

I downloaded 
and installed vim 6.3 and extracted latexSuite.tar.gz in the vim directory. (I am 
using Yellow Dog linux and I assumed ~/.vim directory in the instruction meant the vim 
directory)

And I could not fine .vimrc file, but found vimrcexample file 
instead.

In the vimrcexample file, it is said copy this file to use it.

So, I copied 
it and assumed this as .vimrc file and changed it according to the instruction.

And 
after I installed help files, help files won't be opened if I type ":help 
latex-suite.txt" according to the instruction.

But, it will be opened if I type 
":help latex" instead.

After finishing installation procedure, I ran latex and it 
returns with the error message "bash: latex: command not found".

I think 
installation failed, but do not know what is wrong.

Please help me on this 
problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] vimspell and german quotation marks

[Sebastian M. <vim...@so...>]

Hi!



If I open a new (german) quotation with \" I get a vimspell error after every 
word.



Im not sure if this is a bug in vimspell or latex-suite (or my config)... I 
thinks it\'s vimspell. 



Anyway: If I _type_ \\glqq and \\grqq everything is ok. 




Now: How do I map these commands to SmartQuotation? 



I tried:

let 
b:Tex_SmartQuoteOpen = \'\\glqq \'

let b:Tex_SmartQuoteClose = \'\\grqq \'

in 
the german-package but when I try to close quote, I get \\glqq again.



Any idea 
what\'s wrong here?

[Vim-latex-devel] FixMe in texviewer.vim

[Aditya M. <adi...@al...>]

Hello,
  In the latest version of latex-suite, there is a fixme in function 
Tex_GrepHelper()

line 462: texviewer.vim
 	let mainfname = Tex_GetMainFileName(':p')
 	" If we are already editing the file, then use :split without any
 	" arguments so it works even if the file is modified.
 	" FIXME: If mainfname is being presently edited in another window and
 	"        is 'modified', then the second split statement will not work.
 	"        We will need to travel to that window and back.
 	if mainfname == expand('%:p')
 		split
 	else
 		exec 'split '.mainfname
 	endif


I think that this can be corrected as follows

   let mainfname = Tex_GerMainFileName(':p')
   " If mainfname is currently being edited, split
   if mainfname == expand('%:p')
     split
   " if mainfname is open in another window, drop
   elseif bufwinnr(mainfname) != -1
     exec 'drop '.mainfname
   else
     exec 'split '.mainfname
   endif

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] Alt Key Macros

[Richard K. <vim...@so...>]

The user manual says (in section 3.10.2) that Alt-m inserts \\mathbf{}, but this 
should apparently be alt-m (which is accurately described in 9.1.2).



All 
default alt-combos work for me in gvim except for alt-i.  Any hints to get it to work, 
short of remapping the combo?



Also, none of the alt-combos work for me for command 
line vime (run either from the console or rxvt).  Any tricks to make this 
work?



Thanks!

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] vim-latex on os x

[Jacob E. <vim...@so...>]

I\'ve just started using vim-latex, and I\'m having two problems:



1) \\lv 
refuses to work the way I expect.  It always calls xpdf (which I don\'t have installed), 
even though g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf = \'preview\' and G:Tex_ViewRuleComplete = \'open 
$*.pdf\'.  :!open <filename>.pdf works though.  Echo gives the expected value for the 
variables above.



2)  The F9 autocompletion features sound great, but F9 is mapped 
for expose in os x... can all F9 functions be remapped easily in vim-latex? 



Thanks 
for any help you can provide.

[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] imaps.vim - error when defining shortcut with first character being multibyte

[Michael H. <vim...@so...>]

Hi,



imaps in LookupCharacter(char) tries to delete the entered chars of the 
shortcut, omitting the first one:



\" enough back-spaces to erase the left-hand 
side;

\" -1 for the last character typed:

let bs = substitute(strpart(lhs, 1), 
\".\", \"\\<bs>\", \"g\")



This fails if the first character is a multibyte 
character. The strpart, instead of skipping the whole first character, will only 
skip the first byte, thus erasing one character to much. A solution for this would be 




let bs = substitute(substitute(lhs, \'^.\', \'\', \'\'), \".\", \"\\<bs>\", 
\"g\")



The substitute takes care of multibyte characters.



Bye

Hi!

When using F7 to insert references, the list i can chose from is rather
long.  Would it be possible to layout it a bit more reasonable? e.g.
lexikographically, so that "sec:"- and "fig:"-prefixes stand together.

And again: If it's easy to script it myself, please give me a hint. im
still a vim-newbie. :-)

It should be $RUNTIMEPATH/ftplugin/tex/texrc.

However, I still have a feeling that for some reason, your setting for
g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi is not taking effect. What does

:set makeprg?

say when you open a .tex file? It should echo back the value of
g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi. If it doesn't, then there's your problem...

Another place to try putting the value of g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi would be
in your ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/tex.vim. That will hopefully always get
sourced...

Hi,

currently I use the Latex-Suite with gVim 6.2 (with WinXP and MiKTEX).

When I 
compile my .tex-file via command line with compile flag \'--src-specials\' (and 
when I switch back to gVim and press \'\\lv\') everything works fine. But compiling 
from within gVim/Latex-Suite does not. (Compilation works, but no source 
specials)

I tried a modified ftplugin/tex.vim-file as described in 
\'latex-suite-quickstart.html\' -- no go.

Before I set the 
\'-src-specials\'-flag in ftplugin/tex/texrc -- no go.

btw: is it texrc or 
texrc.vim? (But I tried both - that is not the point with this problem.)
