[Vim-latex-devel] abbreviations break in vim-latex

[D. M. <da...@mi...>]

Greetings,

I am quite impressed with vim latex, but my abbreviation mappings seem
to be broken when editing .tex files.  For example I have been using in
my .vimrc:

iab    mul     $\mu$l
iab    mug     $\mu$g

These work fine while editing non-tex files.  However if I am editing a
tex file 'mug' only works with mug<cr> instead of mug<space> and mul
doesn't work at all!  Am I missing something obvious?  I am using vim
6.1.48 and vim-latex from Feb 05, 2003 (current version on webpage).
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

David

Please try the latest version from the web-page. It should contain a bug
fix to address this... Please let us know if it works...

Thanks for the fast response!  I tried the March 25th version and things
are getting closer. I have the following abbreviation set:

iab     mul     $\mu$l

In vim-latex the '\' is dropped out of the expanded version resulting in
$mu$l  -- If I hit <esc> or <cr> instead of <space> after the
abbreviation it is mapped correctly.

Another abbreviation I routinely use for the date is:

iab     mdyl     <c-r>=strftime("%a %d %b %Y")<cr>

Now in vim-latex this results in:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>10_LookupCharacter:
line   33:
E121: Undefined variable: a
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
Error detected while processing function <SNR>10_LookupCharacter:
line   33:
E15: Invalid expression:  "\<C-R>=strftime("%a %d %b %Y")\<CR>\<Space>"

I hope this information helps,

David

Please try the latest version again...

Also, since you are using latex-suite, take a look at imaps.vim, which
contains an alternate way of creating mappings the way most latex-suite
mappings are created... hopefully, abbreviations will just work though.
