Thread: [Vim-latex-devel] Problems with templates

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I'm having a problem that when I choose a template it ends up with
several lines at the top snipped off and the spacing/indentation is
messed up too.

Any help be great, thanks

I've had the same observation with my templates. If you analyze the generic templates -
they all start with some lines producing a file header, and the first
line -- only the first one -- is stripped. I think this line is for a
comment on the template file that is not part of the file. Thus, my
custom templates start with

%

as first line.

The latter is a problem of vim when you do pasting with automatic
indentation turned on (as is default with most filetype plugins) -- the
indentations of the pasted text and the autoindent induced indentations
sum up, messing the format.

see
  :help paste
for detail,
use
  :set paste
before pasting text
and
  :set nopaste
to return to normal behaviour.

You could also paste text from the system 'clipboard' using the '*'
buffer (in command mode):
"*p

For more information see the vim help pages on *registers* [1] and
*x11-selection* [2].

Strangely, the problem has gone. I had tried :set paste and turning
off autoindent, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Obviously
something I did fixed it, but I don't know what...

I spoke too soon I think. Something strange is going on here. Compare
my koma-letter template original to what gets pasted into vim:

Original:

   7 \usepackage[strict=true, style=british]{csquotes}
  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
  10 \newif\ifletterclosed
  11 \AtEndDocument{\ifletterclosed\else\end{letter}\fi}
  12 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% User specified LaTeX commands.
  13 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
  14 %% Here you can modify the layout of your letter
  15 %% Have a look at the KOMA script documentation
  16 %% for details. Most commands are commented out
  17 %% here (i.e. we use default settings)
  18 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
  19 %% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)
  20 \LoadLetterOption{DIN}%

The result:

   7 \usepackage[strict=true, style=british]{csquotes}
   8 0
   9 %% Here you can modify the layout of your letter
  10 %% Have a look at the KOMA script documentation
  11 %% for details. Most commands are commented out
  12 %% here (i.e. we use default settings)
  13 0
  14 %% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)
  15 \LoadLetterOption{DIN}%

It seems to have deleted some lines and replaced some with '0'.

Please, try deleting some comment signs, e.g. using something like:

\usepackage[strict=true, style=british]{csquotes}
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\newif\ifletterclosed
\AtEndDocument{\ifletterclosed\else\end{letter}\fi}
%% User specified LaTeX commands.
%%%
% Here you can modify the layout of your letter
% Have a look at the KOMA script documentation
% for details. Most commands are commented out
% here (i.e. we use default settings)
%%%
% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)
\LoadLetterOption{DIN}%

This since the missing lines are mostly those with most '%' in them.
This is not really a solution, but it can help pinpoint the issue.
