[Vim-latex-devel] Support for amsmath environments

[Olivier M. <sht...@ss...>]

Hello,

It would be great if abbreviation and completion support was added for
well known constructs from the amsmath package like 'align' (EAL?)*,
'split'* (EST?), gather (EGA?) or cases (ECA?).

Maybe this can be done only when the amsmath package is included? This
would however cause small issues when working in \include'd files.

Hope to see this feature soon (:

* '==' should then be replaced by '&=' instead of '&=&' as is the case
for 'eqnarray's
** for split environments, an additional '& \quad' or '\quad' could be
inserted when Tab is pressed

PS: the form at
http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=contact&title=Contact
doesn't seem to work: I properly entered my email address and the
message, but it wouldn't let me send an email.

You could always try something similar in your own .vimrc... For 
example, on one line:


au VimEnter * call IMAP('EAL', 
"\\begin{align}\<cr><++>\<cr>\\end{align}\<cr>\<cr><++>", 'tex')


[ note: while we're deprecating things, you should probably be using
mathtools instead of old-and-busted amsmath. :) ]

Something like this could certainly be added. Strangely, LaTeX-suite 
doesn't implement it's own macros with something like the example I 
gave. So someone needs to go in an hack all of the AMS-style 
environments (gather, gathered, align, aligned, multline, flalign, 
alignat, etc. (and all the starred forms)) and check it into the SVN.

If you'd like to make the change, do so and post your patch on the list. 
One of the administrators will apply it to the SVN version.
