[Vim-latex-devel] need help for customizing compiling settings

[Jin C. <che...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I'm very new to this package but eager to get comfortable with it. I haven't
figured out how to set up the configuration files
so that I can run customized compiling/viewing command when I issue "\ll". I
read through the on-line manual and tried to
put the following lines into the "~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim" file (it's a
ubuntu machine).

I hope to get pdf files via "dvi -> ps -> pdf."

" this is mostly a matter of taste. but LaTeX looks good with just a bit
" of indentation.
 set sw=2
" " TIP: if you write your \label's as \label{fig:something}, then if you
" " type in \ref{fig: and press <C-n> you will automatically cycle through
" " all the figure labels. Very useful!
set iskeyword+=:

" customized compiling settings
let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats = 'dvi,ps,pdf'
let g:Tex_FormatDependency_pdf = 'dvi,ps,pdf'
let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'

" compiling rules
let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex --interaction=nonstopmode $*'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_ps = 'dvips -Ppdf -o $*.ps $*.dvi'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'ps2pdf $*.ps $*.pdf'

" other settings
let g:Tex_IgnoreLevel = 7

I also changed the following line in ~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite/texrc:

if has('macunix')
    TexLet g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'

originally it's dvi instead of pdf.


When I issue "\ll" in VIM, what i got is only dvi output. What else should I
change? I read through the manual several times but still
didn't find a clue. Please advise.

I appreciate your help!

Jin Chen

Hi Jin,

I think you have forgotten to define the ps dependency, texrc:
" Uncomment this line if you compile ps files via dvi files.
" TexLet g:Tex_FormatDependency_ps = 'dvi,ps'

so add

let g:Tex_FormatDependency_ps='dvi,ps'

to your vimrc. Than the program can complete the chain dvi,ps,pdf

cheers,

Dennis

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] need help for customizing compiling settings

[Jin C. <che...@gm...>]

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for your further advices.
I tried you suggestions but still no luck. Here is the related part of my
latest .vimrc:

" for VIM-latex-suite usage
let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats = 'dvi,ps'
let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat='pdf'
let g:Tex_FormatDependency_ps='dvi,ps'
let g:Tex_FormatDependency_pdf='dvi,ps,pdf'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi='latex --interaction=nonstopmode $*'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_ps='dvips -o $*.ps $*.dvi'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf='ps2pdf $*.ps'
let g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf='acroread'

Then below are the related parts of my texrc:

if has('macunix')
    TexLet g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'
else
    TexLet g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'
endif
......
" Compiler rules {{{
" This is the first thing you should customize. It is set up for most common
" values, but if use some other compiler, then you will want to change this.
" As CompileFlags value you'd perhaps like to use, e.g., '-src-specials',
" but it is known that it can sometimes give different results in the
output,
" so use it with care. The '-file-line-error' flag helps sanitize LaTeX
error
" messages for processing by Vim.
TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex -interaction=nonstopmode $*'
TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_ps = 'dvips -Ppdf -o $*.ps $*.dvi'
TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'ps2pdf $*.ps'
TexLet g:Tex_EscapeChars = '{}\'


" ways to generate pdf files. there are soo many...
" NOTE: pdflatex generates the same output as latex. therefore quickfix is
"       possible.
" TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode $*'

" TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'dvipdfm $*.dvi'
" TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'dvipdf $*.dvi'

TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_html = 'latex2html $*.tex'

TexLet g:Tex_CompileRule_bib = g:Tex_BibtexFlavor . ' $*'

" Set Tex_UseMakefile to 0 if you want to ignore the presence of a Makefile
" when deciding how to compile
TexLet g:Tex_UseMakefile = 1

" }}}

In case you wonder my tex.vim:

" this is mostly a matter of taste. but LaTeX looks good with just a bit
" of indentation.
 set sw=2
" " TIP: if you write your \label's as \label{fig:something}, then if you
" " type in \ref{fig: and press <C-n> you will automatically cycle through
" " all the figure labels. Very useful!
set iskeyword+=:


Could you please check if I missed anything here? I appreciate your help!

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] need help for customizing compiling settings

[LAG G. <l.g...@sc...>]

Dear Jin,

I compared what you use against what I use and it is the same. My next
suggestion is that you try your compilation command line first and see
if nothing is wrong with either dvips or ps2pdf. If that works you can
try to generate a ps file by setting the target to ps. Since you were
already able to create your dvi file, at least that should work. If not
we should concentrate on getting your dvi->ps part to work first.

cheers,

Dennis

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] need help for customizing compiling settings

[Jin C. <che...@gm...>]

Hi Dennis,

I tried dvips, ps2pdf in the terminal, and they worked just fine. In
vim-latex-suite, I can get dvi files but no ps or pdf files.
I can't get ps files when I changed the compile target to ".ps", so I guess
it is where the problem happens.

Do you have any ideas why this happened and how should I correct it? Thanks
a lot for your patience and helps!


Sincerely,
Jin Chen

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] need help for customizing compiling settings

[Jin C. <che...@gm...>]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your suggestions, unfortunately still no luck. I suppose your
suggested adding the rule
into texrc file, right? I actually added it into both texrc and .vimrc, but
still didn't work -- I just can't
generate a .ps file from the .dvi file. Any thoughts on this situation?

Seems like I'm running into a
stubborn case...


Sincerely,
Jin Chen

Re: [Vim-latex-devel] need help for customizing compiling settings

[Jin C. <che...@gm...>]

Hi All,

Thanks for everybody's help! I still have my problem using VIM-latex-suite:
.dvi is generated but not for .ps or .pdf files.

Does anybody could share your configuration file with me? The files that you
make any changes
when you configure latex-suite package, .vimrc, texrc, or even tex.vim? I am
using an Ubuntu 9.10 box on a 64-bit Intel machine,
and VIM version v7.2.245. If you consider your environment is similar to
mine, please send me a copy of your
configuration files for my reference.

I appreciate your help!


Sincerely,
Jin Chen
