-" IMPORTANT: win32 users will need to have 'shellslash' set so that latex

-" IMPORTANT: grep will sometimes skip displaying the file name if you

-
-" OPTIONAL: This enables automatic indentation as you type.
-filetype indent on
-
-" OPTIONAL: Starting with Vim 7, the filetype of empty .tex files defaults to

-" The following changes the default filetype back to 'tex':
-let g:tex_flavor='latex'

- <title>Inserting Templates</title>
- <para>
- This functionality is available via the <literal>TeX-Suite &gt;
- Templates</literal> menu.
- This module provides a way to insert custom templates at the beginning of the
- current file.
- </para>
- <para>
- When &ls; first starts up, it scans the
- <literal>$VIM/ftplugin/latex-suite/templates/</literal>
- directory and creates menu items based on the files found there. When
- you select a template from this menu, the file will be read in above
- the first line of the current file.
- </para>
- <para>
- A template file can utilize placeholders for initializing the cursor
- position when the template is read in and subsequent movement. In
- addition, template files can contain dynamic elements such as the
- time of creation of a file etc, by using vim expressions.
- </para>
- <para>
- You can place your own templates in the
- <literal>$VIM/ftplugin/latex-suite/templates/</literal> directory in
- order for them to be available via the menu. Unless &ls; releases a
- template with the same name, these files should not get over-written
- when you install a new release over an existing one.
- </para>
- <note>
- <para>
- Templates are also accessible for non-gui users with the command
- |<literal>:TTemplate</literal>|. The argument should be name of
- the corresponding template file. If the command is called
- without arguments (preferred usage), then a list of available
- templates is displayed and the user is asked to choose one of
- them.

- <title>&ls; Macros</title>
- <para>
- &ls; ships with a very comprehensive set of insert mode and
- |visual-mode| mappings and menu items to typeset most of the LaTeX
- elements.
- </para>
- <note>
- <para>
- These mappings are are not standard mappings in the sense that
- only the last character is mapped. See plugin/imaps.vim for
- further documentation. For example, in the case of the mapping
- <literal>EFI</literal> provided by &ls; you can press the characters
- '<literal>E</literal>', '<literal>F</literal>' and '<literal>I</literal>'
- as slowly as you wish (unlike the normal <literal>imap</literal> command
- where <literal>timeout</literal> issues are involved). The characters are
- visible as you type them (unlike normal <literal>imap</literal>s) and you
- can use the movement or backspace key to correct yourself unlike normal
- mappings.
- </para>
- </note>
- <anchor id="place-holder" />
- <note id="place-holders">
- <title>Place Holders</title>
- <para>
- Almost all macros provided in &ls; implement Stephen Riem's bracketing
- system and Gergely Kontra's <literal>JumpFunc()</literal> for handling
- place-holders. This consists of using "place-holders" to mark off
- locations where the next relevant editing has to be done. As an example,
- when you type <literal>EFI</literal> in |insert-mode|, you will get the
- following:
- <programlisting>\begin{figure}[h]
- \centerline{\psfig{figure=&lt;+eps file+&gt;}}
- \caption{&lt;+caption text+&gt;}
- \label{fig:&lt;+label+&gt;}
-\end{figure}&lt;++&gt;</programlisting>
- The text <literal>&lt;+eps file+&gt;</literal> will be selected and
- you will be left in |select-mode| so that you can continue typing
- straight away. After having typed in the file name, you can press
- <literal>&lt;Ctrl-J&gt;</literal> (while still in insert-mode). This will
- take you directly to the next "place-holder". i.e, <literal>&lt;+caption
- text+&gt;</literal> will be visually selected with Vim in select mode
- again for typing in the caption. This saves on a lot of key presses.

- <title>Over-riding &ls; Macros</title>
- <para>
- If you wish to change these macros from their default values, for
- example, if you wish to change <literal>`w</literal> to expand to
- <literal>\omega</literal> instead of its default expansion to
- <literal>\wedge</literal>, you should use the <literal>IMAP</literal>
- function as described in the <link linkend="ls-new-macros">Using
- IMAP()</link> section.
- </para>
- <para>
- An important thing to note is that if you wish to over-ride macros
- created by &ls; rather than merely create new macros, you should place
- the <literal>IMAP()</literal> calls in a script which gets sourced
- after the files in &ls;. A good place typically is as a file-type
- plugin file in the
- <literal>~/.vim/after/ftplugin/</literal> directory. (Use
- <literal>~/vimfiles</literal> if you are using
- <literal>WINDOWS</literal>). For example to over-ride
- <literal>`w</literal> to <literal>\omega</literal> instead of
- <literal>\wedge</literal>, place the following line in (say)
- <literal>~/.vim/after/ftplugin/tex_macros.vim</literal>:
- <programlisting>call IMAP('`w', '\omega', 'tex')</programlisting>
- </para>
- <note>
- <para>
- It is important to use a file-name which will get sourced on a
- <literal>FileType</literal> event. Therefore you must use a file-name
- which conforms to the standards as described in
- <literal>|ftplugin-name|</literal>.

- <note id="pausing-imaps">
- <title>Pausing Macro expansion</title>

- If you wish to temporarily suspend the imaps functionality, then you
- can set the <literal>Imap_FreezeImap</literal> to 1. If you set

- <para>
- If you press <literal>&lt;F5&gt;</literal> in the insert or normal
- mode while on an empty line, &ls; prompts you with a list of
- environments you might want to insert. You can either choose one
- from the list or type in a new environment name. If you press
- <literal>&lt;F5&gt;</literal> on a line which already has a word,
- then that word is used instead of prompting.
- </para>
- <para>
- See <link linkend="Tex_Env_name">Tex_Env_name</link> for a
- description of how &ls; uses the word to form the expansion and how
- to modify &ls;'s behavior.
- </para>
- <para>
- The list of environments which &ls; prompts you with (when
- <literal>&lt;F5&gt;</literal> is pressed on an empty line) is formed
- from the <link
- linkend="Tex_PromptedEnvironments">Tex_PromptedEnvironments</link>
- setting.

- <section id="inserting-env-shift-f1">
- <title>Method 2: Using <literal>&lt;S-F1&gt;</literal>-<literal>&lt;S-F4&gt;</literal></title>
- <para>
- The shifted function keys, <literal>&lt;S-F1&gt;</literal> to
- <literal>&lt;S-F4&gt;</literal> can be mapped to insert very commonly
- used environments. The environments mapped to each key can be
- customized via the <link
- linkend="Tex_HotKeyMappings">g:Tex_HotKeyMappings</link> setting.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section id="inserting-env-threeletter">
- <title>Method 3: Using three letter sequences</title>
- <para>
- Environments can also be inserted by pressing a 3 capital letter
- sequence starting with an <literal>E</literal>. The sequence of 3
- letters generally tries to follow the following rules:
- </para>
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem>
- All environment mappings begin with <literal>E</literal>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- If the environment can be broken up into 2 distinct words,
- such as flushright (flush + right), then the next 2 letters
- are the first letters of the 2 words. Example:
- <programlisting>flushleft (_f_lush + _l_eft) ---&gt; EFL
-flushright (_f_lush + _r_ight) ---&gt; EFR
-eqnarray (_e_qn + _a_rray) ---&gt; EEA</programlisting>
- If on the other hand, the environment name cannot be broken
- up into 2 distinct words, then the next 2 letters are the
- first 2 letters of the name of the environment.
- Example:
- <programlisting>equation (_eq_uation) ---&gt; EEQ</programlisting>
- </listitem>
- </orderedlist>
- <para>
- Unfortunately there are some environments that cannot be
- split in two words and first two letters in name are
- identical. In this case shortcut is created from E, first and
- last letter. Example:
- <programlisting>quote (_q_uot_e_) ---&gt; EQE
-quotation (_q_uotatio_n_) ---&gt; EQN</programlisting>
- Of course, not every last one of the environments can follow
- this rule because of ambiguities. In case of doubt, pull down
- the Tex-Environments menu. The menu item should give the hint
- for the map.
- </para>
- </section>
- </section>
- <section id="enclosing-environments">
- <title>Enclosing in Environments</title>
- <para>
- &ls; provides visual-mode mappings which enclose visually
- selected portions of text in environments. There are two ways provided
- to do this.
- </para>
- <section id="enclosing-env-f5">
- <title>Method 1: Pressing <literal>&lt;F5&gt;</literal></title>
- <para>
- You can also select a portion of text visually and press
- <literal>&lt;F5&gt;</literal> while still in visual mode. This will
- prompt you with a list of environments. (This list can be customized
- via the <link
- linkend="Tex_PromptedEnvironments">g:Tex_PromptedEnvironments</link>
- setting). You can either choose from this list or type in a new
- environment name. Once the selection is done, &ls; encloses the
- visually selected portion in the chosen environment.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section id="enclosing-env-threeletter">
- <title>Method 2: Using three letter mappings</title>
- <para>
- You can also select text visually and press a sequence of three
- characters beginning with <literal>,</literal> (the single comma
- character) and the selected text will be enclosed in the chosen
- environment. The three letter sequence follows directly from the
- three letter sequence used to insert environments as described <link
- linkend="inserting-env-threeletter">here</link>. The following
- example describes the rule used:
- </para>
- <para>
- If <literal>ECE</literal> inserts a
- <literal>\begin{center}...\end{center}</literal> environment, then to
- enclose a block of selected text in
- <literal>\begin{center}...\end{center}</literal>, simply select the
- text and press <literal>,ce</literal>. The rule simply says that the
- leading <literal>E</literal> is converted to <literal>,</literal> and
- the next 2 letters are small case.
- </para>
- </section>
- <para>
- Some of the visual mode mappings are sensitive to whether you
- choose line-wise or character-wise. For example, if you choose a
- word and press <literal>,ce</literal>, then you get
- <literal>\centerline{word}</literal>, whereas if you press
- <literal>,ce</literal> on a line-wise selection, you get:
- <programlisting>\begin{center}
- line
-\end{center}</programlisting>
- </para>
- </section>
- <section id="changing-environments">
- <title>Changing Environments</title>
- <para>
- Pressing <literal>&lt;S-F5&gt;</literal> in normal mode detects which
- environment the cursor is presently located in and prompts you to
- replace it with a new one. The innermost environment is detected. For
- example, in the following source:
- <programlisting>\begin{eqnarray}
- \begin{array}{ccc}
- 2 &amp; 3 &amp; 4
- \end{array}
-\end{eqnarray}</programlisting>
- if you are located in the middle "2 &amp; 3 &amp; 4" line, then pressing
- <literal>&lt;S-F5&gt;</literal> will prompt you to change the array
- environment, not the eqnarray environment. In addition, &ls; will also
- try to change lines within the environment to be consistent with the
- new environment. For example, if the original environment was an
- <literal>eqnarray</literal> environment with a
- <literal>\label</literal> command, then changing it to an
- <literal>eqnarray*</literal> environment will delete the
- <literal>\label</literal>.
- </para>
- <para>
- Pressing <literal>&lt;F5&gt;</literal> in normal mode has the same
- effect as pressing <literal>&lt;F5&gt;</literal> in insert-mode,
- namely you will be prompted to choose an environment to insert.

- <para>
- Using <literal>IMAP</literal> instead of &vim;'s built-in
- <literal>:imap</literal> command has a couple of advantages:
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem>
- The 'ttimeout' option will generally limit how easily you can type
- the left hand side for a normal <literal>:imap</literal>. if you type
- the left hand side too slowly, then the mapping will not be
- activated.
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- If you mistype one of the letters of the lhs, then the mapping is
- deactivated as soon as you backspace to correct the mistake.
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- The characters in lhs are shown on top of each other. This is fairly

- This is the "left-hand-side" of the mapping. When you use
- <literal>IMAP</literal>, only the last character of this word is
- actually mapped, although the effect is that the whole word is
- mapped.
- </para>
- <para>
- If you have two mappings which end in a common
- <literal>lhs</literal>, then the mapping with the longer
- <literal>lhs</literal> is used. For example, if you do
- <programlisting>call IMAP('BarFoo', 'something', 'tex')
-call IMAP('Foo', 'something else', 'tex')</programlisting>
- Then typing <literal>BarFoo</literal> inserts
- <literal>"something"</literal>, whereas <literal>Foo</literal> by
- itself inserts <literal>"something else"</literal>.
- </para>
- <para>
- Also, the nature of <literal>IMAP()</literal> makes creating
- certain combination of mappings impossible. For example if you
- have
- <programlisting>call IMAP('foo', 'something', 'tex')
-call IMAP('foobar', 'something else', 'tex')</programlisting>
- Then you will never be able to trigger <literal>"foobar"</literal>
- because typing <literal>"foo"</literal> will immediately insert
- <literal>"something"</literal>. This is the "cost" which you incur

- This string can also contain special characters such as

- to specify the second argument in double-quotes as follows:
- <programlisting>:call IMAP('EFE', "\\begin{figure}\&lt;CR&gt;&ph;\\end{figure}&ph;", 'tex')</programlisting>
- With this, typing <literal>EFE</literal> is equivalent to typing
- in the right-hand side with all the special characters in

- indentation set up, then the right hand side will also be
- indented just as if you had typed it in normally.

- where <literal>MyFoonction</literal> is a custom function you have

- &ls; provides an easy way to insert references to labels and

- (<literal>&lt;F9&gt;</literal> by default) to do all of it. Pressing the

- <literal>&lt;F9&gt;</literal> when you are within a
- <literal>\ref</literal> command will try to list the
- <literal>\label</literal>'s in the present directory. Pressing it when
- you are in a <literal>\cite</literal> command will list bibliography

- <para>
- If you notice carefully in the example above, the

- through the errors and press <literal>&lt;enter&gt;</literal> to be
- taken to the location of the corresponding error. Along with the errors
- being listed in the quickfix window, the corresponding log file is also
- opened in |preview| mode beneath the quickfix window. It is scrolled
- automatically to keep in sync with the error being viewed in the

- <title>Setting Compilation rules</title>
- <para>
- In order to compile &latex; files into various formats, &ls; needs to know
- which external programs to call and in which way they need to be called.
- This information is provided to &ls; via a number of "rules". For each
- format you want to compile to, you need to specify a rule. A rule is
- specified by defining a variable of the form:
- <programlisting>g:Tex_CompileRule_&lt;format&gt;</programlisting>
- where <literal>&lt;format&gt;</literal> is a string like
- <literal>"pdf"</literal>, <literal>"dvi"</literal> etc.
- </para>
- <para>
- Example: By default, &ls; uses the following rule for compiling &latex;
- documents into DVI.
- <programlisting>g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex --interaction=nonstopmode $*'</programlisting>
- </para>
- <para>
- Default values are also provided for ps and pdf formats. You might want to

- <section id="compiler-dependency">
- <title>Handling dependencies in compilation</title>
- <para>
- &ls; also handles compiling dependencies automatically via certain
- rules which specify the "dependency chain" for each target format.
- For example, if in your case, you use
- <programlisting>.tex -&gt; .dvi -&gt; .ps -&gt; .pdf</programlisting>
- to generate <literal>pdf</literal> files from <literal>dvi</literal>
- files, then you will need to specify the following setting in your
- &ls; configuration (see <link
- linkend="customizing-latex-suite">customizing &ls;</link> for where
- these settings should go):
- <programlisting>
-let g:Tex_FormatDependency_pdf = 'dvi,ps,pdf'
-</programlisting>
- This is a comma separated string of formats specifying the order in
- which the formats to be compiled into should be chosen. With this
- setting, if you set the target format to <literal>pdf</literal>, then
- the next time you compile via the <literal>\ll</literal> shortcut, &ls;
- will first generate a <literal>dvi</literal> file, then use that to
- generate the <literal>ps</literal> file and finally create the
- <literal>pdf</literal> file from that.
- </para>
- <note>
- <para>
- If any of the intermediate formats is listed in the
- <literal>g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats</literal> setting as described
- in the section <link linkend="compiling-multiple">Compiling multiple

- </note>
- <para>
- Along with the <literal>g:Tex_FormatDependency_{format}</literal>
- setting, you should ofcourse specify the rule for compiling to each of

- <title>Customizing the compiler output</title>
- <para>
- Most &latex; compilers produce a very large amount of output during
- compilation, most of which is not relevant to debugging type-setting
- errors. The compiler plugin provided with &ls; (which is an enhanced
- version of the standard compiler plugin maintained by Artem Chuprina),
- provides a way to filter the compiler output so that the actual
- errors/warnings can be presented much more concisely.
- </para>
- <para>
- The compiler plugin is set up by default to function in a "non-verbose",
- "ignore-common-warnings" mode, which means that irrelevant lines from the
- compiler output will be ignored and some very common warnings are also
- ignored.
- &ls; does this via the global variable <link
- linkend="Tex_IgnoredWarnings"><literal>g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings</literal></link>.
- This is a list of patterns, which can be used to filter out (or ignore)
- some or the warnings and errors reported by the compiler. See the link
- above for its default value.
- </para>
- <para>
- &ls; uses the <link
- linkend="Tex_IgnoreLevel"><literal>g:Tex_IgnoreLevel</literal></link>
- setting to set a default ignore level. For example, for the default
- value of 4, &ls; ignores warnings and errors matching the first 4
- patterns in <literal>g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings</literal>.
- </para>
- <para>
- In addition to setting a default value of the ignore level, &ls;
- provides the ability to set the level dynamically, using the
- <literal>TCLevel</literal> command. For example, if you issue the
- command:
- <programlisting>TCLevel 3</programlisting>
- from within &vim;, then the next time you compile the document, &ls; will
- ignore warnings and errors which match the first three patterns in
- <literal>g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings</literal>.
- </para>
- <para>
- When TCLevel is called with the unquoted string strict as follows:
- <programlisting>TClevel strict</programlisting>
- then &ls; switches to a "verbose", "no-lines-ignored" mode which is useful
- when you want to make final checks of your document and want to be careful
- not to let things slip by.

- <para>
- The order of the words in the <literal>Tex_FoldedXXXX</literal>
- variables is <emphasis>important</emphasis>. The order defines the
- order in which the folds are nested. For example, the value
- <literal>"subsection,section"</literal> for the
- <literal>Tex_FoldedSections</literal> variable will not fold any
- subsections at all. This is because the folds are created in the
- <emphasis>reverse</emphasis> order in which they occur in the
- <literal>Tex_FoldedSections</literal> setting and also, once a fold is
- created, the interior of the fold is not examined for creating
- additional folds. In the above case, this means that a
- <literal>\section</literal> is folded first and then its interior is
- not examined further. The correct value should have been
- <literal>"section,subsection"</literal>
- </para>
- <anchor id="fold-setting-adding" />
- <para>
- Each of the fold setting variables
- <literal>Tex_FoldedSections</literal>,
- <literal>Tex_FoldedEnvironments</literal> etc., as explained previously
- is a comma separated string of variables. However, to make it easier
- to <emphasis>add</emphasis> to the default settings without having to
- repeat the whole default setting again, &ls; uses the following logic
- in forming the complete setting string from the
- <literal>Tex_FoldedXXXX</literal> variables. If the variable starts with
- a comma, then <literal>Tex_FoldedXXXX</literal> is added to the end of
- the default string rather than replacing it. Similarly, if it ends
- with a comma, then it will be prepended to the beginning of the
- default setting rather than replacing it.
- </para>
- <para>
- For example, if <literal>Tex_FoldedEnvironments</literal> is set to the
- string <literal>"myenv"</literal>, then only an environment of the
- form <literal>\begin{myenv}</literal> will be folded. However, if the
- <literal>Tex_FoldedEnvironments</literal> setting is
- <literal>",myenv"</literal>, then the <literal>\begin{myenv}</literal>
- environment will be folded after all other environments in the default
- setting have been folded. On the other hand if
- <literal>Tex_FoldedEnvironments</literal> is of the form
- <literal>"myenv,"</literal>, the <literal>\begin{myenv}</literal>
- environment will be folded before the rest of the environments in the
- default setting.

- <title>Editing the folding.vim file directly</title>
- <para>
- If you are using version 1.5 of &ls; or older, you will need to
- directly edit the
- <literal>$VIM/ftplugin/latex-suite/folding.vim</literal> file if you
- wish to modify the folding scheme. You will need to modify the
- function <literal>MakeTexFolds()</literal> defined in that file to
- modify the fold syntax. <literal>MakeTexFolds</literal> makes a number
- of calls to <literal>AddSyntaxFoldItem</literal>. Each such call
- defines a new "fold item". The order in which these calls are made
- defines how the folds are nested. For example, if you desire an
- <literal>figure</literal> environment to be nested within a
- <literal>section</literal>, then you should define the fold for the
- <literal>figure</literal> first. The syntax of
- <literal>AddSyntaxFoldItem</literal> is as follows:
- <programlisting>AddSyntaxFoldItem(startpat, endpat, startoff, endoff [, startskip, endskip])</programlisting>
- If the last two arguments are omitted, then they are assumed to default
- to the empty strings <literal>''</literal>.
- The explanation for each argument is as follows:

- <literal>startoff</literal> and <literal>endoff</literal> are
- necessary when the folding region does not have a specific end
- pattern corresponding to a start pattern. for example in &latex;,
- <literal>\section{Section Name}</literal> defines the beginning of

- A Pattern Which Defines The Beginning Of A "Skipped" Region.
-
- For example, suppose we define a \itemize fold as follows:
- <programlisting><literal>startpat</literal> = '^\s*\\item',
-<literal>endpat</literal> = '^\s*\\item\|^\s*\\end{\(enumerate\|itemize\|description\)}',
-<literal>startoff</literal> = 0,
-<literal>endoff</literal> = -1</programlisting>
-
- This defines a fold which starts with a line beginning with an
- <literal>\item</literal> and ending one line before a line beginning with an
- <literal>\item</literal> or <literal>\end{enumerate}</literal> etc.
-
- Then, as long as <literal>\item</literal>'s are not nested things are fine.
- However, once items begin to nest, the fold started by one
- <literal>\item</literal> can end because of an
- <literal>\item</literal> in an <literal>\itemize</literal>
- environment within this <literal>\item</literal>. i.e, the following can happen:
-
- <programlisting>\begin{itemize}
-\item Some text &lt;------- fold will start here
-This item will contain a nested item
-\begin{itemize} &lt;----- fold will end here because next line contains \item...
-\item Hello
-\end{itemize} &lt;----- ... instead of here.
-\item Next item of the parent itemize
-\end{itemize}</programlisting>
-
- Therefore, in order to completely define a folding item which
- allows nesting, we need to also define a "skip" pattern.
- <literal>startskip</literal> and end skip do that.
- Leave '' when there is no nesting.

- Many &latex; projects contain multiple source files which are

-\documentclass{report}
-\begin{document}

-\input{abstract.tex}

- <anchor id="latex-master-file-specification" /> In such situations, you will
- need to convey to &ls; that <literal>main.tex</literal> is the main file
- which <literal>\input</literal>s the other files. This is done by creating
- an empty file called <literal>main.tex.latexmain</literal> in the same

- file of the form <literal>*.latexmain</literal>. If such a file is
- found, then it is considered that the current file is part of a larger

- which <literal>&lt;Plug&gt;</literal> mapping
- <literal>&lt;C-j&gt;</literal> is derived from. You will need to look
- at the relevant section of this manual to do this. For example, the
- section <link linkend="customize-imap-maps">IMAP mappings</link> has
- the information that the <literal>&lt;C-j&gt;</literal> key is derived
- from <literal>&lt;Plug&gt;IMAP_JumpForward</literal>. Therefore to
- remap the <literal>&lt;C-j&gt;</literal> key to say

- <note>
- <para>
- To change the <literal>IMAP</literal> mappings which affect jumping

- you can place the <literal>map</literal> statement in your
- <literal>$VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim</literal> file. The reason for this is
