description

Description =========== This plugin provides support for specialized lightweight "stay-out-of-your-way" TeX-to-PDF compilation and viewing.  In contrast to some of the other more comprehensive TeX/LaTeX suites, it provides nothing else but two commands, and leaves the rest of your Vim platform undisturbed, except for a few key maps to invoke the commands. Features ========     - Runs "make" if a Makefile is found, otherwise invokes Rubber (if       installed) or pdflatex (otherwise) on the current file.     - Successful builds will result in PDF being opened/refreshed in the       default external viewer.     - Unsuccessful builds will result in the QuickFix buffer being opened and       to list the errors, with line numbers, description etc. Usage ===== Once the plugin is installed (see below), when you have a TeX or LaTeX document open in the buffer, type '\r' or <Shift-F9> to compile the document and open (or refresh) the resulting PDF in your system's default PDF viewer. To just compile the document to PDF without opening it, type '\m' or <F9>.  If there are any compile errors, a window will open and list all the problematic lines. As usual, you can navigate forward and backward through this list using the ':cnext' and ':cprev' commands, and you will automatically be taken to the corresponding line in the source document. Working with Rubber =================== This plugin will work quite happily with the stock TeX/LaTeX tools found on most systems. As described above, for example, this plugin will run "make" if a Makefile is found in the current working directory (by-passing Rubber, even if installed), and fall back to the standard "pdflatex" if Rubber is not installed. However, installation of "Rubber" (https://launchpad.net/rubber) in conjunction with this plugin makes Vim a *very* powerful, yet highly ergonomic and non-intrusive, LaTeX IDE, making Makefiles unneccessary for many document projects. Rubber takes care of the multiple TeX compile passes required to get the the bibliographies, references, cross-references, etc. correctly built, while this plug-in takes care of opening/refreshing the PDF view on successful builds, as well as providing for a *clean* view of the errors on an unsuccessful build. Operation ========= This plugin provides two commands: "BuildAndViewTexPdf" and "BuildTexPdf". "BuildAndViewTexPdf" will build the PDF from the TeX source, and, if successful, will open the resulting PDF for viewing in an external viewer (or refresh the PDF if already opened). "BuildTexPdf" will build the PDF from the TeX source without opening/refreshing the PDF. The build logic is:     (1) If a Makefile is found in the current directory, then "make" will be         invoked.     (2) If there is no Makefile in the current directory, but "Rubber"         (https://launchpad.net/rubber) is installed and available, then this will         invoked on the current buffer file.     (3) If Rubber is not installed, then "pdflatex" will be invoked on the         current buffer file. If the build is unsuccessful, the QuickFix buffer is populated with the (parsed, cleaned, and filtered) error messages and automatically opened, showing, for each error, the line number and description of the error. You can then used ":cnext", ":cprev", etc. to visit each of the error lines. Key Mapping =========== By default, '<Leader>r' (mnemonic: 'run') and '<S-F9>' are mapped to "BuildAndViewTexPdf", while '<Leader>m' (mnemonic: 'make') and '<F9>' are mapped to "BuildTexPdf" If you prefer not to have any of the above keys mapped, then include the following in your '~/.vimrc':     let g:tex_pdf_map_keys = 0 If you prefer not to have the '\r' and '\m' leader keys mapped but keep the function key mapping, you can include the following in your '~/.vimrc':     let g:tex_pdf_map_leader_keys = 0 Alternatively, you can keep the leader keys mapped but by-pass the function key mapping by including the following in your '~/.vimrc':     let g:tex_pdf_map_func_keys = 0 You can, of course, map any keys that you want to the commands. For example, by including the following in your '~/.vimrc', you will map Command-V to the "compile and view" command and Command-T to the "just compile" command in both normal and insert modes:     noremap <silent> <D-V> <Esc>:BuildAndViewTexPdf<CR>     inoremap <silent> <D-V> <Esc>:BuildAndViewTexPdf<CR>     noremap <silent> <D-T> <Esc>:BuildTexPdf<CR>     inoremap <silent> <D-T> <Esc>:BuildTexPdf<CR>
