vimtex is a [vim](http://www.vim.org/) plugin that provides support for writing LaTeX documents. The
main features are:
## Features

2. Completion of citations and labels
3. A Convenient table of contents
4. Control over pdf viewers with forward search for several different viewers
5. Some vim motions and mappings
Below is a list of features offered by vimtex. The features are accessible as
both commands and mappings. The mappings generally start with
`<localleader>l`, but if desired one can disable default mappings to define
custom mappings. All features are enabled by default, but each feature may be
disabled if desired.

following line to your `vimrc` file:
Add `Plugin 'lervag/vimtex'` to your ~/.vimrc and run
`:PluginInstall` in a vim buffer. Add `!` to the command to update.
```vim
Plug 'lervag/vimtex'
```
### With neobundle
_https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim_
Add `NeoBundle 'lervag/vimtex'` to your ~/.vimrc and run
`:NeoBundleInstall` in a vim buffer. Add `!` to the command to update.
### With pathogen
