# vim-latex
## Introduction
There exists several LaTeX plugins for vim, for instance:
- [LaTeX-Suite](http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net):
[vimscript#475](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=475)
- [AutomaticTexPlugin](http://atp-vim.sourceforge.net):
[vimscript#2945](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2945)
- [LaTeX-Box](https://github.com/LaTeX-Box-Team/LaTeX-Box):
[vimscript#3109](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3109)
I have been using both LaTeX-Suite and LaTeX-Box myself, but I found both of
these to be relatively bulky and difficult to manage and extend. LaTeX-Box
was supposed to be simple and lightweight, and I think it was close to being
just that. However, after having worked on it for some time, I felt that much
of the simplicity could be improved by a complete restructuring.
Enter vim-latex, which is a lightweight and simple plugin that provides LaTeX
support for vim. It has most of the functionality of LaTeX-Box, but the idea
is to combine vim-latex with the strength of other plugins. I personally
recommend [UltiSnips](https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips) for snippets and
[neocomplete](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplete.vim) for completion.
Note that vim-latex should not be confused with LaTeX-Suite, which is also to
some extent known as vim-latex. The present plugin is not related to
LaTeX-Suite in any way.
Read the documentation for a more thorough introduction.
## Installation
### With gmarik vundle
_https://github.com/gmarik/vundle_
Add `Plugin 'lervag/vim-latex'` to your ~/.vimrc and run
`:PluginInstall` in a vim buffer. Add `!` to the command to update.
### With neobundle
_https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim_
Add `NeoBundle 'lervag/vim-latex'` to your ~/.vimrc and run
`:NeoBundleInstall` in a vim buffer. Add `!` to the command to update.
### With pathogen
_https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen_
Add the vim-latex bundle to your bundle directory, for instance with `git
clone`. This will typically be enough:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/lervag/vim-latex
### Without a plugin manager
Copy the directories to your `.vim/` folder.
