# 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.
