Hello. ## General question
How you can manually load a particular package from Vim-LaTeX in Vim and how it can be automated for every LaTeX file? _I am not interested in copying relevant parts from scripts of particular package to `.vimrc` as a workaround._ ## Specific problem This is just a supplementary part to explain how solving such problem may be useful. ### Short reminder In [The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX 2ε](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf) you can read that: > A tilde ‘~’ character generates a space that cannot be enlarged and > additionally prohibits a line break. In Polish we should not leave short conjunctions at the end of line. `~` is helpful here, but writing it after conjunctions is cumbersome (and spoils the typing flow, and you can just forget about it sometimes). [Vim-LaTeX](http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/) (`vim-latexsuite` package in debian; _I am using version 20100129-2 in squeeze, just in case_) provides per package additional customization. For Polish texts we use package [polski](http://ctan.org/pkg/polski) in LaTeX and its Vim-LaTeX counterpart modifies space, so it automatically replaces space with tilde after short words. ### Issue For larger LaTeX documents splitting text between many files is a common practice. And here comes the problem with package detection in Vim-LaTeX. If I open the main `.tex` file (i.e. the one including other `.tex` files), where `\usepackage{polski}` is present, then space substitution works fine. It's not the file where you are writing much, thus it's not really useful here. But if I open any other `.tex` file (which is included by the main `.tex` file), which obviously does not have preamble (thereby there is no `\usepackage{polski}` in it), package detection fails, therefore space substitution is not working here. ### Partial solution I have figured out some partial flawed solution. au FileType tex call Tex_pack_one('polski') It's bad because it doesn't work if you open another `.tex` file in new window (via `:sp` or `:vs` for instance), even if this file have `\usepackage{polski}` (so it's a regression). **Simple testing.** Go to insert mode and write `i i i`. You should see `i~i~i`. Open full LaTeX document (with preamble and `\usepackage{polski}`) in new window. Repeat the test there. Open third LaTeX document (w/o preamble) and repeat the test again. Regards. P.S. Question has been asked before at SU: http://superuser.com/questions/284491/manually-loading-package-from-vim-latex-in-vim-because-auto-detection-is-not-alw, but there is no sign of upcoming answer, so I've ended in here as rather more appropriate place for such kind of question. If you're by chance also registered at SU, don't hesitate to cross-answer there. -- Przemysław 'Przemoc' Pawełczyk http://przemoc.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
