I use pathogen as well. See pathogen's documentation:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332

pathogen will put each bundled plugin into your runtimepath. After that:

Use :Helptags to run :helptags on every doc/ directory in your
'runtimepath'.

Works for me.

> This is not true. You can use gh-pages. http://pages.github.com/

That's fine, but it does not justify the extra work it would take to
convert the Vim-LaTeX page into a gh-pages branch and publicize the
change in hosting site. So there is significant cost to a conversion and
very little benefit. Even at a low cost, the latex-suite is primarily in
maintenance mode at this stage in its life. Without a dedicated batch of
new developers who are willing to stick it out for the long run, there's
no way a conversion to a new hosting site could happen. Just switching
LaTeX-suite from SVN to git took a great deal of effort because it was
clear that if there were any problems with the conversion that did not
immediately show up, there might not be devs around to fix them.

You get syntax highlighting for free. It comes with vim. Notice that
there is no "syntax" directory in vim-latex. Without LaTeX suite, you
would get the same highlighting so long as your file type was set correctly.

Indentation comes with Vim-LaTeX, but (IIRC) it does not depend on the
rest of the LaTeX suite. If all you want is the indentation, then all
you need is the "indent/tex.vim" file inside the repo. If your file type
is set correctly, then you'll get the TeX-specific indentation.

As you can see on the list, most of the active LaTeX-suite users use the
extended features, like completion, key mappings, smart compilation,
forward and reverse searching, and the TeX-specific code folding. These
are features that come in handy when composing very large documents
(articles, reports, and books) with many parts distributed over many
files, much like a modern-day program in Java. Those who use LaTeX for
relatively small projects are usually satisfied with the basic support
that comes built into distributions of Vim. So that's why the default
feature set is how it is and why there is not more direct documentation
for how to turn it off (because for most people, those instructions
would simply be "uninstall LaTeX suite").
