Dear list,
this is the first time for me on this list.
I began to use vim-latex recently, and I like it very much.
I looked on the web for an easy way to switch between latex and pdflatex,
but I couldn't find any suggestion
My standard settings in ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim are the following
"set targets
> let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'dvi'
> let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats = 'dvi'
> let g:Tex_FormatDependency_pdf = 'dvi,ps,pdf'
> "set compilation rules
> let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex -scr-special -synctex=1 $*'
> let g:Tex_CompileRule_ps = 'dvips -Ppdf -o $*.ps $*.dvi'
> let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'ps2pdf $*.ps'
As now, if I want to use pdflatex, I modify the above file
> "set targets
> let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'
> let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats = 'pdf'
> let g:Tex_FormatDependency_pdf = 'pdf'
> "set compilation rules
> let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode $*'
This is very prone to errors if I work on more than a tex file at a time.
I've tried opening a tex file and insert the commands for pdf in the vim
command line (with the idea of save the session) without success [1].
I have found the plugin 'localvimrc' and created a local vimrc file in the
project directory with the pdf specifications, but didn't work as (I think)
the vimrc is loaded before the latex-vim files are.
Is there some way to switch easely between latex and pdflatex or some
mechanism like localvimrc?
An idea could be to put the default settings into ~/.vimrc (with a check
for a tex file) and the pdflatex one in a local vimrc, but to me is not
very neat and I don't know if it would work (if the latex-vim plugin is
loaded after the vimrc the g:Tex_* would be undefined)
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion
Cheers,
Francesco
