Awesome
LaTeX-BoX
This plugin provides:
- Background compilation using latexmk.
- Completion for commands, environments, labels, bibtex entries, and inline maths.
- A simple table of contents improving the navigation of large files.
- Smart indentation.
- Highlight matching \begin/\end and \left\right pairs.
- Motion between \begin/\end and \left\right pairs with the % key.
- Motion through brackets/braces (with user-defined keys).
- Environment objects (e.g., select environement with "vie" or "vae").
- Inline math objects (e.g., select inline math with "vi$" or "va$").
- Folding of parts (part/chapter/section/etc) and environments.
- OmniCompletion for bibliography entries respects BibLaTeX's
\addbibresource
,\addglobalbib
and\addsectionbib
commands. - The table of contents functionality does not depend anymore on the assumption
that
\@writefile{toc}{\contentsline ...}
entries in the*.aux
file always occur at the start of some line. - Completion of
\ref{...}
commands was completely rewritten. It is now able to handle\@newlabel{label}{{number}{page}...}
entries in the*.aux
file even ifnumber
orpage
contain arbitrary nested levels of braces. Labels are additionally held in a cache per*.aux
file, which is updated only if the modification time of the file changes. - The table of contents now opens files different from the one currently being edited in a new buffer. (I actually think, that this behaviour was implemented already, but I could not get it working.) To make this work, LaTeX-Box is not loaded per buffer but globally.
This plugins aims at being lightweight and simple. For more fully-fledged plugins, see:

Installation
With gmarik vundle
https://github.com/gmarik/vundle
Add Plugin 'LaTeX-Box-Team/LaTeX-Box'
to your ~/.vimrc and run
:PluginInstall
in a vim buffer. Add !
to the command to update.
With pathogen
https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen
Add the LaTeX-Box bundle to your bundle directory, for instance with git clone
. This will typically be enough:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/LaTeX-Box-Team/LaTeX-Box.git
Without a plugin manager
Copy the directories to your .vim/
folder.
Windows users
Users working with (g)vim on Windows must have a Perl environment installed. Such an environment can be downloaded at : http://strawberryperl.com/
Installation Notes
Make sure filetype plugin on
is set in host .vimrc
, else LaTeX-Box
will not load.
Note that there are configurable global variables that can be put in the
.vimrc
. These are documented, but as an example, one can have the
table of contents open as a horizontal split by utilizing this:
~/.vimrc
...
if s:extfname ==? "tex"
...
let g:LatexBox_split_type="new"
...
endif
