I sometimes use a Windows 7 laptop and I'm trying to set up Vim and latexsuite. I can compile with
\ll and then go view the PDF by manually opening it. I would like to set it up like I've done with Mac and Ubuntu where
\lv opens the file in the viewer. preferably in sumatra pdf, but only because I hear that it is light weight and refreshes open compile.
I've tried suggestions on Google without luck. Is there something major that I'm missing? I don't typically use Windows. I tried to manually set it to sumatra pdf, also. I don't get errors, I just see the latex viewer call in the menu bar (
:call Tex_ViewLaTeX). Here's my _vimrc:
" general set columns=80 set lines=40 set nu set expandtab set smartindent set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 " for vim-R-plugin2 set nocompatible syntax enable let vimrplugin_conqueplugin = 0 let vimrplugin_conquevsplit = 0 let vimrplugin_vimpager = "no" " for vimlatexsuite (and Vim-R-plugin) " REQUIRED. This makes vim invoke Latex-Suite when you open a tex file. set shellslash filetype plugin on " IMPORTANT: grep will sometimes skip displaying the file name if you " search in a singe file. This will confuse Latex-Suite. Set your grep " program to always generate a file-name. set grepprg=grep\ -nH\ $* " OPTIONAL: This enables automatic indentation as you type. filetype indent on " OPTIONAL: Starting with Vim 7, the filetype of empty .tex files defaults to " 'plaintex' instead of 'tex', which results in vim-latex not being loaded. " The following changes the default filetype back to 'tex': let g:tex_flavor='latex' " to get default compile to pdf let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf' let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats='pdf, aux' " ser pdf viewer (for windows only) " let g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf = 'c:/Program Files\ (x86)/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF'
