7.1 Forward Searching DVI documents

Forward searching refers to making a DVI viewer display a given document at a given location from within Vim. At present, this functionality is supported for YAP on windows and xdvi on *nix machines. Pressing \ls from within Vim should make the DVI viewer display the portion of the document where your cursor is placed.

Enabling Forward and Inverse Searching

Most DVI viewers need "source-special" information in order to do forward (and inverse) searching. This information is embedded in the dvi file if the LaTeX source is compiled with the --src-specials option. By default, Latex-Suite does not supply this argument to the compiler. See the section on g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi to find out how this option can be set.
