7 Latex Viewing and Searching

7.1 Forward Searching DVI documents
7.2 Inverse Searching

If you are usingly commonly used LaTeX tools to view output files, then you should be able to view compiled files from within Vim by simply pressing \lv.

Note

The viewing function also takes the *.latexmain file into account to decide which file to show.

If pressing \lv does not work, then it most probably has to do with incorrect settings of the g:Tex_ViewRule_<format> where <format> is the format you are attempting to view. See the link above for how to set this according to your system.

In addition to viewing the files, Latex-Suite also supports forward and inverse searching for certain common tools for viewiing DVI documents. At the moment, there is built-in support for YAP on windows (which ships with MikTeX), and the popular xdvi on *nix platforms. See the next few sections for details on forward and inverse searching.
