[Tex/LaTex] \cite{} autocompletion in VIM in non tex file

bibtexmarkdownvimvim-latex

I'm moving my workflow from LaTeX to Asciidoc + Asciidoc-bib. I would like to have the vim-latex reference autocompletion working for non-.tex files, in my case for .txt files. So when I add some clues to \cite{} and do control-x control-o it shows me the available citations for some BibTeX file.

The only way I can think of doing this is by extracting the functions from the vim-latex suite and creating a new script, unfortunately my knowledge of vimscript is not great.

I've read about doing:

:set filetype=tex

but I'm afraid I will import all of vim-latex behaviour which I would like to avoid. Maybe if there is a way to disable (almost) all of vim-latex except the \cite{ autocompletion it would be fine.

There is now a plugin to complete citation tags for asciidoc documents. vim-autocite

If I understand you correctly, you have tried make and not make install.

The Makefile is written such that make downloads the newest snapshot with SVN, and make install installs it. Try make install instead!

I would have written suggestion as a comment, but I do not have enough reputation.

[Tex/LaTex] How to dynamically change the output filename in Vim LaTeX Suite

I know this is an old question but I ran into the same problem as the OP and had to solve it.

As a note to other users: the OP's "current solution" does not work well because latex-suite checks the aux and bbl files with the same name as the tex file to see if it needs to run bibtex or recompile the pdf; it won't find them, since the command used also names these files according to the jobname. Hence it never runs multiple compilations to get the bib.

That said, I found no easy solution so here is a shell script I use as the new compile rule (e.g. named tex2pdf):

#!/bin/bash

# Get the passed file name
fullName=$1

# Cut of the extension
filename="${fullName%.*}"

# Get the name of the current dir
dirName="${PWD##*/}"

# The usual command
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode ${fullName}

# Rename the pdf
if [ -e ${fileName}.pdf ]
  then
    mv ${filename}.pdf ${dirName}.pdf
fi

Then use this as the compile rule:

let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf='tex2pdf $*'
