| Exuberant ctags is a program to generate tags for Fortran and other programming languages. Vim understands these tags and you can use them to navigate your code. The official ctags (v5.5.4) does not support LaTeX or BIBTeX. Therefore I offer: | ||||
| ec554_latex_bibtex: A ctags Win32 binary with LaTeX and BIBTeX support added. | ||||
| ec554src_latex_bibtex.zip Changes to the source code of exuberant ctags v5.5.4 to add LaTeX and BIBTeX support. This works with the free Borland compiler. | ||||
| If you want to use the LaTeX and/or BIBTeX tags generated by
this modified version of exuberant ctags with the taglist plugin script
mentioned below, put the following lines in your vimrc: let tlist_tex_settings='latex;b:bibitem;c:command;e:environment;l:label' let tlist_bib_settings='bibtex;a:article;b:book;m:misc;p:part;s:string;t:thesis' |
