Others ⇒ How to automatically include nomenclatures in Vim-Latex

[Joseph]

Hi guys,

I am using Vim-Latex as an editor and have a curiosity on how to enable the automatic inclusion of the nomenclatures I have defined in a file test.tex, by simply running \ll.
Right now, after running \ll I have to explicitly write (as explained in https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27292 ) the following colon command in vim:

:! makeindex test.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o test.nls

After that, another \ll creates the pdf file with correct nomenclatures.

So it all works fine, except that....
on the page http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/docume ... tiple.html it is written that setting the option

let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats='pdf'

in your .vimrc file should make .bib and .idx files be properly treated with. (My pdf compiler is pdftex). Indeed, I tested it with bibtex, and simply running \ll once makes the pdftex -> bibtex -> pdftex chain be executed and creates a correct bibliography in the pdf.
After running \ll on my test.tex, a test.nlo file is created, but the resulting pdf does not show the nomenclatures. I wonder whether it is strange that setting the option above does not properly handle this .nlo file by calling makeindex in a proper way, as it is supposedly able to do with .idx files. Also, can modifying the .vimrc file in some way resolve this issue?

PS I am new to this forum, great platform!
PPS So this is my first post, feel free to comment on the contents and relevance it for future improvements.

Thanks for the help!

I am a user of vim for years, but never used vim-latex. I just do :! latexmk -pdf %, which is much faster if you have typed it before and you can just use the arrow key.

Hi Johannes_B,

Thanks for the suggestion. I never tried latexmk but will give it a try!

What do you mean with 'you can just use the arrow key'?

[Johannes_B]

I just type :! l and use the arrow-up key to get to the last command i used.
