I just write it in vim and write a makefile to process it with latex when I type :make, and if there is an error vim jumps to the line with the error.Makefile you say? Is it something that can check when you need to do an extra latex/bibtex to update references, and thus save some processing? Is this makefile something you would be willing to share? Currently I am just using a simple shell script to run it through latex and bibtex a couple of times, make ps/pdf etc.
I find that a makefile is the best way to go, not really from the point of view of running Latex, or whether to do it several times, etc etc. I find it invaluable to be able to make a diagram change in xfig and then type "make papername.lpr" which invokes a virtual target that depends on the ".ps" file and then spits that postscript to the printer.
For example.Doing all the format conversions on embedded figures, recomputing tables that will be included within the document, generating web page versions, synchronizing the paper, the presentation and the handout, ....
these are where having a makefile to remember the dependencies helps. -- Alexander R Perry GE Infrastructure, Security Center of Excellence for Magnetics Group Leader, Advanced Systems T 858 605 5514 F 858 605 5501 E alex.perry@qm.com W http://www.gesecurity.com/ 15175 Innovation Drive San Diego, CA, 92128, USA Quantum Magnetics, Inc
