How to make Vim LaTeX Suite show errors when compile

Question

Compiling TeX with command

: silent call Tex_RunLaTeX()

The gvim window turns grey when there are errors. One needs to press Enter for each error to continue.

It will be better if the error messages show up in the process as in the console output. Can I configure the latex-suite to achieve that?

Answer 1

Use in your .vimrc something like

filetype plugin on
filetype indent on
let g:tex_flavor='latex'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error-style $*'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error-style $*'

You can compile by typing \ll in normal mode, which is much faster than using the command mode.
