Vim-latex Incorrectly Expanding Environment

Question

I just began using vim-latex and started with their tutorial.

Following the instructions on this page, I type eqnarray followed by F5, but instead of getting the described

\begin{eqnarray}
   \label{}<++>
\end{eqnarray}<++>

I get

\begin{eqnarray}

  \label{<++>}
\end{eqnarray}<++>

This is my complete file:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[sumlimits,]{amsmath}
\begin{document}

\begin{eqnarray}

  \label{<++>}
\end{eqnarray}<++>

\end{document}

Is this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I think this is the expected behaviour in vim-latexsuite and it may just be a bug in the quickstart tutorial.

If you want to change to get this

\begin{eqnarray}
   \label{}<++>
\end{eqnarray}<++>

with the cursor in between the label brackets, you can define the following variable and then type eqnarray followed by F5.

let g:Tex_Env_eqnarray = "\\begin{eqnarray}\<CR>\label{<++>}<++>\<CR>\\end{eqnarray}"

This should work also for other environments like align using instead the Tex_Env_align variable.
