Assume that we are writing a mathematical paper and we want to use the
popular amsmath package. We will use some functionality which
Latex-Suite provides specifically for including LaTeX packages,
providing options etc. Navigate to before the
<code class="literal">\begin{document}</code> line (The portion of the document
before the <code class="literal">\begin{document}</code> is called the
<span class="emphasis"><em>preamble</em></span> in LaTeX). On an empty line in the
preamble, type the single word <code class="literal">amsmath</code> and then press
<code class="literal"><F5></code> in normal mode. The line will change to
</p><pre class="programlisting">\usepackage[]{amsmath}<++></pre><p>
with the cursor positioned conveniently between the
<code class="literal">[]</code>'s. For now, do not worry about the trailing
<code class="literal"><++></code> at the end of this line. Assume we want to
provide the <code class="literal">sumlimits</code> options to amsmath. You can
either type in this option manually, or choose from a menu of package
options which Latex-Suite automatically creates when you insert a
package using <code class="literal"><F5></code>. With the cursor still
placed between the <code class="literal">[]</code>, goto <code class="literal">TeX-Suite >
Packages > amsmath Options</code>. Choose the
<code class="literal">sumlimits</code> option. The package line should get
converted to:
</p><pre class="programlisting">\usepackage[sumlimits,]{amsmath}<++></pre><p>
</p><p>
with the cursor before <code class="literal">]</code>. Press
<code class="literal"><C-j></code> in insert mode. You will see the cursor
jump to the end of the package line and the trailing
<code class="literal"><++></code> will disappear. What just happened?! You had
your first taste of <span class="emphasis"><em>Placeholders</em></span>. Read more about
them (later) <a class="ulink" href="http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/latex-macros.html" target="_top">here</a>.
In short, pressing <code class="literal"><C-j></code> in insert mode takes
you to the next <code class="literal"><++></code> in the text.
