Most LaTeX compilers produce a very large amount of output during
compilation, most of which is not relevant to debugging type-setting
errors. The compiler plugin provided with Latex-Suite (which is an enhanced
version of the standard compiler plugin maintained by Artem Chuprina),
provides a way to filter the compiler output so that the actual
errors/warnings can be presented much more concisely.
</p><p>
The compiler plugin is set up by default to function in a "non-verbose",
"ignore-common-warnings" mode, which means that irrelevant lines from the
compiler output will be ignored and some very common warnings are also
ignored.
Latex-Suite does this via the global variable <a class="link" href="customizing-compiling.html#Tex_IgnoredWarnings" title="11.6.5 g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings"><code class="literal">g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings</code></a>.
This is a list of patterns, which can be used to filter out (or ignore)
some or the warnings and errors reported by the compiler. See the link
above for its default value.
</p><p>
Latex-Suite uses the <a class="link" href="customizing-compiling.html#Tex_IgnoreLevel" title="11.6.6 g:Tex_IgnoreLevel"><code class="literal">g:Tex_IgnoreLevel</code></a>
setting to set a default ignore level. For example, for the default
value of 4, Latex-Suite ignores warnings and errors matching the first 4
patterns in <code class="literal">g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings</code>.
</p><p>
In addition to setting a default value of the ignore level, Latex-Suite
provides the ability to set the level dynamically, using the
<code class="literal">TCLevel</code> command. For example, if you issue the
command:
</p><pre class="programlisting">TCLevel 3</pre><p>
from within Vim, then the next time you compile the document, Latex-Suite will
ignore warnings and errors which match the first three patterns in
<code class="literal">g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings</code>.
</p><p>
When TCLevel is called with the unquoted string strict as follows:
</p><pre class="programlisting">TClevel strict</pre><p>
then Latex-Suite switches to a "verbose", "no-lines-ignored" mode which is useful
when you want to make final checks of your document and want to be careful
not to let things slip by.
</p><p>
See the explanation of the settings <a class="link" href="customizing-compiling.html#Tex_IgnoredWarnings" title="11.6.5 g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings">g:Tex_IgnoredWarnings</a> and <a class="link" href="customizing-compiling.html#Tex_IgnoreLevel" title="11.6.6 g:Tex_IgnoreLevel">g:Tex_IgnoreLevel</a> to find out how to
customize the filtering done by Latex-Suite
