In order to compile LaTeX files into various formats, Latex-Suite needs to know
which external programs to call and in which way they need to be called.
This information is provided to Latex-Suite via a number of "rules". For each
format you want to compile to, you need to specify a rule. A rule is
specified by defining a variable of the form:
</p><pre class="programlisting">g:Tex_CompileRule_<format></pre><p>
where <code class="literal"><format></code> is a string like
<code class="literal">"pdf"</code>, <code class="literal">"dvi"</code> etc.
</p><p>
Example: By default, Latex-Suite uses the following rule for compiling LaTeX
documents into DVI.
</p><pre class="programlisting">g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex --interaction=nonstopmode $*'</pre><p>
</p><p>
Default values are also provided for ps and pdf formats. You might want to
change these rules in texrc according to your local tex environment.
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
For win32 users user MikTeX, sometimes the latex compiler's output has a
bug where a single number is split across different lines. In this case,
put the included <code class="literal">vim-latex</code> file distributed with Latex-Suite.
