This functionality available via the TeX-Suite.Macros menu, provides
a way of inserting customized macros into the current file via the
menu.
</p><p>
When Latex-Suite starts up, it scans the
<code class="literal">$VIM/ftplugin/latex-suite/macros/</code> directory and
creates a menu from the files found there. Each file is considered as
a single macro. You can place your own macros in this directory,
using <a class="link" href="latex-macros.html#place-holders" title="Place Holders">placeholders</a> if wanted.
</p><p>
When you choose a macro from the menu, the corresponding file is read
into the current buffer after the current cursor position. In non-gui
mode, you can use the |TMacro| command instead of choosing from the
menu. This command takes the macro file name as an argument. When
called without arguments (preferred usage), then a list of available
macro files is displayed and the user is prompted to choose one of
them).
</p><p>
There are some other tools provided in this menu, namely:
</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="0"><colgroup><col width="0.5in"></col><col width="0.5in"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>{New}</td><td>
Creates a new (unnamed) buffer in the
latex-suite/macros/ directory. Use the command
:TexMacroNew in non-gui mode.
</td></tr><tr><td>{Edit}</td><td>
Opens up the corresponding macro file for editing. Use
|:TexMacroEdit| in non-gui mode. When you try to edit {macro}
not from local directory Latex-Suite will copy it to your local
directory with suffix "-local". If local copy already exists
Latex-Suite prompt for overwriting it.
</td></tr><tr><td>{Delete}</td><td>
Deletes the corresponding macro. Use the prefixed numbers for
fast navigation of menus. Use |:TexMacroDelete| in non-gui mode.
When you choose to delete {macro} which is not in your local
directory Latex-Suite will refuse to delete it.
</td></tr><tr><td>{Redraw}</td><td>
Rescans the macros/ directories and refreshes the macros list.
