Latex-Suite also provides a way to compile a fragment of a document. This can be
very useful while debugging a complex equation or one chapter in a book,
etc.
</p><p>
To do this, visually select a portion of the text and press
<code class="literal">\ll</code> while in visual mode. The visually selected portion
will be saved to a temporary file with the preamble from the current
document prepended. Latex-Suite will then switch focus to this temporary file and
compile it. Continue to debug this file as required and then replace the
portion of the original file with this one.
</p><p>
Pressing <code class="literal">\lv</code> while viewing the temporary file will
view the output file generated from the temporary file, not the original
file
</p><p>
Two commands |TPartComp| and |TPartView| are provided to be able to get
this functionality via the command line.
</p><p>
From release 1.6 onwards of Latex-Suite, the temporary file created
for part compilation will reside in the same directory as the file from
which the fragment is being created. This ensures that any relative
path-names defined in the fragment will still work. Latex-Suite will
attempt to clean the temporary file(s) created when Vim exits.
