3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	27 Vim has a special mode to speedup the edit-compile-edit cycle. This is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	28 inspired by the quickfix option of the Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	29 The idea is to save the error messages from the compiler in a file and use Vim
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	30 to jump to the errors one by one. You can examine each problem and fix it,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	31 without having to remember all the error messages.

170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	33 In Vim the quickfix commands are used more generally to find a list of
8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	34 positions in files. For example, \|:vimgrep\| finds pattern matches. You can
231 8eec9649b7a2 updated for version 7.0064 vimboss parents: 170 diff changeset	35 use the positions in a script with the \|getqflist()\| function. Thus you can
170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	36 do a lot more than the edit/compile/fix cycle!

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	561 quickfix window. If there already is a window for that file, it is used

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	568 When the quickfix window has been filled, two autocommand events are
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	569 triggered. First the 'filetype' option is set to "qf", which triggers the
651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	570 FileType event. Then the BufReadPost event is triggered, using "quickfix" for
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	571 the buffer name. This can be used to perform some action on the listed
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	572 errors. Example: >

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	576 This prepends the line number to each line. Note the use of "\=" in the

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	578 expression.
651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	579 The BufWinEnter event is also triggered, again using "quickfix" for the buffer
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	580 name.

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	585 Note: Making changes in the quickfix window has no effect on the list of
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	586 errors. 'modifiable' is off to avoid making changes. If you delete or insert
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	587 lines anyway, the relation between the text and the error number is messed up.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	588 If you really want to do this, you could write the contents of the quickfix
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	589 window to a file and use ":cfile" to have it parsed and used as the new error

648 9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	593 The location list window displays the entries in a location list. When you
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	594 open a location list window, it is created below the current window and
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	595 displays the location list for the current window. The location list window
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	596 is similar to the quickfix window, except that you can have more than one
651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	597 location list window open at a time. When you use a location list command in
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	598 this window, the displayed location list is used.

9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	600 When you select a file from the location list window, the following steps are
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	601 used to find a window to edit the file:
644 e4fa26ce8769 updated for version 7.0187 vimboss parents: 626 diff changeset	602
648 9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	603 1. If a window with the location list displayed in the location list window is
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	604 present, then the file is opened in that window.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	605 2. If the above step fails and if the file is already opened in another
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	606 window, then that window is used.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	607 3. If the above step fails then an existing window showing a buffer with
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	608 'buftype' not set is used.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	609 4. If the above step fails, then the file is edited in a new window.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	610
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	611 In all of the above cases, if the location list for the selected window is not
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	612 yet set, then it is set to the location list displayed in the location list

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	819 This is done by passing the command to the shell given with the 'shell'
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	820 option. This works almost like typing

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	825 used, not just "make". Characters '%' and '#' are expanded as usual on a

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	828 example: >

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	831 [arguments] is anything that is typed after ":make".
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	832 {shellpipe} is the 'shellpipe' option.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	833 {errorfile} is the 'makeef' option, with ## replaced to make it unique.

2072 4a1bcdd9ea55 Updated runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <bram@zimbu.org> parents: 2033 diff changeset	835 The placeholder "$*" can be used for the argument list in {makeprg} if the
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	836 command needs some additional characters after its arguments. The $* is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	837 replaced then by all arguments. Example: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	838 :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*}
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	839 or simpler >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	840 :let &mp = 'latex \\nonstopmode \\input\{$*}'
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	841 "$*" can be given multiple times, for example: >

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	844 The 'shellpipe' option defaults to ">" for the Amiga, MS-DOS and Win32. This
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	845 means that the output of the compiler is saved in a file and not shown on the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	846 screen directly. For Unix "\| tee" is used. The compiler output is shown on
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	847 the screen and saved in a file the same time. Depending on the shell used
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	848 "\|& tee" or "2>&1\| tee" is the default, so stderr output will be included.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	849
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	850 If 'shellpipe' is empty, the {errorfile} part will be omitted. This is useful
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	851 for compilers that write to an errorfile themselves (e.g., Manx's Amiga C).

f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	876 Vim has two ways to find matches for a pattern: Internal and external. The
f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	877 advantage of the internal grep is that it works on all systems and uses the
f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	878 powerful Vim search patterns. An external grep program can be used when the
f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	879 Vim grep does not do what you want.

43 f55897d6921d updated for version 7.0026 vimboss parents: 41 diff changeset	881 The internal method will be slower, because files are read into memory. The
f55897d6921d updated for version 7.0026 vimboss parents: 41 diff changeset	882 advantages are:
f55897d6921d updated for version 7.0026 vimboss parents: 41 diff changeset	883 - Line separators and encoding are automatically recognized, as if a file is
f55897d6921d updated for version 7.0026 vimboss parents: 41 diff changeset	884 being edited.
f55897d6921d updated for version 7.0026 vimboss parents: 41 diff changeset	885 - Uses Vim search patterns. Multi-line patterns can be used.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1032
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1033 By default, :grep invokes grep with the -n option (show file and line
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1034 numbers). You can change this with the 'grepprg' option. You will need to set

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1038 b) You have to call grep with a full path
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1039 c) You want to pass other options automatically (e.g. case insensitive
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1040 search.)

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1042 Once "grep" has executed, Vim parses the results using the 'grepformat'
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1043 option. This option works in the same way as the 'errorformat' option - see
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1044 that for details. You may need to change 'grepformat' from the default if
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1045 your grep outputs in a non-standard format, or you are using some other
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1046 program with a special format.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1078 need to change that one too. Thus you use: >

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1145 To use Vim with Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga you should do the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1146 following:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1147 - Set the CCEDIT environment variable with the command: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1148 mset "CCEDIT=vim -q"
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1149 - Compile with the -qf option. If the compiler finds any errors, Vim is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1150 started and the cursor is positioned on the first error. The error message
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1151 will be displayed on the last line. You can go to other errors with the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1152 commands mentioned above. You can fix the errors and write the file(s).
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1153 - If you exit Vim normally the compiler will re-compile the same file. If you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1154 exit with the :cq command, the compiler will terminate. Do this if you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1155 cannot fix the error, or if another file needs to be compiled first.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1156
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1157 There are some restrictions to the Quickfix mode on the Amiga. The
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1158 compiler only writes the first 25 errors to the errorfile (Manx's
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1159 documentation does not say how to get more). If you want to find the others,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1160 you will have to fix a few errors and exit the editor. After recompiling,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1161 up to 25 remaining errors will be found.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1162
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1163 If Vim was started from the compiler, the :sh and some :! commands will not
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1164 work, because Vim is then running in the same process as the compiler and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1165 stdin (standard input) will not be interactive.

73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1184 starting from version 2.0. For older versions, you can get it from

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1187 When you run your tests with the help of the framework, possible errors
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1188 are parsed by Vim and presented for you in quick-fix mode.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1201 Included in the distribution compiler for TeX ($VIMRUNTIME/compiler/tex.vim)
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1202 uses make command if possible. If the compiler finds a file named "Makefile"
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1203 or "makefile" in the current directory, it supposes that you want to process
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1204 your *TeX files with make, and the makefile does the right work. In this case
73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1205 compiler sets 'errorformat' for *TeX output and leaves 'makeprg' untouched. If
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1206 neither "Makefile" nor "makefile" is found, the compiler will not use make.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1207 You can force the compiler to ignore makefiles by defining
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1208 b:tex_ignore_makefile or g:tex_ignore_makefile variable (they are checked for
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1209 existence only).

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1211 If the compiler chose not to use make, it need to choose a right program for
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1212 processing your input. If b:tex_flavor or g:tex_flavor (in this precedence)
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1213 variable exists, it defines TeX flavor for :make (actually, this is the name
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1214 of executed command), and if both variables do not exist, it defaults to
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1215 "latex". For example, while editing chapter2.tex \input-ed from mypaper.tex

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1226 semantics of make, where you specify a target, not source, but you may specify
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1227 filename without extension ".tex" and mean this as "make filename.dvi or

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1248 First, you need to know how scanf works. Look in the documentation of your

237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1455 can be used to match several patterns in the same line. Thus it is possible
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1456 to parse even nested files like in the following line:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1457 {"file1" {"file2" error1} error2 {"file3" error3 {"file4" error4 error5}}}
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1458 The %O then parses over strings that do not contain any push/pop file name
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1459 information. See \|errorformat-LaTeX\| for an extended example.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1478 The scanf()-like "%*[]" notation is supported for backward-compatibility
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1479 with previous versions of Vim. However, it is also possible to specify
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1480 (nearly) any Vim supported regular expression in format strings.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1481 Since meta characters of the regular expression language can be part of
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1482 ordinary matching strings or file names (and therefore internally have to
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1483 be escaped), meta symbols have to be written with leading '%':
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1484 %\ The single '\' character. Note that this has to be
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1485 escaped ("%\\") in ":set errorformat=" definitions.
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1486 %. The single '.' character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1487 %# The single '*'(!) character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1488 %^ The single '^' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1489 useful, the pattern already matches start of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1490 %$ The single '$' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1491 useful, the pattern already matches end of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1492 %[ The single '[' character for a [] character range.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1493 %~ The single '~' character.
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1494 When using character classes in expressions (see \|/\i\| for an overview),
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1495 terms containing the "\+" quantifier can be written in the scanf() "%*"
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1496 notation. Example: "%\\d%\\+" ("\d\+", "any number") is equivalent to "%*\\d".
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1497 Important note: The $...$ grouping of sub-matches can not be used in format

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1503 To be able to detect output from several compilers, several format patterns
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1504 may be put in 'errorformat', separated by commas (note: blanks after the comma
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1505 are ignored). The first pattern that has a complete match is used. If no
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1506 match is found, matching parts from the last one will be used, although the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1507 file name is removed and the error message is set to the whole message. If
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1508 there is a pattern that may match output from several compilers (but not in a
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1509 right way), put it after one that is more restrictive.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1511 To include a comma in a pattern precede it with a backslash (you have to type
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1512 two in a ":set" command). To include a backslash itself give two backslashes
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1513 (you have to type four in a ":set" command). You also need to put a backslash
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1514 before a space for ":set".

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1521 These lines are skipped with the ":cn" and ":cp" commands (unless there is

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1569 If you have a compiler that produces error messages that do not fit in the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1570 format string, you could write a program that translates the error messages
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1571 into this format. You can use this program with the ":make" command by
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1572 changing the 'makeprg' option. For example: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1573 :set mp=make\ \\\\|&\ error_filter
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1574 The backslashes before the pipe character are required to avoid it to be
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1575 recognized as a command separator. The backslash before each space is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1576 required for the set command.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1816 Note that in some cases file names in the LaTeX output log cannot be parsed
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1817 properly. The parser might have been messed up by unbalanced parentheses
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1818 then. The above example tries to catch the most relevant cases only.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1819 You can customize the given setting to suit your own purposes, for example,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1820 all the annoying "Overfull ..." warnings could be excluded from being
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1821 recognized as an error.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1822 Alternatively to filtering the LaTeX compiler output, it is also possible
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1823 to directly read the *.log file that is produced by the [La]TeX compiler.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1824 This contains even more useful information about possible error causes.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1825 However, to properly parse such a complex file, an external filter should
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1826 be used. See the description further above how to make such a filter known
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1827 by Vim.
