(I do not use LaTeX-Box any more. Just to keep a clone of the inline maths completion feature that I develped during my PhD.)

LaTeX-BoX

LaTeX-BoX

This plugin provides:

  • Background compilation using latexmk.
  • Completion for commands, environments, labels, bibtex entries, and inline maths.
  • A simple table of contents.
  • Smart indentation.
  • Highlight matching \begin/\end and \left\right pairs.
  • Motion between \begin/\end and \left\right pairs with the % key.
  • Motion through brackets/braces (with user-defined keys).
  • Environment objects (e.g., select environement with "vie" or "vae").
  • Inline math objects (e.g., select inline math with "vi$" or "va$").
  • Folding of parts (part/chapter/section/etc) and environments.
  • OmniCompletion for bibliography entries respects BibLaTeX's \addbibresource, \addglobalbib and \addsectionbib commands.
  • The table of contents functionality does not depend anymore on the assumption that \@writefile{toc}{\contentsline ...} entries in the *.aux file always occur at the start of some line.
  • Completion of \ref{...} commands was completely rewritten. It is now able to handle \@newlabel{label}{{number}{page}...} entries in the *.aux file even if number or page contain arbitrary nested levels of braces. Labels are additionally held in a cache per *.aux file, which is updated only if the modification time of the file changes.
  • The table of contents now opens files different from the one currently being edited in a new buffer. (I actually think, that this behaviour was implemented already, but I could not get it working.) To make this work, LaTeX-Box is not loaded per buffer but globally.

This plugins aims at being lightweight and simple. For more fully-fledged plugins, see:
