VIM-latex plugin

Post by parekhharsh_j »

I am new to LATEX.I would like to use bibtex for my bibliography. However I am working on windows and not fond of using commands as it is not efficient.
pdflatex *.tex
bibtex *.aux
pdflatex *.tex
pdflatex *.tex

I read it in wikibooks http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Bibl ... Management
that I can use VIM-Latex plugin to overcome above problem.
Now, my question is
(1) Is VIM-Latex editor like TexmakerX?
(2) Or is it a plugin with TexmakerX and I can still compile and use TexmakerX?
Thanks in advance

VIM-latex plugin

Vim-LaTeX is a plugin for an editor called Vim. Vim is a very powerful modal text editor, based on the classic unix editor vi. It has nothing to do with TeXMakerX/TeXstudio. I love vim, but I don't actually use the Vim-LaTeX plugin. (I wrote my own instead.) Vim has a large learning curve, however.

I'm sure there's a way to configure TeXMakerX/TeXstudio so that it calls BibTeX for you. I don't have it installed right now, so I'll let someone else give advice on that.

If you read in above wiki page Why won't LaTeX generate any output?
it says that LATEX needs multiple passes to accomplish the task in order to read the file from different source.
I am really not keen on learning vim now due to shortage of time.
However I'll be waiting for someone's advice if TexmakerX could be configured.
Thanks
