Menu Comments : insert comments

A lot of the menu entries are defined in a so-called template library. The library defines the menu entries, maps and the inserted text. The personal information can also be configured there.

A file prolog is automatically inserted into each new file (can be switched off):

%%=====================================================================================

%%       Filename:  somedoc.tex

%%    Description:

This prolog is generated from the template shown below. This template file can easily be changed by the user. Tags (like |FILENAME|) are replaced when the template is inserted.

== Comments.file prolog == noindent, start, map:cp, sc:p ==

Menu Math : insert frequently used math-related statements

The menu contains some math environments. In case of equation you will be ask for a label, which is inserted into the statement:

\begin{equation}
  \label{YOUR_LABEL}
  |
\end{equation}

The submenus contain a lot of symbols and other frequently used commands. The menus do not only contain the commands, but also the corresponding symbols, which saves a lot of time used on consulting reference manuals.

(In case the symbols are not displayed correctly, have a look at :help latexsupport-troubleshooting.)

Menu Snippets : insert code snippets and manage templates

The plug-in comes with a facility to extract, manage and insert often used code snippets. Visually select a few lines and use the menu entry write code snippet to write these lines into a file. The code snippet can then be edited and inserted again using read code snippet.

(See :help latexsupport-snippets)

The templates which define the behavior of most of the menu entries are also manage here. Use templates setup wizard to create a personalization file with your personal details for the comments.

The templates support different coding styles. Use the entry choose style to switch between them.

(See :help latexsupport-templates)

Menu Help : call help

Help is quickly accessible through the Help menu. Place the cursor on the name of a package or LaTeX command, such as hyperref, ...

\usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}

then use the entry textdoc or the map  ́ht. Then the plug-in will execute $texdoc hyperref and open the documentation in a browser or PDF viewer.

The same works for any word in the English language. Placing the cursor on a word and hitting  ́he opens a dictionary for the word.
