If you are using a modern DVI viewer, then it is possible to do what
is called forward and inverse searching. However, you will need to
customize the standard Latex-Suite distribution in order to utilize
this functionality. Type in the following on the command line:
</p><pre class="programlisting">:let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex -src-specials -interaction=nonstopmode $*'
:TCTarget dvi</pre><p>
Now recompile the latex file by pressing <code class="literal">\ll</code>.
This time, instead of pressing <code class="literal">\lv</code> to view the
file, press <code class="literal">\ls</code> from within the tex file. If the
DVI viewer supports forward searching (most of them do), then the
viewer will actually display the portion of the DVI file
corresponding to the location where you were editing the tex file.
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
The reason Latex-Suite does not have this setting by default is
that on some systems this causes unpredictable results in the DVI
output. If you find the DVI output satisfactory, then you can
insert the first of the 2 lines above into your
<code class="literal">$VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim</code> file.
<code class="literal">$VIM</code> is <code class="literal">~/vimfiles</code> for
windows and <code class="literal">~/.vim</code> for *nix machines.
