Bug#408416: \cite completion very brittle

[martin f krafft]

Package: vim-latexsuite
Version: 20060325-2
Severity: normal

I have a folder ~/uni containing biblio.bib, my central BibTeX file.

I also have a folder ~/uni/paper1 and ~/uni/paper1/content
. ~/uni/paper1/main.tex is the .latexmain file and contains
\bibliography{../biblio} to reference my global .bib file.

If I edit ~/uni/paper1/content/results.tex and try ti use \cite{}
completion, nothing happens.

To get cite completion to work, I had to:

  - symlink ../biblio.tex to ~/uni/paper1
  - use \bibliography{biblio} (instead of ../biblio)
  - add let g:Tex_BIBINPUTS = '/home/madduck/ul'
    to ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex/texrc (using ~ instead of /home/madduck
    does *not* work)

I don't see why I have to do all this. If latexsuite's cite
completion cannot handle ../biblio, then the symlink should fix
that. I don't know why I also need to set g:Tex_BIBINPUTS as well.
