UltiSnips

Hierarchical snippet for Tex lists

Asked by Jonas Diemer

Hi,

I just tried Ultisnips for TeX. I would like to have the following behavior:

I would like to enter

item<tab>One<cr>Two<cr>

and end up with

\begin{itemize}
  \item One
  \item Two
\end{itemize}

Is this possible with Ultisnip? How would I change the default TeX item snippet to work like this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Jonas

Ultisnips does not offer the feature you seek as Vim does have it already. See formatoptions and this SO post might help you get started on the right track:

Thanks for the reply! But I think your answer does not fully match my
question. I am not concerned about aligning the item tags, I don't even
want to type them.

Ideally, ultisnips should know that I am inside the itemize template and
every new line should start with the item tag.

I am used to this behavior from other editors and sort of miss it.
Would ultisnips be able to do that?

Regards
Jonas

I am aware what you want and Vim can do it by defining \item as a comment leader and adding formatoptions+=c . Ultisnips can not help you there. Please google for a solution.
