Feature Request: local tex and bib engines #111

Allow to specify tex engine locally with: % !TeX program = ... which is also supported by Texworks

and additionally also the bib engine with something like % !Tex bib =

In my opinion it would be more comfortable that changing vim global variables

Hi @CantoroMC ! That seems to be a really good idea, thanks ! I'll set a label here for now so that the issue gets some traction, and hopefully I can free some time to look into it

Thanks for the positive feedback. I find this plugin really good, it runs smoothly and have a very important, in my opinion, characteristic for a vim plugin, it does just one thing. Another thing that can maybe improve the plugin is adding autoload functionalities, but i have no experience in vim plugin written in python. Anyway for a vimL plugin, the only thing to do is to move all the function that are not part of the user's interface into the autoload directory and rename them accordingly.

That would be perfect!
