Is it possible to set up TeXshop to pipe the output through a converter
program to automatically output each page of the pdf (or postscript or
dvi) file as a jpeg file? I want to post the pages as graphics on web
pages.
Thanks, Graham Niblo

In MacOS X, these are both rather powerful arguments IMHO.

Don't know the answer to your question (suspect it is possible
though) but another solution would be to use Create.

Hello,
With pdf{e}tex you can make interactive documents. ConTeXt is a nice
package that allows for easy construction of well-structured interactive
documents, as well as, standard "screen" documents. Which of the
*standard* packages do you find not working using pdftex? Maybe we could
make a list and an available analog for pdftex. Most of the packages
I've used with latex have worked with pdftex [using ConTeXt].

The talk about graphics and LaTeX reminded me of something I meant to
send last week. For people interested in an easy to use presentation
package this is the link to Marslide.
http://www.cds.caltech.edu/WARM/slides/marslide/v1/
One of the authors responded to my plea for help with seminar and
graphicxs a few weeks ago and told me about Marslide.
It is a beta version but I had no problems using it to make a
presentation a few weeks ago - I printed slides on paper for reference
and used Acrobat Reader for the presentation. There are templates and
you can customize them. You can also use hyperlinks, put in movies and
background images as well as easily wrap text around figures. There are
also lists already set up with formattinp. It works with both LaTeX and
pdfLaTeX letting you use eps or pdf graphics. The templates have good
documentation but here is an article about it with helpful info.

Hi. I'm working with a user who is an expert vi user. It's the only
editor that she uses on Mac OS X. She uses TexShop to preview Tex
documents. The problem is that when she makes changes in vi, TexShop
doesn't recognize the change, unless she closes the document and
re-opens it.
Obviously, if you are in the process of creating a document, you
don't want to have to open it 30 times. It would be nice if TexShop
checked if the file's been modified since it was last typeset and got
the latest version of the file if it's been modified when you ask it
to typeset.
Is there a way to have TexShop notice when the file's been updated in
vi, so the user doesn't have to keep re-opening it?
Is there any editor for the Mac that a vi user would love?
Another complaint is that TexShop crashes when the Tex document
contains more than a few errors. Have other people experienced this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
