Folks,
TeXShop 1.21 is available at
http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop
One purpose of this release is to switch to Gerben Wierda's wonderful
installer and related distribution of TeX, and make a TeXShop
preference compatible with the distribution.
TeXShop 1.21 attempts to fix the syntax coloring slowdown
in Jaguar. An explanation may be helpful here. When a document is first
opened, TeXShop must syntax color everything. This can be done in two
ways: the document can be colored before its window opens, or the window
can be opened and then the syntax coloring can be applied gradually
as a background task. Earlier versions of TeXShop used the second
approach. But in Jaguar, coloring in the background is dramatically
slower
than coloring before the document opens, so version 1.21 colors first.
Documents may take slightly longer to open, but the program should be
responsive as soon as they open. If users find this delay annoying,
please
write me.
Some users have been reporting that the pdf window is blank when they
first open documents. I believe that these users upgraded to TeXShop
1.20,
but were still using Mac OS 10.1.5 or earlier. TeXShop 1.19 is again
available on my web site for these folks. The following experiment
explains
the problem: if TeXShop 1.19 is compiled on Mac OS 10.1.5, the
program runs on 10.1.5 and 10.2. But if the same code is compiled
on Mac OS 10.2 without any code changes, the program runs
on 10.2, but has the blank pdf window bug on 10.1.5. So the TeXShop 1.19
on my page was compiled with Mac OS 10.1.5.
A large number of people have written in the last several months with
bug reports and suggested improvements. Unfortunately, I've been doing
other things and these folks will be disappointed with 1.21. I intend to
work regularly on TeXShop in the future. It is difficult to sort back
through
all the old email, so if you wrote me, please write again.

From: "Heath Raftery"
Date: Sat, 09 Nov 2002 20:09:45 +1100
Dick and others,
Just wanted to loose my virginity on this list and post to say that
TeXShop, and the TeX language in general, rocks! I'm a 3rd Computer
Engineering student, and was sick of using WYSIWYG editors to complete
techincal assignment reports.
I recently had a large technical document, with pictures and lots of
equations, to write for an assignment. Time was seriously running out
to get started on the assignment, yet I decided that I wanted to use
TeX. It took me all of an hour to get a handle on TeX (my first
introduction to the language - had simply "heard" of it before), then
another half hour to install TeXShop and the TeX distribution.
From there, I spent about 15 hours flat out, writing the document,
_without_ a single hitch! I remember the first time I ran my document
through the Latex typesetter. I had just filled in the details for the
LatexTemplate, added a section or two, and the pdf result was simply
amazing. By the end of the assignment, I had a beautifully rendered,
consistent and referenced document, which looked incredible. If only
the time taken to complete the content reflected the appearance!
I found TeXShop very intuitive and seemless. LaTeX I found a huge time
saver with great results, which I'm very happy to have learnt.
Now, just a couple of newbie questions, because I'd like to break any
bad habits before they really form.
1. I had quite a few GIFs and TIFFs to include, and the process I used
was to d'ble click them to open in Preview, one by one, and
Apple-Shift-4 to capture the section I want. I'd then rename and move
the Picture 1.pdf into a images directory, which is in the same
directory as my tex document. I could them refer to them in my LaTeX
document with, for example:
\begin{figure}[p]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=3D1\textwidth]{images/31cZoomed}
\caption{Steady state output voltage, showing voltage ripple.}
\label{fig:31cZoomed}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
which worked quite well. Any suggestions?
2. The only way I found to do multiline equations was this:
\begin{eqnarray}
I_{oB} &=3D& \frac{T_s V_d}{2L}(D-D^2) \nonumber \\
&=3D& 182.29 T_s \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
Is that the way to do it?
3. To do 'Hz' as in Hertz, I used this, which I found somewhere, but
don't _really_ understand.
\def \Hz {\mathop {\rm Hz} \nolimits }
and then \Hz would give me what I wanted. I used this because $5Hz$
looked pretty crap. Is this what people do - collect a bunch of \def's
and stick them at the top of their documents?
4. To help me with new tags, I downloaded a selection of the many pdfs
available, and had them and a couple of html references open to consult
for each new tag. I also prinited out a "LaTeX 2e Cheat Sheet" to
consult a hardcopy. These did the job, but I didn't really find one
particular reference that did it all. I know I can't expect to have the
entire LaTeX language reference handed to me, but does anyone have any
recommendations for references? I guess for a decent one, I'd be
looking at buying a book of some sort. Is this how people work?
5. How do I spellcheck my document?!
That'll do for now, thanks in advance for any responses.
Heath

Wow; I wish my students could pick it up this rapidly, and with
such enthusiasm.
Would you be interested in doing PostGrad studies in TeX development ?

It is possible to automate this kind of procedure,
but in my experience there isn't a lot to be gained by doing so.
At some point you will want to view the images, and may choose to
crop away excess white-space, or extract just a portion of it.
So you have to look at each image, preferably before it's put
onto the page.
Hence I usually use GraphicConverter to translate into .jpg at
maximum quality.
pdfTeX then uses the .jpg file and there's no need to have a .pdf
of the image. But if GraphicConverter, or other conversion software
(such as 'convert' on the command-line) is configured correctly,
then you could go to PDF straight away.
> \begin{figure}[p]
> \begin{center}
> \includegraphics[width=3D1\textwidth]{images/31cZoomed}
Do you really want the images at 100% of the typeset width of the
page ? 80%-85% is generally enough; but be consistent.
I only completely fill-out the page-width when not doing so results
in some things being too small to read (e.g. axes-ticks on graphs).

iYou got the hang of it pretty well, I'd say.

Yes; that's acceptable, but many people think it creates too much space
around the centred portions. (i.e. he &=3D& bits).
There are other ways too; e.g. \displaylines with \\ as the =
line-delimiter.
Best is to load the package: \usepackage{amsmath}
which gives a whole slough of extra alignment environments.

The \mathop adjust the amount of space around the Hz, when typeset.
(It's a moot point whether a units designation is an "operator" or not.)
The \nolimits affects the position of super/subscripts;
e.g. in \Hz^{-1} in case you ever need this.
Try it without, in a displayed environment (or use \limits instead of =
\nolimits)
to see the difference.
This is, however, a consequence of using \mathop .
> and then \Hz would give me what I wanted. I used this because $5Hz$

Perhaps a more LaTeX-like definition is:
\newcommand{\Hz}{\,\mathrm{Hz}}
which gives a little bit of space before the unit, and no special space
or placement afterwards.
> ... Is this what people do - collect a bunch of \def's

Yes; indeed.
Alternatively, put them into a separate file, read using
\input mymacros.tex
or
\input mymacros.sty
or as a LaTeX package \usepackage{mymacros}
This allows the same file to be easily used with different jobs,
but this also leads to file-management issues.

Daly & Kopka from Addison-Wesley, for most things LaTeX.
There's a new edition in the works, but that's maybe 2 years away.

ispell is the traditional Unix/TeX way.
But there are many more tools for this now; especially omn the Mac.
Doubtless others will respond.

To Richard and everyone else:
The biggest syntax coloring problem with TeXShop is still there in the
new version. That is, when you have a long document (this one is 172
KB) and are trying to type within a long paragraph with a fair bit of
math in it, typing becomes just plain glacial when typing within that
paragraph. This did not happen pre-10.2. This is with TeXShop 1.21
under Mac OS X 10.2.1 with an 800 MHz PowerBook G4.
I know I am not the only one seeing this -- is everyone seeing it?

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

I call a figure in the text with the command

The problem is that the figure environment is not seems to be compatible

Sorry not to answer directly (I don't know if there's a way to alter the
TeX Tools). The way I have worked this out is to configure TeXShop to
work with an external editor (available on the prefs pane). Then you
need only switch from BBEdit to TeXShop (cmd-tab) and press the shortcut
key combination to typeset the document (e.g., cmd-shift-L for LaTeX,
cmd-shift-T for TeX, etc.). No mousing involved.
(I have two monitors, so keeping TeXShop's pdf preview open on one and
working with the BBEdit document on the other is a way cool way to live =
:-)

Thanks much for this new version! It's working well. Two suggestions:
1. It would be nice to be able to call TtH or t4ht directly from
TeXShop. I imagine a lot of people might use it and Gerben made a TeX4ht
package available .
2. Each time I run BibTex in TeXShop, the console ends up as the front
window, instead of the pdf preview window. I don't know if this is a
bug, but it's not consistent with what happens when LaTeX and other
typesetting engines are run. Not a big deal, but it requires extra mouse
movement to bring a different window forward.
cheers,
Jeff

1) For the Bbedit behaviour:
you have to uncheck the following preference in Bbedit

fairly new to TeX, I've only been using it for about 8 months now,
but I really like all of the features and I use it for just about
everything now.
Anyway, I wanted to try typesetting some Japanese documents,
so I downloaded Kiriki's shift-JIS pLatex package (which is listed on
the ascii.co.jp pLatex site under MacOSX) . I installed the package
and set up my TeX editor to use the libraries. However, I cannot get
it work at all. It keeps returning the error [fmtutil: no info for
format `platex'. I can't find the format file `platex.fmt'!] even
when I attempt to run the platex command from Terminal.app.
I used fmtutil to rebuild all of the .fmt files, but it still
does not work. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to properly
install and configure the Japanese pLatex? Thank you.
-Joshua

Everything works fine if you remove the pst-all package. Also, the=20
epsfig is not necessary to include eps graphics.

Hello,
Hmm, have you tried to use the command \linespread{...} in
the preamble of your document, as opposed to using the doublespace
package? I've never used the doublespace package before, but setting
the linespread parameter to 1.6 is equivalent to a doublespaced
document. I've never had any problems with figures (of JPG) before
with this parameter (other than having to and a blank line after each
figure to get a stray paragraph to indent properly). Hope this helps.
