Yes font smoothing works and also the rectangular selection of text which
is a handy thing if you are trying to cut a column of data out
of something.

Ah this means I can have my BBEdit documents looking identical to
my TeXShop ones when I am editing. Thats nice I always found
it distracting to adapt by (old and slow) brain when I
switched from one to the other !
If only BBEdit gave you a bit more syntax colouring control like
TeXShop.

Hi Richard
Good thought. I did write about the need for an option
in the command line tool to handle opening at a line
and they have responded to that.
Actually this if fixable by someone who knows how
to program (not me sadly). On the Bare Bones web site is an SDK for
making plug-ins. They have the source for the TeX plugin
which colors the math stuff. I assume it just needs some
more work on it to do more complicated things.
What syntax coloring would people like to see ??

It seems to be the syntax coloring that is possible is as follows:
You can have seperate colors for each of the following items. I have
specified the colors I have but they are user modifiable
to some extent depending on the package:
-----------
BBEDit:
comments (red)
\anything (blue)
$anything between dollars$ (green)
---------
TeXShop:
comments (red)
\anything (blue)
{ } $ $ but not what is between them (green)
----------
Alpha:
Same as TeXShop basically.
I guess Alpha is very modifiable if you can write TcL.
------------
Some of the detail is different. In Alpha \$ is black green
in TeXShop \$ is blue green.
Does this fit with everyones experience? It would seem the only
change that BBEdit needs is to not colour the whole of a
string between $ just $'s and }'s

I've beta tested several versions of BBEdit, including this one.
I've earlier collected comments/requests, from this and other mailing
lists, for how BBEdit can be improved when it comes to LaTeX/TeX and
sent it to BBSW. They were quite interested in how BBEdit can be
improved regarding TeX/LaTex but they have some difficulty in knowing
what needs to be done ... they are not TeX/LaTeX users themselves.
Unfortunately (?), I think that the LaTeX/TeX users are only a small
portion of their customers so I think it would be a good idea to send a
list of your favourite wishes to support@barebones.com. They are usually
quite responsive and even if you don't get everything you ask for a few
things might be added now and then.
So write down a list, and try to motivate/describe why a certain feature
is needed and perhaps a few ideas for how it should work, and send it to
support.

Subject: xy-pic question
From: "Daniel Becker"

hallo,
a few days ago, this list told me to use xy-pic for diagrams. I am now
learning to use it and start getting what I want and also to like it.
Question:
Is it possible to draw curves of a specific functional form, e.g. y=3Dk^b
A^{1-a} (A Cobb-Douglas production function in intensive form....).
Or is it alternatively possible to force a curve passing positions /
coordinates I specify? (Control points are always outside the curve.)
Thanks for any answer.

No. It's not designed to do this, kind of thing.
Though if you had the coordinates constructed externally
for a set of points then its not hard to program Xypic to connect them
with line segments.
> Or is it alternatively possible to force a curve passing positions /
> coordinates I specify? (Control points are always outside the curve.)
There is an interpolating spline construction which can do this.
It's called a q-Bezier curve, or q-spline, I think.
In Xy-pic, look for \qspline in the xycurve module.

Not exactly what you were looking for, I guess, but GNUplot with output
in either postscript, LaTeX or (very good) MetaPost, is a quite good
way of plotting data and functions for inclusion in LaTeX.

From: "Hemant Bhargava"
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 04:49:48 -0800 (PST)
Hi -
I have a weird problem to report with BBEdit 6.5.3 -- I'm using it on a =
Mac G3 running OS X 10.2.2.
I opened a file abcd-job-recommendation-2002.tex and called tetex ... =
which started running, then issued an error message **and then printed the =
error report into the .tex file that I was editing**. And somehow this got =
automatically saved into BBEdit, so that I lost my original text. =
Fortunately I had a backup.
The weird thing is that the file runs perfectly when
a) I copy the text into a file with a shorter name abcd.tex and then call =
tetex from within BBEdit, or
b) I compile the file through some other editor / front-end (I used =
TeXShop).
It does not seem to be purely a BBEdit problem (though the fact that it =
automatically saved the corrupted version is), and I don't know whether =
this happened before I moved to 10.2.2. It can't of course be tetex =
because tetex runs perfectly otherwise. So where's the problem? Is it =
10.2.2 ? I also recall something like this with OzTeX -- I remember =
running it on a long file name and that it destroyed my source file with =
an error message (I was using Alpha then). I will write to barebones =
though.
I could never understand this thing about long file names anyway -- I have =
only OS X on my machine. But several applications insist on truncating =
certain filenames. Why?

Hi Ray,
You can set TeXShop in the preferences so that `Configure for
External Editor' is selected then it will never launch its
own internal editor but just latex, tex etc.
Then you can have the file open in BBEdit and work on it and
switch to TeXShop compile, switch back to BBEdit to edit etc.
But TeXShop doesn't know you are using BBEdit and doesn't
pass any information to BBEdit.
You can't do a keycommand in BBEdit to make it compile in TeXShop
or vice-versa.
This means in particular that you cannot get TeXShop to open
BBEdit at the point at which an error occurs. To me this
seems the major problem with this approach.
The TeXShop docs do say:
\begin{quote}
Applescript support for the "external editor option" is still weak;
it will improve in the next version, making it possible to typeset
entirely from within an applescript-capable editor.
\end{quote}
You can also use BBEdit with the BBEdit Tools from
Tom Kiffe (www.kiffe.com) that enable you to run the
command line latex and tex from within BBEdit, launch a
previewer etc.

I'm not using TeXShop so I can't say, but using OzTeX I'm just using a
simple AppleScript that tells OzTeX to "TeXify" and switch apps to OzTeX
so I just hit ctrl-T in BBEdit and I'm magically transferred to OzTeX
where I just type "o" to see the output.

Yep OzTeX <-> Alpha used to be like that as well. Command-T in Alpha
and the file got texed in OzTeX, Command-E in OzTeX and the file
was edited in Alpha. Of course that was in Mac OS 9 days! I assume
when AlphaX appears it will work like this with OzTeX. Maybe AlphaTk
will already.
TeXShop is not quite at this point yet.

I am having problems getting this to work. I have configured TexShop to =
work
with an external editor. I open a .tex file in BBEdit and edit it. When I
switch to TeXShop window, it brings up an empty page (switching to it is =
by
means of choosing TexShop on Dragthing, but that is probably not =
relevant).
Clicking LaTeX button opens a window to save the empty document. If I =
close
that window, then all functions are grayed out. I am doing something =
wrong,
but could not figure out. Any help would be appreciated.
I wish BBEdit would have the possibility of integration with Latex systems
the way Alpha had in OS9. Short of that, I wish there was a script to do =
all
of this from within BBEdit.
Thanks.

I have noticed this as well. I think it's a bug in TeXShop. The
workaround is to (1) re-typeset the document, (2) close the preview
window in TeXShop, and then (3) re-open the .tex document by dragging it
onto the TeXShop icon (in the dock).

I've seen a couple people mention something similar on the list. I'm not
sure I understand what the difficulty is. You just press the key
combination to change to TeXShop (cmd-tab) and then press the key
combination to typeset the document (cmd-shift-L, if you're using LaTeX).
I know in Alpha you just had to hit cmd-T, but it seems like one more
key stroke isn't too big a deal. Am I missing something?

I think the issue is that cmd-shift-L does not work for me. The only way I
could get this to work is a combination of what you said:
- Typeset the document once by dragging it to the TexShop icon in the =
dock.
- Leave the preview window open.
- Then go to BBEdit and do whatever editing you need to so.
- Save the document in BBEdit.
- Switch over to TeXShop preview window and click the Latex button.
It seems to me that this is way too many steps to get a simple thing =
done.
At the risk of being branded a traitor, I use a Windows environment at =
work
where I use WinEdt/Miktex combination. The interface there is exactly what =
I
hope Texshop/Tetex combination will evolve to. Major things are done in =
one

environment).

I know. I used Alpha/OzTeX combination to write a 500 page book on a

Thanks for the update. I've noticed some minor strange display
behavior in version 1.24, which wasn't there in 1.21 to the best of my
recollection. If I misspell a word, TeXShop will not underline it in
red if is it followed by a space character. Misspelled words followed
by a carriage return are correctly underlined in red. Even more
interesting: if the misspelled word is immediately followed by
punctuation, the misspelled word is underlined in red *before* I type a
space after the punctuation, but once the space is typed the underlying
disappears. I think it's just a display bug, as I can right-click on
the misspelled word and still get a list of spelling options ("Ignore
Spelling", etc.) in the contextual menu. In TextEdit, all misspelled
words are correctly flagged (underlined in red). This all is under OS X
10.2.1. Has anyone else noticed this apparent bug? Thanks.

Having never used Alpha, I cannot comment on what it looks like or
whether it should be the model for syntax coloring. But I always
thought the *lack* of coloring within the $'s was a BUG!! That is, I
actually *want* the whole math string to be highlighted in green (or

In (La)TeX idiom
this is the word that should not be {disrupted}
becomes
\hyphenation{disrupted}
to be put somewhere in your document (before writing the word=20
"disrupted" itself), as opposed to
\hyphenation{dis-rupted}
which creates the possibility of hyphenating the word at a certain=20
point.
Are you sure you really want to do this? Generally (La)TeX finds=20
correct hyphenations, except in a few cases (names of persons from=20
other countries, for example). Assuming you use the babel package and=20
choose the correct hyphenation file for your language, you should get=20
no problem; even if you need to insert a few words from other=20
languages, to be hyphenated differently, the babel package introduces=20
the convenient command \foreignlanguage.
For example you can have a LaTeX file with the following structure:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[francais,english]{babel}
\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{french}
Texte fran=E7ais avec au milieu \foreignlanguage{english}{Cambridge=20
University Press} et ainsi de suite.
\end{document}
Bruno Voisin
PS \mbox{disrupted} is likely to produce a word protruding in the right=20=
margin, whereas \hyphenation{disrupted} (to be put for example in the=20
preamble of your document) should produce properly balanced lines.=

Thanks for your in-depth answer. And yes, I want to do it, but it is
not a typical document, it is a curriculum vitae I try to typeset using

If I remember correctly Richard Koch once explained that this is
"prescribed behavior" (prescibed in Apple's interface guidelines). If
you click an application's icon in the dock, it opens a new window (if
none are open already). However, if you toggle between applications

Hello!
I'm having troubles with an attempt to typeset a two column document
under TeXShop. I can't seem to find a spot to tell TeXShop to view the
pdf in landscape. I'm using the landscape and the twocolumn document
class options, but when I LaTeX it, the viewer shows me a vertical
page, with the second column cut off about the middle, with the bottom
of the text falling about halfway down the page. Page Setup doesn't
seem to play with that. Any ideas?
Also-
I'm doing a lecture/presentation tomorrow night on Beginner's LaTeX,
over why folks should use it. I'm thinking of running over what it is,
the advantages, a bit on installation, and then go over some examples,
how to code simple things, hand out a few things I've done. I'm
thinking I'll go over, for rockin' features, the auto-table of

You're absolutely right! That makes me feel stupid now ... :-) Thanks a

If you used the archive and install option when installing Jaguar, then
you need to reinstall Gerben's distribution. If you just did an update,
I don't think you would need to, but I am not sure of that.

Subject: [OS X TeX] Circuitry: great package!!
From: "Juan Manuel Palacios"
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 00:43:10 -0400
Hello list, here I come with some good news for those who have a
need for typesetting circuits into LaTeX files but do not have drawing
tools at hand. In such case the "Circ" package could be considered a God
send, although still a young one! First of all let me say, if this is
already common knowledge then please excuse my ignorance and bandwidth
misuse. But if this package is not widely known then I encourage all who
see circuits in their sleep to download it and get acquainted with it:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/diagrams/circ/
All that needs to be downloaded are the three files:
-) Makefile,
-) circ.dtx,
-) circ.ins
The Makefile needs some tweaks to reflect the file structure of
Gerben's (thank you so much!!) TeX installation in order to place the
needed files in the right places:
INSTDIR=3D/usr/local/lib/texmf <-- changed to
INSTDIR=3D/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local
CIRCMF=3D$(INSTDIR)/mf/circ <-- changed to =
CIRCMF=3D$(INSTDIR)/metafont/circ
CIRCTEX=3D$(INSTDIR)/tex/circ <-- once the INSTDIR has been set there is
no need to modify this further
FONTMAP=3D/usr/lib/texmf/fontname/special.map <-- changed to
FONTMAP=3D$(INSTDIR)/fontname/special.map
This will make the installation of the circ package compatible with
a default install of Gerben's packages; anyone who has customized TeX's
installation will know how to modify the Makefile appropriately. Two
important things to note about the change in the variables:
-) The CIRCMF change is *extremly* important because the structure
"$(INSTDIR)/mf/circ" does not follow TeX standards for placing font
definitions: the standard is "/whatever/metafont/packagename/" (or at
least that's what I've learned!) but this package uses
"/whatever/mf/packagename/" and TeX is not configured to look at any
"mf" directory for font definitions. Once I had everything installed I
still got font errors when compiling circuits and I had to bang my head
against the wall to figure this out!
-) Secondly, the FONTMAP change needs an even more manual tweak I
preferred to perform because of security reasons. The Makefile looks
for certain declarations in the "special.map" file and if it doesn't
find them it tries to append them to it. So to prevent the package from
modifying a default file (which could be wiped away by an update) I told
the Makefile to look for it inside the texmf.local tree. But there is no
special.map file in it so an "mkdir -p
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fontname" and a manual copy
of"texmf/fontname/special.map" to "texmf.local/fontname/" need to take
place before the Makefile is run. Ironically, after checking all this
and performing all the changes I realized the declarations the Makefile
looks for in "special.map" are already there (don't know why), so no
real appending takes place! Anyhow, it is a recommended practice to keep
local stuff from modifying default stuff.
Anyhow, after all these cumbersome modifications are in place we
are ready to produce and install all the needed files. Just place the
three downloaded files in a directory (preferably one created for the
sole purpose of the circ package because plenty of new files will be
generated) and run "make all" followed by "sudo make install". If you
want documentation just run "make doc" and grab the "circ.dvi" file.
After all this run "sudo texhash" and everything should be ready to go!
As a test of a working installation of the circ package try to compile
the following text:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[basic,physics]{circ}
\title{My First Circuit!!}
\author{me}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Hello, my first circuit!
\begin{center}
\begin{circuit}0
\nl \varU1 $\varepsilon$ u
\- 1 u
\nl \C1 $C$ u
\- 1 u
\- 3 r
\nl \L1 $L$ . r
\- 3 r
\.1
\- 3 d
\nl \C3 $C'$ d
\- 3 d
\.2
\atpin .1
\- 3 r
\nl \L2 $L$ . r
\- 3 r
\- 3 d
\nl \Cvar2 $C$ d
\- 3 d
\- 20 l
\end{circuit}
\end{center}
\end{document}
This should give you a fair idea of what the package can do, it is
really great! The generated circuit is very simple and amateur, but all
that remains from now on is reading "circ.dvi"
I hope you all like it and that it is as useful for some of you as
I hope it will be for me. Again, if most of you already have this then
please excuse my bandwidth misuse.
Enjoy! My warmest regards to all,...
Juan.
P.S.: I think I explained all the needed steps to get the show on the
road, but if I forgot something or anyone has problems getting the
package to run then don't hesitate to contact me, I'll try to do my best
helping!
P.P.S.: I have no relation to the package developer, I am just an amazed
web surfer who stumbled across an interesting LaTeX package! Bye...

Subject: Re: TeXShop and BBEdit (was Re: [OS X TeX] BBEdit 7.0)
From: "Tom Kiffe"
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 01:04:08 -0600
There has been some discussion on this list lately about using BBedit as a
text editor for TeX, generally in conjunction with TeXShop. Since I appear
to be the only individual writing OS X TeX plug-ins for BBEdit, perhaps
I can add a few words to the discussion.
Using BBEdit with TeXShop.
To say that TeXShop supports an external editor is rather disingenuous at =
this
point. As far as I can tell, all this means at present is that TeXShop =
won't
open a tex file in its built-in editor if it is configured to use an
external editor. At least two changes need to be made to TeXShop for it
to support an external editor. When TeXShop is configured for an external
editor an open document event sent to TeXShop with a tex file should cause
TeXShop to typeset the file with its current configuration and without
further action on the part of the user. Once TeXShop supports this feature
I can easily write a BBEdit plug-in to tell TeXShop to typeset the file
displayed in BBEdit's front window.
When configured to use an external editor TeXShop must allow TeX to call
BBEdit or any other external editor when the user types an 'e' at a TeX
prompt. Since I have nothing to do with the development of TeXShop I don't =
know how difficult this change could be. It may be as simple as having
TeXShop not set the value of the TEXEDIT environment variable when it is
running with an external editor.
Using BBEdit with CMacTeX or OzTeX.
This approach only makes any sense if one has not installed teTeX and is
probably supported by some users who remember doing TeX on OS 7, 8, and 9.
CMacTeX already fully supports BBEdit as an external editor on OS X. As
far as I know, there are no OS X BBEdit plug-ins for OzTeX.
Using BBEdit directly with teTeX.
From my perspective this is the most versatile approach to using BBEdit
with TeX. It is similar to using emacs with TeX on Unix (OS X) or WinEdt
with Miktex in a Windows environment. I have written a suite of BBEdit
plug-ins for teTeX which use the Terminal program to do the actual
processing. These plug-ins are being updated to use the new features of
BBEdit 7.0 and updates should be available in a few days. The plug-ins
just execute shell scripts in the Terminal window. The shell scripts
themselves can be modified by the user to do just about anything. I use
plug-ins rather than have BBEdit directly call the shell scripts because
BBEdit Lite supports plug-ins but cannot call shell scripts directly.
Since this is not a perfect world there are two caveats I should mention.
Modifying the shell scripts requires some knowledge of Unix shell =
programming.
The plug-ins use the Terminal's "do script with command" Apple Event.
Unfortunately Apple decided that the Terminal must open a new window with
each such event it receives. Since the plug-in does not know when the
script it calls has executed in the Terminal it can't close the new =
Terminal
window itself. I know of no command that can be executed from a Terminal
window that can close the Terminal window it is running in without causing
the Terminal to put up a dialog box asking the user if he or she really
wants to do this. Perhaps someone cleverer than I knows a way around this.
The bottom line is that the user must conscientiously close Terminal =
windows
when running the plug-ins.
Tom
P.S.
I haven't said anything about BBEdit and Textures since the latter still =
doesn't
exist. Along with some of you I also eagerly await the release of AlphaX. =
The
developers working on Alpha are very clever and will likely have a very =
elegant
solution to the problem of running TeX from a Carbon editor. Perhaps I =
will be
able to use some of their ideas to improve the BBEdit plug-ins.

Hi
Just a quick (stupid) question. I've installed teTeX with Gerbens
excellent iIntsaller. I need to create a postscript file from the dvi

dvips foo.dvi
pipes the result foo.ps to lpr, and then deletes it.
Is there an option to dvips '-something' so that it prints to the file
foo.ps and leaves it be?
Thanks

I do not think such file natbib.bst does exist anywhere. The=20
documentation for the natbib _package_ is in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/latex/natbib/
the related LaTeX input files are in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/natbib

Yes but you'll need TeXShop 1.24 (I don't know if earlier versions had
this, there was a rapid succession of improvments recently)
Choose Help from the menu in TeXShop, you'll find the explanation under
Editing Tricks. I haven't tried to customize this panel (yet) but it
looks straightforward. (Thanks for asking the question, you made me
look it up!)
You can create a similar effect by writing your own templates (see Help
under "Modifying the Templates Menu"). You can write your own latex
code, and it can show under the "Templates" button on the editing
window of TeXShop.
Now, what I would really like to see is a keyboard shortcut for
inserting latex commands, say, E to insert "\begin{equation}
... \end{equation}"...

Subject: PDF with Lucida Bright
From: "Herb Schulz"

Howdy,
I always liked the look of the Lucida Bright fonts from Y&Y ever seeing it
used in "A LaTeX Companion." I assume there is no problem with publishing =
in
print documents using those fonts; especially if there is an =
acknowledgement
of the source in a colophon.
What about publishing in PDF, where at least portions of the font is =
stored
in the file itself?
Thanks for any information you can supply.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
