Somebody posted this after the 1.2x updates for TexShop, but 1.24
seems to have introduced a bug for the spelling. It seems to only
mark a word misspelled when the word is followed by a period without
space. In other words, the spell checking is almost entirely
nonfunctional.
Was there a workaround posted that I missed?
Also, are the old versions of TexShop available? The slow syntax
coloring was not a problem fro me b/c I am on newer hardware. I now
wish I still had the old version...

What style files are available for BibTex with this
TeX/LaTeX set up for MAC?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I don't remember where I saw this, but a nice feature of one of the editors
is that when you close the $ it highlights the pair which it belongs to.
This is ver handy when you have a number of $ signs in a paragraph or the /=
$
command inside the $...$ nest. Also, simply moving the cursor to the $
highlights the pair. A good idea???

My build broke again after Friday's OS update, so you may want to
rebuild. Heck, you may need to release a version for each person's
revision status. I don't know why emacs is so fragile as to break like
this, but it's getting frustrating when I have to build a few times a
month just to get back to where I was before an update.

This is frustrating indeed.

I'll try to investigate before posting the new version.

You mean that "BIND" security update ?

Beats the heck out of me. I'm not the only one who noticed this, and
rebuilding fixed it. For whatever reason, that nobody seems to
understand, Carbon emacs seems to be rather fragile.

To get dropcaps, use picinpar (which defines the window environment) as
follows:
\begin{window}[0,l,{\yn T},{}]
\noindent he paragraph with the opening dropcap; note that
the first letter of the opening word (i.e., the `T' of the `The') is
in the options to {window}.
The \yn macro was defined as: \font\yn=3Dcmr17 scaled \magstep5
\end{window}
See ``The \LaTeX Companion'' p. 53 for more information on picinpar.
