Thank you,I was sure that was right. Doesn't work It makes the DVI file 
but not the html. It seems that I have a problem with finding files.  
Working on it. Thank you very much for your help.

If I understand correctly you are following Bob's suggestion to do this:

1- htlatex filename

2- Open in Word or TextEdit or Pages.

But it somehow this isn't working for you . . .

If that's correct, and your problem is finding the directory and 
files for the conversion, perhaps you can try this:

1) Open up a Terminal window

2) For maximum ease, make a copy of the directory with your tex file 
in it to the desktop.

3) in Termial type 'cd' then drag your folder with your tex document 
to the Termial window
(you are now in that directory!

As Bob  says, type "htlatex filename.tex" and just sit back and wait. 
You should see a bunch of stuff scroll by in the Terminal window, 
then your html version of the document will pop open in your default 
browser.

I hope I am undserstanding your problem well enough to not be 
insulting you because you already know all this ;-)

Cheers,

Rene'

Subject: Texshop and external editors

Will the new TeXshop synchronize with an external editor, either  
using pdfsync or its new method of synchronizing? Put another way,  
can one open the TeXshop viewer at a particular line from the command  
line, or from an external editor? If so, Alpha (and presumably emacs  
and bbedit) would be able to support this, but I do not know whether  
the functionality exists.
This feature would be useful for those (like me) who are intrigued by  
Texshop's new feature, but who are addicted to a particular editor.

If the answer is yes, how does one do it? If the answer is no, is  
this feature planned for a future release of TeXshop? Alternatively,  
perhaps some other PDF viewers will support it?

Regards,
Geoff Vallis

Hi Rene

The conversion worked a treat and MS works flawlessly and crashes in 
true MS style while trying to open the html.

Oh well guess I had better switch to Explorer as my default browser. 
Will try that later. Too much MS at once is just too depressing.

Thank you for the help.

Hi George,

If the following stuff is too elementary, I apologize. The  
instructions use examplefile.tex as the input file name and ~/ 
Documents/examplefolder as the folder name.

1. Open the OS X terminal.

2. In the terminal type:  cd ~/Documents/examplefolder

3. Press return.
     this changes your folder to ~/Documents/examplefolder

4. In the terminal type: htlatex examplefile

5. Press return.
      tex4ht makes three runs and creates an output file named:  
examplefile.html

6. In the terminal type: open .
      after the word "open" is a space and a period (.)

7.  Press return.
      this opens the examplefolder folder in a Finder window.
       you should be able to find the file named examplefile.html in  
the folder.

Does this help?

Bob

I'm having problems with TeXShop 2.03 on MacOSX Tiger in split screen

get spurious text. It doesn't happen all the time but only

Yes, now that you mention it, I have. So has a colleague. This also  
happens, though less often, when not in split screen mode. I haven't  
been able to figure out the trigger (and it hasn't happened in a week  
or so), so I haven't reported it. Are you, by chance, running  
TextExtras? Since others are not reporting it and since it is likely  
that most people are not running TextExtras, I thought that it might  
be the cause.

Subject: [OS X TeX] installing font for Latex June 5
From: "Charles Chapman Pugh" 
Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 15:07:32 -0700

Hello.

I would like to install a special postscript Type 1 font for use with  
TexShop.  It is a logo-header for letters, and it comes with an afm  
file, but no separate tfm file.  It worked simply and well using  
Textures.  (A similar postscript file made with fontographer would  
also be useful if I could install it, It too worked with Textures.)    
I currently run Tiger and TexShop 2.03, downloaded with the i- 
installer.  Here is the console message I get when I run latex on the  
lettertemplate file.

I have read Bruno Voisin's notes on doing such font installations,  
which can be found by googling "Installing Fonts for Latex on OS X,"  
but to the Unix novice they are daunting, and the probability of  
success (for me) seems low.  Is there not a simple way to install a  
font in OS X, which can be used easily in Latex?  In fact, at the  
beginning of Bruno's tutorial several things the reader is assumed to  
be familiar with are listed, including  other necessary installation  
guides!  It looks like a long road.

I apologize in advance if this topic has already been dealt with  
here  --  I am a recent addition to the list.


Best,  Charles Pugh

It does happen to me as well, occasionally, and I don't run TextExtras.

Behaviour found here too. No TextExtras. I think (not sure) I have =20
seen similar behaviour in Mail.app. Hence suspecting Tiger at fault.
