I have tried similar programs a few years ago, but I don't see any
advantage to just using texshop. I keep a latex document called
eq_page.tex, which only has an equation on a blank page. It is very
easy to edit and then copy form the pdf viewer. You can have all
sorts of macros, etc, and have a bunch of tex source from previous
equations after the \end{document}. Most of the time that I need
this service, I have already typed in the latex source, so it is just
a matter of copy-n-paste between texshop windows...
Are there any advantages to using latexit or similar (other than not
needing that eq_page.tex file)?

Yes, there are a few advantages that come to mind. First if you use
LaTeXIt, the pdf equations that it produces are already closely cropped
so it is a simple matter of drag and drop into any app that accepts
pdfs. Second, if there is linkback support, you can edit the pdf
equation and keep everything in sync (I've never used this so I cannot
comment how well it works, but theoretically it should be very handy).
However, the best feature to me is that I can type all of my equations
into LaTeXIt and then drag properly formatted LaTeX labels, references,
equation environments, ... into my TeXShop documents from the LaTeXIt
equation library as needed. Which means that I can quickly scroll
through my equation library while seeing the resulting equation, which
makes putting large documents together much easier. Of course this is
all a matter of preference.

Hi,
I recently encountered a problem with using hyperref with TeXShop and
pdflatex (gwTeX). When typesetting a pageref command an extra string is
inserted just after the pagenumber. It starts with the title of the
paper, and goes on with 'ExDepth.1' (or something very similar). It
seems to be a hyperlink to page 1 (even though the page reference is to
another page). Also, a following section number reference is sometimes
erroneous.
I could devise workarounds by means of new counters, but that was rather
cumbersome.
These problems disappear when turning hyperref of. I have not been able
to reproduce it in a simple example document.
Has anyone encountered anything similar, and does anyone understand the
problem?
Otherwise, I think the support for hyperref in TeXShop is a great
addition to a great application. It is a pleasure to navigate with the
preview window drawer.
Best,
Peter

That's correct, it's only for the current terminal/session and all =20
its children.
If you want to avoid the script or the global environment setting =20
below, remember that you can set environment variables from the =20
command line by just prepending the first part on the same line, =20
skipping the export/setenv part.
GS_OPTIONS=3D"-dAutoRotatePages=3D/None" altpdftex --distiller =20
pdf2pdf13
will set the GS_OPTIONS for _this_ invocation of altpdftex and all =20
its children (pdf2pdf13).

Not sure about profile, but I assume TeXShop does use a shell to =20
execute it commands, so if that's (for example) bash, putting it =20
in .bashrc should to the trick (I am not sure if .profile is for all =20
shells or just for login shells, .bashrc is for all shells in any case).

Thanks to a very recent idea, I made a first step for supporting
xelatex under LaTeXiT
So here is a new beta of LaTeXiT, that can use xelatex (but requires
pdflatex anyway).
Actually, only the composition process has been changed; for
instance, I do not use a different default preamble.
Peter, can you check if it is enough for your needs ?

I did a very quick test, selecting the XeLaTeX engine, removing the =20
last line of the preamble:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
and replacing it with
\usepackage{xunicode,fontspec}
\setromanfont[Mapping=3Dtex-text]{Trebuchet MS}
then typesetting
\mathrm{Test}\qquad ax^2+bx+c
I get the proper output but with an incorrect bounding box of width =20
212 pt and height 300 pt (says Pages, when dragging-and-dropping the =20
formula from LaTeXiT). This is the same aspect ratio as an A4 page, =20
which seems to indicate the XeLaTeX output has been resized from A4 =20
but not actually tailored to its content.

Actually (with.zip extension).
I had a look at AppController.m, but had to give up: it's not =20

Yes. In particular ~/.bashrc is *only* read in by non-login (bash)
shells. A login shell *only* reads is ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.profile if
.bash_profile is missing).=20
Extra info:
If one wants a login shell to read .bashrc then one should put the line
"source .bashrc" in .bash_profile (or link them to the same file).

I cannot do that, since I do not have xunicode installed, and not

I have just done that (using the default preamble), but I still get, =20
in Pages, a bounding box which is a reduced a4 page (that, by =20
dragging the formula from the LaTeXiT window onto the margins of a =20
Pages document).
However, if the default LaTeXiT preamble is used, then there is not =20
much point using XeLaTeX: what XeLaTeX allows is the direct use of =20
AAT and OT fonts in LaTeX, in Unicode encoding, with all the =20
additional functionalities included in these fonts (bidirectional =20
typesetting, additional features like initial and final swashes, =20
etc., depending of the functionalities built-in in the font).
The fontspec package provides an easy interface to this, so that, for =20=
example,
\setromanfont{Trebuchet MS}
replaces the default TeX roman font (CMR) by Trebuchet MS, instead of =20=
your having to write stuff like
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{trebuchet}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{trebuchet}{m}{n}
{<-> "Trebuchet\space MS"}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{trebuchet}{m}{it}
{<-> "Trebuchet\space MS\space Italic"}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{trebuchet}{b}{n}
{<-> "Trebuchet\space MS\space Bold"}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{trebuchet}{b}{it}
{<-> "Trebuchet\space MS\space Bold\space Italic"}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{trebuchet}{bx}{n}
{<-> ssub * trebuchet/b/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{trebuchet}{bx}{it}
{<-> ssub * trebuchet/b/it}{}
\renewcommand{\encodingdefault}{U}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{trebuchet}
The xunicode package, and the option [Mapping=3Dtex-text], add useful =20=
goodies to this:
- xunicode.sty takes accents and diacritics from the corresponding =20
Unicode slots in the font, instead of using the TeX construction of =20
these glyphs.
- The option [Mapping=3Dtex-text] deals similarly with ligatures like =20=
--, to convert them into the corresponding Unicode glyphs.
In particular, these two additions allows legacy TeX input files =20
(using \'e instead of =E9, and -- instead of =96), to be processed by =20=
XeLaTeX transparently.
If you run the input
\mathrm{Test}\qquad ax^2+bx+c
in LaTeXiT in pdfLaTeX mode, you'll get everything in Computer Modern =20=
fonts; in XeLaTeX mode, still with the default preamble, only the =20
word Test will be changed (it seems to be in the default OS X font, =20
Lucida Grande); it is only by replacing the line
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
in the preamble by
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{Trebuchet MS}
that you'll get what you expect, namely output using a font specified =20=
at will (here Trebuchet MS).

I'm not sure this will work: with the most recent gwTeX setup, /usr/=20
local/teTeX/texmf.cnf contains
% XeTeX
TEXINPUTS.xelatex =3D =
.;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xelatex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.xetex =3D .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,plain,generic,}//
telling that, with xelatex,
~/Library/texmf/tex/xelatex/
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/
~/Library/texmf/xetex/xelatex/
~/Library/texmf/xetex/latex/
will be searched, but not
~/Library/texmf/tex/xetex/
This is a change compared with older versions of gwTeX, which contained
% XeTeX
TEXINPUTS.xelatex =3D .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.xetex =3D .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,plain,generic,}//
a setting that is still present in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/=20=
texmf.cnf. Or am I wrong in believing that only /usr/local/teTeX/=20
texmf.cnf is read while /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf =20
is ignored? Are the two used, and if so which is the one that has =20
precedence?

The first one (/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf) read has precedence over
later ones. These kind of env entries behave differently from the size
enties, which I naver have been able to get picked up from
/usr/local/teTeX.

The best way to implement XeTeX (or XeLaTeX) as the engine is to do
1 pass
of
xelatex -no-pdf
then one of
xdv2pdf -papersize=3D, .xdv
Then remove any extraneous output files that are no longer needed.
This is less work than 2 calls to xelatex
(which makes the .xdv file anyway, then runs xdv2pdf and removes
the .xdv file once the .pdf has been made)
or 1 call to pdflatex then 1 of xelatex .

There are ways to test which engine is running the job:
pdfTeX , XeTeX or TeX+dvips+Ghostscript .
One way is to have your preamble check for the engine and
load appropriate packages, or package-options, accordingly.
Alternatively, you could have different preambles for the
different engines, then program the LaTeXiT shell to select
the correct one according to which engine is requested.
There is another optimisation that can be made too.
In the example code that was posted here a few days ago,
the LaTeXiT job ended with:
\geometry{paperwidth=3D\latexitwidth,paperheight=3D
\latexitheight,margin=3D0pt,left=3D0.000000 pt,top=3D0.000000 pt}
\begin{document}
\scalebox{\latexitscalefactor}{\usebox{\latexitbox}}%
\end{document}
This forces a call to LaTeX's \output routine,
which tries to build a full page including headers
and footers --- totally redundant for LaTeXiT .
Alternatively, you can ditch the geometry package altogether,
and use instead the \shipout primitive directly:
\begin{document}
{\voffset=3D-1truein \hoffset=3D-1truein
\ifpdf
\pdfpageheight=3D\latexitheight
\pdfpagewidth=3D\latexitwidth
\else
\special{papersize=3D\latexitheight,\latexitwidth}%
\fi
\shipout\vbox{\scalebox{\latexitscalefactor}{\usebox{\latexitbox}}}%
}%
\end{document}
Here we include support for 2 different engines,
assuming that \usepackage{ifpdf} is in the preamble.
Since there is nothing on the page, the \output routine
will exit quickly, leaving you with just the single page
produced by \shipout , sized correctly for its contents.

I hope these ideas help you to make a neat little program
even more efficient and effective.

Very interesting... I will have a deeper look as soon as possible.

Agreed... And indeed it is quite random. This morning I had problems =20

Yes, you might be right there. We're using my machine for numerical =20
modelling for our workgroup, so when a couple of models are run by =20
other users heavy processor load might also influence the PDF =20
previewing. Although with 8GB RAM this shouldn't worry too much. Will =20=
have a look into that.

Soory I gave the wrong URLs! It's so easy to retrieve the origin of a
downloaded file in Finders file inspector ..

It works here! Where do you put xunicode.sty that it survives a new
installation of XeTeX?
Here is some code for XeLaTeXiT.sh that works in some simple cases
pretty well:
#!/bin/sh
jobname=3Dlatexit-1
xelatex -no-pdf -file-line-error -interaction nonstopmode
${jobname}.tex
x=3D`grep Width ${jobname}.sizes | awk -F\( '{print $1}'`
y=3D`grep TotalHeight ${jobname}.sizes | awk -F\( '{print $1}'`
echo "$x x $y"
xdv2pdf -p $x,$y -o ${jobname}.pdf ${jobname}.xdv
The TeX source I used is the one Pierre gave here to test the
BoundingBoxes problem. The problems I've seen tonight appear when you
set formulae like
x =3D r^2 + \sum_{0}^{100} y^2
or
\frac{\partial}{\partial x} f(x,y) =3D \frac{\partial}{\partial y}
f(x,y) =3D 0
In these cases the height calculated and written to the sizes file are
only 70 or 60 % of the amount actually needed. There too is a little
problem with clipping that needs to be corrected in LaTeX. In the above
cases or in a simple a^2 + b^2 =3D c^2 the upper regions are cut off, for =
example some pixels in the upper arc of the 2 exponents (this can be
corrected with \addtolength{\latexitheight}{4.250000 pt} or some other
value). When I artificially enlarge $y for xdv2pdf it only happens that
the output window reaches deeper, not changing the clipping, as
observed in TeXShop. It looks as if LaTeX is missing some (negative)
offset for this 'window' ...

Howdy,
Unfortunately I think it's related to disk i/o which is where
Spotlight does its thing so lots of RAM may not solve it. Sigh... I
think Apple will have to update the kernel+ to fix this one. Hope
it's in 10.4.3!!! whenever that is coming out. Of course, what do I
know!?
Good Luck,
