I use Courier 24 as my font in emacs, and I have this in my .emacs (copied and pasted from an emacs-window, btw): (set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman) (prefer-coding-system 'mac-roman) (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec "-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-courier, ascii:-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-m-240-mac-roman, latin-iso8859-1:-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-m-240-mac- roman, mac-roman:-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-m-240-mac-roman, mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-m -240-mac-roman") (setq default-frame-alist '((width . 76) (height . 36) (font .

Very, very clunky. You'd be much better off using BibDesk. The utility of a BibTeX-based program (such as BibDesk) cannot be beaten. Having said that, Bookends is also a better bet than EndNote, both in general and for use with LaTeX. If you are concerned about being able to supply EnNote files to colleagues, you might consider Sente as a search and cataloging tool from which you export: BibTeX for BibDesk bibliographies for use with LaTeX and: EndNote files for co-workers who need that type of thing. This is how I work. hth, mark. [Disclaimer: I have not used EndNote 8, so its probably worth checking that there has not been a drammatic change that makes it a good choice for use with anything other than MSWord.] --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From mark at bbprojects.net Wed Dec 1 05:05:10 2004 From: mark at bbprojects.net (Mark Smith) Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 11:05:10 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] Endnote 8 In-Reply-To: <55DC50D4-437E-11D9-8DB3-000A95EFB88C@simifilm.ch> Message-ID: Simon Spiegel wrote: >It certainly is possible, but I'd strongly advise you not to use this >piece of crap that once was a really good app. Endnote allows BibDesk >export, so there's no problem in managing your database and then doing >a BibTeX export.

One caveat, the BibTeX export *was* lousy last time I tried it. There are some third party (free) solutions in the form of replacement styles and IIRC a python script, but you are much better off in terms of exporting BibTeX with Sente or Bookends. >Use BibDesk.

As for speed there is a small trick which I used to make "perceived" speed higher. the first time TeXniscope read a dvi document it translates to PDF only 10 pages or so around the current page (or the first then pages), after that it starts a background process to complete the translation of all the paper. This make the first page appear soon and usually this is what matters. I think it can be made at least 2 times faster if some strategy can be found to use TeX fonts in Quartz.... I'v tried the following strategy which partially works: I can make a PDF without embedding fonts (which takes a lot of time) then this PDF is passed to the rendering engine and it is drawn. Of course the system looks for the missing fonts and I provide the fonts in otf format to Quartz. This works partially but I cannot match the different encodings (I do not have enough knowledge) so mathematical fonts and other characters do not show up properly. I think this strategy can be made to work and it will improve the viewer speed by factor 2 (at least) in normal situations.

Aaah. Stupid me. If I repeat what you just did, I actually just get 2 results, and then it says that similar results have been omitted (but you can have them displayed if you follow the link). In addition, however, one will get an error message just below the search box saying (in this particular case) ""Digests" (and any subsequent words) was ignored because we limit queries to 10 words.". This is what made me think that the search had not worked. Well, I do not know if this is the way it is supposed to work, and I find it a little strange. But, in fact, it does work. Sorry.

I am a friend of darwinports: http://darwinports.opendarwin.org Unfortunately the updating of ports isn't very user-friendly yet (uninstall existing port, install new version). But besides that it is a great package manager. I used to have fink installed as well, but it had too many outdated packages at that time. On the darwinports list I read an interesting thread about package managers recently which I'd like to quote: "From a philosophical point of view ... DarwinPorts was designed so (and by) Mac OS X users would have easy access to Open Software; Fink was designed so (and by) Unix and Linux Open Software users would be able to run their programs on OS X. There is nothing inherently "better" about either approach, they are simply two different ways of approaching the same problem -- running Open Software on OS X." And an additional comment: "I'd rather say that Fink is the Linux approach, while DarwinPorts is the BSD-Unix approach to installing Software. dpkg comes from Debian, while the idea of a ports collection comes from FreeBSD;" I never used Gentoo on Mac OS X so I can't elaborate on that..

Sorry for the mind-reading exercise! Dragging a citation from EN to a Word document (saved as rtf) produces a link {Allik, 1970, Allik1970} in the rtf document. When done editing the rtf, I choose "RTF Document Scan" in Endnote, point to the rtf file, and it produces a new (renamed) rtf file that has all of the citations sorted properly and formatted in any style defined in Endnote. You do all the editing on the original rtf file containing just the links. That way there is no problem when you later edit the document and perhaps insert more citations. THIS feature is the only reason I keep EN around. One more time after clarification: Does anyone know of a good workaround for this?

One more time >after clarification: Does anyone know of a good workaround for this? OK. As far as I am aware, these temporary citations are not really links as such, but that's beside the point. This style of working is available (in OS X) with both EndNote and Bookends in most WP apps. (I'm assuming that you know how BibTeX works and are aware that exactly this style of working is available with a .tex file and e.g. BibDesk.) I'm still not clear whether you are trying to avoid EndNote and continue using Word or whether you are just looking for a general solution for managing citations and formatting bibliographies in rtf files. If I *had* to work with rtf files in this way *today*, I'd go for Bookends and use it with Mellel. The two together are cheaper than an EndNote 8 upgrade (I think) and both seem like more attractive and safer apps than their counterparts in Word and EndNote. 0.02, mark. --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From gray at engr.psu.edu Wed Dec 1 14:59:40 2004 From: gray at engr.psu.edu (Gary L.

I don't use web of science much at all, because I can get nearly everything I need via PubMed and have a remote assistant who gets me the full texts as PDFs or printouts at the University library which I can't get online. However... have you looked at Sente ? It does a nice BibTeX export. You can set up custom data sources and it may well work with Web of Science. Might be worth a try.

Fantastic (and they almost work)! I am downloading ISI formatted references from Web of Science and then converting them to .bib files in the following manner: (1) ./isi2xml ISIformat.txt > pippo.xml (2) ./xml2bib pippo.xml > pippo.bib Unfortunately, the .xml file is not properly getting the author names and so the .bib file does not have the "and" between the names. For example, the ISI authors look like: AU Costanzo, F Gray, GL Andia, PC and then the .xml authors look like: F Gray, GL Andia, PC Costanzo author so that the .bib authors come out as: AUTHOR="Costanzo, F. Gray GL Andia PC", which isn't correct (no "and").

There, at the left edge, the encoding of a buffer is listed. Make it equal to that in TeXShop etc and see what comes out. Ahem, probably an encoding ending in '-unix' (line endings) should be chosen.

At one time, Johan Kool had some mostly-working code to integrate BibDesk with Mellel, using it to scan an RTF document and build a formatted reference list. I'm not sure what the status of his code is, but it may be a possibility in the future. -- Adam --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From sw at wordtech-software.com Wed Dec 1 23:28:33 2004 From: sw at wordtech-software.com (Kevin Walzer) Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 23:28:33 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] DarwinPorts/package managers, and which do you prefer: htlatex or latex2html?

I fully agree that DarwinPorts is a powerful package manager, but it's not user-friendly. To help rectify that, I'm working on a GUI for DarwinPorts written in Tcl/Tk. It's not ready for release yet, but here's a screenshot: http://wiki.tcl.tk/12786 One of the interesting things about DarwinPorts is that they use DocBook for their documentation, so I'm learning that. I wish they were more receptive to LaTeX, because I've spent a lot of time learning LaTeX, and it's *so* much better managed/integrated on OS X, with better tools. There's *nothing* to compare to TexShop or iTexMac or even TexMaker, let alone a centrally maintained DocBook toolchain distro like Gerben's TeX packages. (DarwinPorts and Fink both support DocBook, but I haven't been able to get either one to work; perhaps I'm too dumb.) I'm using a freeware XML/DocBook editor to generate HTML documentation, but forget generating PDF--setting up a DocBook PDF workflow on OS X is *painful.* If I could stick with LaTeX + latex2html (the navigation links produced by htlatex are too funky for my tastes) I'd be a happy camper.

That's good news. A further note on BibDesk: you can use its "Open Using Filter..." menu item to import files from Web of Science directly into BibDesk using isi2xml or other shell commands. You'll get a standard open panel with a text field labeled "Filter Shell Command" near the bottom; in the text field, enter '/usr/local/bin/isi2xml | /usr/local/bin/xml2bib' (no quotes, and substitute /usr/local/bin/* for the paths on your system). Select your isi file, and click the "Open" button. I'm copying the bibdesk-users mailing list on this, since this feature is apparently undocumented, although it's been part of the program for years. hth, Adam --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From jerome.laurens at u-bourgogne.fr Thu Dec 2 02:06:11 2004 From: jerome.laurens at u-bourgogne.fr (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?J=E9r=F4me_Laurens?=) Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2004 08:06:11 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] decimal numbers in Applescript In-Reply-To: <5410D84E-42F9-11D9-8669-000D9330E6F8@math.uni-heidelberg.de> References: <575E3A18-42F4-11D9-8669-000D9330E6F8@math.uni-heidelberg.de> <7C577B44-42F5-11D9-80AB-000A95D4AA04@igo.com.mx> <5410D84E-42F9-11D9-8669-000D9330E6F8@math.uni-heidelberg.de> Message-ID: Le 30 nov. 04, ? 18:57, Claus Gerhardt a ?crit : > My efforts of writing a little Applescript application that can rival > Textures flash mode - in conjunction with an excellent pdf viewer like > TeXniscope - have been successful.

This meant if you were connected to another Mac, or to a FireWire disk, for example, also containing Gerben's teTeX install, and you did anything (deleting, modifying content) to the symlink /Library/teTeX on that Mac or disk, then you were actually modifying /usr/local/teTeX on your Mac, not on the distant Mac or FireWire disk. In another context, Martin had in this way, by deleting a symlink in a FireWire disk, deleted a whole multi-gigabytes directory on his Mac. Trying to be clearer, imagine you are browsing a disk or distant Mac named "Remote" from a Mac named "Local"; then the significance of the symlinks /Library/teTeX on the two volumes were: Local/Library/teTeX -> /usr/local/teTeX = Local/usr/local/teTeX Remote/Library/teTeX -> /usr/local/teTeX = Local/usr/local/teTeX Gerben was planning to change this so that: Local/Library/teTeX -> ../usr/local/teTeX = Local/usr/local/teTeX Remote/Library/teTeX -> ../usr/local/teTeX = Remote/usr/local/teTeX It may be Gerben has indeed made the change (I'm lagging a few gwTeX versions behind), and what you see is indeed a manifestation of it. By the way, I think sudo ln -s ../usr/local/teTex teTeX should be sudo ln -s ../usr/local/teTeX teTeX (capital X).

There are some packages that allow you to include a movie, I believe the same packages also work for audio-files, but you might need QuickTime to convert the mp3 to a movie-file without images. I don't think the source is on CTAN, but Google finds it anyway: http://robotics.caltech.edu/~radford/easymovie.sty The resulting file will only play in Adobe Reader.

At first I need to admit, that I haven't done too much testing with LaTeX2HTML. I tried various solutions to convert tex to html and I found one solution (LaTeX2HTML?) quite ok except the fact that it didn't know how to handle some included packages... > Perl is very flexible indeed, so should pose no real problem. I like Perl very much, so I'd like to use that for conversion, but somehow htlatex seems a little mor eadequate right now. The main reason is, that I use specific styles or classes that are processed in htlatex and I haven't tried this in LaTeX2HTML yet. How does LaTeX2HTML approach the conversion process? Does it take the tex source file and access the installed .sty and .cls files as well, or does it take a .dvi file?

If you are using \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} in your documents will have trouble with ligatures when using TeX4ht (htlatex). This probably has something to do with T1 encoding, but I don't know that. I just comment all of font-related control sequences before running htlatex, then uncomment when done. --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From gray at engr.psu.edu Thu Dec 2 11:40:17 2004 From: gray at engr.psu.edu (Gary L.

In the PP4LaTeX script change the postprocessor path from "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/ppower4/ppower4p" to "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/ppower4" (all on a single line) and that worked for me.

No, I have a recent release of TL2004, earlier releases indeed installed a non-working version of ppower4. After I had some off-line communication with Gerben he fixed it, and currently it should work out of the box. So I am still interested in the strange results the OP reported, it might tell me what's going on. The current script relies on the following command kpsewhich -progname=java -format='other binary files' pp4p.jar to return the path to the pp4p.jar file, /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/java/ppower4/pp4p.jar on my system. > Can I get the package with the ppower4p script again? It /really/ is in the TL2004 package, and is within the default search path, so please try to run it from the terminal. If you're referring to teh TeXShop script: I've stopped using that one a long time ago.

Indeed, ppower4, as described above, is along the normal path; it is ppower4p that no longer exists and doesn't appear to be needed. My suggestion just substituted the ppower4 command for the ppower4p command.

The current release uses the current version of p^4 (pp4p.jar). To the ppower4p script from older gwTeX releases is replaced by ppower4 (but both use the latest release of the software).

If it's possible, I'm unaware of it. The emacs key bindings in Cocoa only go so far. The closest I can think of is Shift- which extends the selection one letter at a time, and Shift-Option-, which extends by words.

Oh dear! A second question. How do I scroll one page of text in either bbedit or texshop (or it seems any mac program at all)? I can't get C-v or ESC-v to work. Even worse using page up/down scrolls the view, but leaves the cursor at the original postion.

Usually through option-down arrow (option is the Mac name for the 'alt' key). You should also try to play with the combinations command-arrow, shift-arrow, command-shift-arrow and option-shift-arrow in several directions. I'm unaware of a command-option-arrow combination that does anything in particular, but hey, it never hurts (but try it on something you have a backup of).

Mike Ferris' TextExtras bundle gives you this functionality and much more if you install the DefaultKeyBinding.dict (be sure to read the documentation/warnings before doing this).

I created a text file ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict with the following code: { "^ " = "setMark:"; "^v" = "pageUp:"; "~v" = "pageDown:"; } I've found plenty of sites that all suggest these bindings (and many others) would do the trick.

This is the way how XeTeX works (its extended-DVI to PDF converter xdv2pdf, actually) but that currently comes at a price in terms of speed, precisely. For example, a document of mine, containing several relatively large images (JPEG files), compiles in, say, 15 seconds in pdfTeX and more than a minute in XeTeX. I've got a 17" PowerBook, with graphic card having 64 Mb of RAM. Generally, when I compile in XeTeX I can hear the fan functioning, whereas with pdfTeX it mostly keeps quiet. So yes, leaving the resource-consuming tasks to Quartz would seem like the logical thing to do, but one has to be ready for the demands this may set in terms of resources; like going for the highest-RAM graphic card, etc. In any case, from user experience I'm not sure about the real optimization inside Quartz: compare for example the relative speeds of converting a PS file to PDF using Ghostscript's /usr/local/bin/ps2pdf (used for example by TeXShop) and OS X's /usr/bin/pstopdf (used for example by Preview.app). Please don't misunderstand me: I'm not against this philosophy at all, I'm indeed a fan of XeTeX and all for using as much elements of the OS as possible instead of external additions. But I think this means currently slower and less compatible output, not the other way round. I'm willing to pay this price (I wouldn't be using a Mac instead of a PC otherwise), but other people may not. > The best way would be to force pdflatex not to embed fonts (so output > is smaller, no font subsetting is necessary and fonts can be loaded > once for all in the viewer). But then forget about the ability to collaborate with people, to send PDF files to them, to submit papers electronically. (Exactly what Peter Dyballa just wrote, I realize.) Doing that would, I think, just alianate the whole academic community to TeX, and this is precisely where it comes from.

That's a good example of how Apple has in many ways crippled the NeXT UI. I habitually tear off my ``Windows'' sub-menu in NeXTstep when working w/ more than one or two windows in an app --- this allows one one-click access to any window. Very nice.

Just think about TeXture: we should have tools optimized for the usual revision loop (modify-compile-view) and then tools to distill device-independent representation of the output. the dvi format was (and is) a very smart solution since rely on the fact that the viewer knows the fonts. I agree also that if one wants to use fine typographical tools (like font protrusion) then this does not work and fonts can be embedded by TeX (or the font protrusion algorithm extended to the viewer...). there are many points that I did addressed. I do not say that computing power is not useful, quite the contrary, that we are wasting or just misusing the huge computing power we have. As far as Quartz optimization, Bruno noticed that Apple PS distiller is very slow and I agree with him. But I also think that Apple does not care very much about this detail and maybe it just implemented a quick feature (like the first Help System). I'm just amazed by the speed of the internal PDF rendered (note that each time you change a page in Preview, the next page is composed real-time on screen). On the other side I made some experiments tracing the execution of dvipdfm and noticed that (for mathematical document of 10-20 pages without figures) at least half of the time is spent in reading Type1 font files, decompressing them, subsetting, recompressing, and including in the PDF.... From this I conclude that there is a margin for a net improvement of performances without any drawback (if we exclude maybe font-protusion). (random thoughts from a frustrated programmer....)

Thanks. Did you install the ~/Library/InputManager/TextExtras and ~/Library/Application Support/TextExtras folders? Reboot isn't necessary; quitting/relaunching an open application is sufficient for it to pick up the changes.

You might want to take a look at the list archives and find a thread called "how to handle window-mania?" (which started on October, 14th). I posted a very similar to this list and I ended up using Expos? a lot more and becoming familiar with DesktopManager ( http://wsmanager.sourceforge.net/ ). I'd still love to see TeXShop being able to color windowbackground of all the windows of one document in a certain color so Expos? were easier to handle..

I'd remove it (i.e., move it, not delete it at first), run `sudo texhash' from the Terminal (you'll have to enter your admin password), and try it out. If it still works throw out that directory.

There is disagreement on the list as to whether it is kind to suggest pstricks to someone new. I'm of the side that finds its consistency nice. It's very similar to the picture environment, but allows for more growth. \pdftricks should work, too. There is a lot of power in them. The repeat placements I've shown can be done from within the picture environment, too, but I can't remember the syntax off the top of my head. I can't remember how many points to a centimeter; I'll just use 1cm instead of 36pt to keep things looking the same; \pstricks uses cm by default. You could do: \usepackage{pstricks} \usepackage{multips} \begin{pspicture}(1,1) \multips(0,0)(1.2,0){5}{\psframe(1,1)} \multips(0,0)(1.2,0){5}{\psline[linethickness=2pt](1,0)(1,1)} \psline(-.2,-1.4)(3.6,-1.4) \end{pspicture} The \multips commands both place a figure at (0,0), then repeatedly to the right by 1.2 cm until 5 have been drawn. (I believe you made 5 boxes.) \psframe builds a box with the specified lower left and upper right corners (the default lower left is (0,0), as used above). \psline is similar to \line. I would recommend setting picture and pspicture sizes to encompass your figures entirely. That way LaTeX will control the flow of material around the drawings instead of through them. As for the operators: \rput(x,y){\HUGE{$\times$}} where x and y are the coordinates. You could replace "\times" with "+" or "-" or any other symbol you'd like. I hope that helps and maybe gives you some new ideas.

In the past I had my own copy of unicode stuff to be added to gwTeX, these days I draw it from TL (so theTL2003 setup gets the newer unicode stuff). I do this with other packages to, so TL2003 is basically TL2003 but some stuff (especially in the texmf tree) is newer. This generally is only an improvemen (see TL2003 as TL2003+). This problem is not very easy for me to solve and is the first time I run into a problem with new+old which may force me to complicate the TeX i-Package a bit more...

The choices you get in expert mode are remembered. So, if you select to have a certain combo installed, one reinstall you will get the same choices again. There is not intelligence in i-Installer to only unpack the archive parts that have been changed. A download will only download what has bene changed, but an install will install what you have selected. So: downloading is 'smart' but installing is not. It would be difficult to implement smart-unarchiving in the current i-Installer because archive parts may overlap (e.g. the document part installs *inside* the basic foundation part. There are more complexities. I have not tuned all i-Packages, configures etc to their limit (no time). Robustness comes first (and even there sometimes something goes wrong, see the thread on utf8.def). Speed comes second.

There is no package, although there may have been at one time. I use pstricks on a regular basis. It is my favorite drawing program after trying xy-pic and metapost, both of which are fine programs. I've found that I could get the kinds of drawing I want with less work (at least for me) but of the same quality. I have used pdftricks, but just a little. Most of my code is still in pstricks and must be compiled using TeX and Ghostscript. I will probably begin using pdftricks on a regular basis after I finish with a current project that I began writing with pstricks to take advantage of the fine microtype features of pdftex.

I've been playing around with pstricks a little, mostly the circuit drawing module. As far as using pdftricks, there's nothing you need to do in order to get your pstricks figures to work with pdflatex, other than enclosing each pspicture inside a pdfdisplay environment. The pdftricks package creates separate tex files for each pspicture and then runs them through latex and converts them into pdf files before including them back into the original document. There should be no issues of compatibility. One thing I did notice though, is that there are some font issues. For example, if I use mathptm all the text and math are in times, but the axis numbers displayed by psgrid are in helvetica. I asked comp.text.tex about this and the pstricks developer sent me a fix. It's on the official pstricks web site if you ever need to see it. That's what I call service! --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From herbs at wideopenwest.com Fri Dec 3 23:31:21 2004 From: herbs at wideopenwest.com (Herb Schulz) Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2004 22:31:21 -0600 Subject: [OS X TeX] I had a bad font.

The TeX concept that unlocks this problem is the distinction between \hskip and \hglue . The former is removeable (e.g. at the beginning of new lines), but the latter is not. LaTeX's \hspace is defined using \hskip, not \hglue, which is partly why you are having trouble. In most list-like environments, register-values and definitions made immediately after the \begin{....} will stay in effect for the whole of the environment. So try something like: \begin{itemize} \def\indent{\hglue .3cm}% \item .......... \item .......... \indent .......... \end{itemize} After the environment has closed, \indent will revert to its default value as a TeX primitive.

I had tried yesterday night (it's "early" -- 9:00 am -- in France by now) for some more time to figure out what could cause the error messages you got, but had finally given up. Years ago there was on this list a thread re. a problem with Lucida fonts, and it also turned out to be a damaged font file LucidNewMatSymDem (thread "Lucida Font Problems with teTeX and TeXShop..." at ). The moral of the story: for owners of additional fonts shipped on floppies, to make ASAP disk images of the floppies (when getting hold of an external floppy drive) and save them on CD (especially for MathTime and Lucida, in the absence of customer support for them, the company Y&Y selling them having run out of business).

Message-ID: I apologize for my previous lapse in mailing list etiquitte (replying to a current thread with a new topic). Luckily, I was set straight by a helpful member of the list! My previous post is repeated below. Thanks! _______________________ Hello all, (I'm new to the list so if this question is inappropriate, please let me know!) I was wondering if it is possible to control the headers on float pages? More specifically, due to format requirements on my thesis, I need to have each table on its own page immediately following the text page on which it is described. I was able to work that out with some great help from the TeX FAQ. My new issue is that when I push my floats to their own page I would like just the float pages to have \pagestyle{plain} instead of the customized fancyhdrs of the text page they are called in. is this possible?

(1) I tried Gerhardt's suggestion. At first, I thought there was a typo and I wrote \hskip{.1in} instead of \hskip .1in which he had suggested. Of course, he was right: his works, mine doesn't. But what kind of syntax is that? A quick look at Companion (2 ed) didn't bring an answer. (2) I tried Schulz's solution \hspace*{3mm} which of course also works but why is it "a bit more ``LaTeX.''"? (3) I adopted Moore's solution because by incorporating the line \def\indent{\hglue .3cm}% in the macro I use to set the asparaenum, I will ensure that all my "occasional" indents will be the same without having to rely on my failing memory. But why the % at the end? It seems to work without it. (4) And while I am at it, why does \; create a vspace instead of the hspace I expected?

Anyone wanna point me to such a readme? Don't bother with the letter document class (the documentation is in Lamport's book, if you're really curious). The Letter class is inflexible, delivers rather ugly letters, and there are better options out there. The KOMA class bundle has several letter variants, all of them easily customisable. CTAN has several others, including an old set by the NTG (the dutch branch of the TUG). This is the one I use (brief.cls). I believe a previous edition of Kopka and Daly had an example of how to use and customise the letter class, but I don't know if it is still in the current edition.

If you switch focus from the Find window to the source document window, then the highlighting color will be correct. Unfortunately (in this case, anyway), the OS changes highlights in non-focused windows to the default light grey. Try searching the archives for "texshop highlight"; I think this was discussed before.

KOMA-script is installed, and the NTG classes are installed as well. The documentation is an optional install with the i-Installer, but if you have chosen to install it, you can access the documentation with "texdoc scrguien" in a terminal. With most classes getting the documentation is easy ("texdoc geometry" will give you the documentation of the very practical geometry package), but the KOMA bundle has given the documentation somewhat obscure names. I would advise you to browse through the /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.*/doc/latex directories. They contain the interesting bits as far as documentation of add-on packages is concerned.

Simply delete these custom files config.ps and pdftex.cfg and then run, in Terminal: sudo updmap --enable Map dayroman.map This will update all the necessary config files for dvips, pdftex and dvipdfm, inside the directory /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/, in such a way that will survive future gwTeX reinstalls, modifications, etc. Creating custom config.ps and pdftex.cfg inside ~/Library/texmf/ would take precedence over those maintained by the various scripts inside gwTeX. In particular, the various configurations run by the Configure stage of the TeX i-Package would no longer work as expected, or work but be ignored (since your custom config.ps and pdftex.cfg would be used during TeX runs, instead of those maintained by the Configure stage). The readme file included with the fonts applies to TeX as shipped in TeXLive, I think, but not to teTeX which is used as the basis for gwTeX (Gerben Wierda's install of TeX for OS X).

When I switch focus, the color of the highlight turns into that in System Preferences, not that of the Find panel. In fact, I cannot get the color of the find panel to ever show up.

Where is it hiding? It's part of the TeX install - if you choose "Expert" you get a choice to install it. I think it's not installed by default coz it's rather large. If you have it installed, the (English) KOMA Script docs are located at /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/koma-script/scrguien.pdf But for simple stuff, you might be able to copy the example template in TeXShop to get you started.

Simplest suggestion: define a macro \newcommand\Letter[3] {\begin{letter} ... \end{letter}% } that takes the info as arguments, then go \Letter{Me}{Home}{Lazy} \Letter{Mom}{Old Country}{Missing me} ... Not that great for 300 or 3000, though. (Nonetheless, there are procedures to have TeX read external files, etc; TeX is, after all, a programming language.) For labels, put a \makelabels before \begin{document}, and the addresses used in the letters will be gathered and printed nicely at the end. All this assumes the standard letter class. -- Alex --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From rosinski at math.utk.edu Sun Dec 5 11:06:51 2004 From: rosinski at math.utk.edu (Jan Rosinski) Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2004 11:06:51 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] switcher In-Reply-To: <35213.74150@email.esm.psu.edu> References: <35213.74150@email.esm.psu.edu> Message-ID: I use Expose all the time but with 9+ windows opened in TeXShop it becomes difficult, when you need to switch a lot of times.

Each MO has a bounding box that is 2 "units" wide and 2 "units" high. Unfortunately, those units are not equal to one another. The easiest way to see this is with a picture. Say the bounding box of your MO is shown below: --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | |-------------------(0,0)-------------------| | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------------------- Each MO has its own local set of coordinates and the center of the MO is at the coordinates (0,0).

If anyone knows different, I'd welcome the secret. You want a vector PICT, or else a Windoze-generated EMF; forget about it (although I've heard that Keynote will give you the former when it exports to PowerPoint). There have been numerous discussions on the OmniGraffle users mailing list about getting PDF graphics to look good in Word in print and on-screen, and the only solution presented at the moment is a) use a high-res bitmap or b) embed a high-res bitmap in an EPS.

For me (I am using OO to write excerpts from scientific texts) there are many small changes that have made the workflow much easier: OO3 has a quite clever system of styles for the different text levels and something like "structural markup", wich make it quite easy to create nice systematic outlines. The interface now is very logical, but it may not be very self-explanatory (at least I needed some time to understand it ...). There are also big improvements for attachments, but I am not using these. And, OO3 has become much more responsive. Many of these improvements are things which should have been in OO2 already, and I am not sure if the update is worth the heavy price, but for me OO3 is a really valuable tool. But why don't you just have a look at the public beta (only for the "non-professional" version now, but IIRC there will be a public beta of the full product as well soon)?

I've used Omni2 some for outlines for lecture notes and liked it. To me, the main difference between 3(Beta) and 2 is that in the Beta version, some of the items on the Toolbar in 2 have been moved to an Action Icon that seems very "Pantherlike" (i.e.like the difference in Jaguar's and Panther's Finder windows). Also, there is an Inspector pallete that works a lot like Keynote's for fonts and other things, as well as the row and column attributes. The default pallete has: Appearance, Row, Column Type, Document, Style Attributes. There is an "Attach" feature too, but I haven't tried it yet. As to whether it's worth a "steep" upgrade. Of course there are several perspectives and factors. They have academic pricing, and if you got a copy of OmniOutliner bundled on your Mac, you can upgrade that one. I actually did this for OmniGraffle and went up to OminGraffle Pro -- I think I got a GREAT deal for a great program.

Using pdfsync plus Tom Kiffe's BBEdit plug-ins makes this a wonderful set-up. (I know Claus Gerhardt also has worked on this integration, but I happened to try Tom's efforts first.) Anyway, I turned on synchronization mark viewing in TeXniscope and discovered that I was not getting marks for every paragraph. Here is a sample document that demonstrates the problem. Note that I am not using the "nopar" option to pdfsync, so the paragraphs should be marked. \documentclass[10pt]{article} \usepackage{pdfsync} \begin{document} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nam auctor, magna dictum sodales viverra, dolor orci rhoncus felis, ut porttitor orci tellus in augue. Nam suscipit, wisi et bibendum dapibus, dui erat tempor lacus, id pharetra erat odio ac velit. Sed condimentum pharetra libero. Morbi wisi. Etiam porttitor, sapien et volutpat vehicula, lacus ante adipiscing ligula, a tempor turpis turpis in magna. Maecenas mauris justo, laoreet nec, elementum eu, malesuada id, diam. \end{document} I did some experimenting and discovered a couple of things. One is that if I add the following lines after the "\begin{document}", then the synchronization marks appear at the start of each paragraph: \makeatletter \everypar{\@PDFSYNC} \makeatother However, I'm just experimenting with a simple document and suspect that using \everypar might be problematic with a more complicated structure. The other thing that I tried was tweaking pdfsync.sty to see why it wasn't inserting marks at the paragraphs. I changed line 135 (of verison 0.6, dated Jan. 31, 2004) from: \global\let\PDFSYNC at par\@@par\gdef\@@par{\PDFSYNC at par\@PDFSYNC}\fi% to \global\let\PDFSYNC at par\@@par\gdef\@@par{\error\PDFSYNC at par\@PDFSYNC}\fi % where \error was undefined. When I typeset my document I don't get any error messages, indicating to me that \@@par isn't being used by LaTeX. I also inserted a \makeatletter\show\@@par\makeatother in the document, and \@@par is definitely being defined according to my changes. My questions: Is there something broken in pdfsync's use of a redefinition of \@@par to accomplish paragraph marks? (I have Kopka and Daly, 4th ed., and The Companion, 2nd ed., but I don't have Lamport, which I suspect might be illuminating.) I see that prior to version 0.6, pdfsync redefined \par instead. Am I asking for trouble using \everypar{\@PDFSYNC}? If not, would it be better if pdfsync used that? Thanks!

I cannot believe that it is only "us" that (a) like it, but more importantly (b) are able to implement it.

Just an 0.02, but it is exactly this focus on named styles which really turned me off with OO3. (I was on the beta program from the off.) It would have been far more useful if means were introduced in OO3 which could have eased the mapping of Outline structure (not style) to to e.g. LaTeX and/or DocBook structure. (I know there are issues and limitations.) The named style approach lends itself well to exporting to e.g. Word or InDesign. The app looks and feels very nice, the AppleScript support has improved and there is support for attaching most useful file types, so it might well be worth looking at for these, but I can't see how the styles implementation lends itself to use for preparing LaTeX snippets - IMO one would be far better off using the hierarchy of the outline to map to LaTeX structure, than trying to work with the styles. 0.02, mark. --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From chabotd at globetrotter.net Mon Dec 6 07:23:04 2004 From: chabotd at globetrotter.net (Denis Chabot) Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 13:23:04 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] pdf graphic too new to be included Message-ID: <9439E8EA-4781-11D9-ACE3-00050279D82B@globetrotter.net> Hi, When I work on my old PowerBook G3 Series running Jaguar (vintage 1998, forbidden by Apple to update to Panther), the version of Preview that it runs does not allow me to crop pdf graphics.

Although Acrobat supports it - and only in version 6, IIRC - I believe that Ghostscript 8.33 is just starting to support embedded jpeg2000 files, so you might want to be careful. The short answer is: No, there is no direct support. Depending on the type of image your alternative options are jpeg (mainly for photographs) or png (scanned line art), and of course the vector formats.

Yeah, JPEG2000 is PDF1.5 only, so only Acrobat 6 supports it at the moment, this will change with Tiger. > I haven't tried it personally, but I believe Quicktime claims to > support JPEG2000, and in that case it ought to work in Xe(La)TeX as > well. YMMV. Quicktime has actually been supporting for quite a while, and it's a shame that this format hasn't seen a wider adoption since its compression results are really astonishing.

If you are using the OgreKit Find/Replace (which has some minor bugs but mostly works) you can use regular expressions in your find and replace. Not only that, but it remembers recently used find and replace texts; there are drop down menus for the find and replace fields. At least you don't have to retype complicated find and replace text all the time but you do have to choose them separately.

Actually I *did* use another editor: AlphaX/TK. There I got used to what Alpha calls "filters" - lists of (regex) find/replace operations that can be edited by the user. So for "cleaning" the rtf2latex2e output and editing a TeX book I wrote filters with about 20 to 50 find/replace operations. Obviously this is a quite unique feature for editors?! But currently I am experimenting with a rtf->xml->tex workflow. And editing a "raw" xml file (coming from OpenOffice's sxw format) is impossible in Alpha: OSX's rainbow ball is turning and turning and doesn't stop anymore. That's why I looking for an alternative and came to TeXShop's editor. But if someone knows another way on how to work with "filters" (regex find/replace collections), please tell.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be possible to use .pfb fonts directly (I'm considering some "indirect" approaches), and if one does the simplest type of .pfb->.otf conversion with a tool such as FontForge, it's difficult for an OS X app to determine the default encoding vector in the original .pfb.

I also experimented with FontForge (using the symbolic encoding: .ttf.sym ) but I had problems with encoding. (Indeed as far as I understand, when the font it is loaded it is understood as a unicode font even if the encoding is not correct). Maybe it is possible to write FontForge scripts to produce on the fly (like PK bitmaps) the needed fonts.

For example perl -p -e 's/original/replacement/g' *.tex would replace all occurrences of 'original' with 'replacement' in all the files *.tex. The find and replace strings can be regular expressions and so this can be very powerful.

Don't know this tool, but you have options. If you want GUI, you could use an editor like Smultron (there may be other free GUI editors with multidoc search and replace with grep) or one of the GUI Emacs versions. There are also the various CLI tools. I figured that somebody has put a simple GUI on grep and a quick check turned up these: Neither is free, but neither costs much mark. --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From gerhardt at math.uni-heidelberg.de Mon Dec 6 13:47:02 2004 From: gerhardt at math.uni-heidelberg.de (Claus Gerhardt) Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 19:47:02 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] Flashmode Message-ID: <381459AA-47B7-11D9-8669-000D9330E6F8@math.uni-heidelberg.de> Flashmode is avalaible for download from http://www.math.uni-heidelberg.de/studinfo/gerhardt/tex/ The download envelope contains Flashmode-Scripts.zip and my PGP signature for this archive. Below is a copy of the ReadMe file. Enjoy. Claus Flashmode 1.0 Installation: The application(s) have to be placed in the Applications Folder, such the path to Flashmode has the form /Applications/Flashmode.app, otherwise it will not work. The Flashmode-Scripts folder can be placed anywhere. Requirements: Flashmode requires only a fairly complete tetex installation, preferably Gerben Wierda's distribution, BBEdit v.7, or better, as editor and TeXniscope v. 0.3.3, or better, by Massimiliano Gubinelli as pdf viewer. No further tex scripts are necessary, though they might be helpful, e.g., TeX-Scripts-BBEdit, see below for some important information in this regard. Hardware: On a G5 at 2.5GHz it is a really joy running Flashmode, while it is a bit slow on a old G4 at 500MHz. Usage: Flashmode enables simultaneous typesetting as Textures did and still does in classic mode. When Flashmode is started, it looks for the front most document in BBEdit, gets its path and after that it is hooked for ever to this document as long as it stays open, i.e., a few split seconds after Flashmode has started the front most document in BBedit could be anything without doing any harm. Then Flashmode checks in regular intervals (default is 0.5 sec), the length of which is user definable, if its tex document has been modified, and if so, it initiates a save, a pdflatex run, and asks TeXniscope to refresh the front most pdf. The pdf has to be opened once by other means, which is completely unproblematic. An important feature is that tex syntax errors don't cause any error messages or disruptions of any kind, i.e., the pdf gets never corrupted, at least the pdf viewer is never aware of it, and the last refreshment is always visible; the pdf viewer will never complain. Thus, the user never gets any error messages; the presence of errors can only be deduced from the pdf window which then doesn't change any more; of course the errors will be reported in the log file and can be looked up. When the tex document is unmodified, Flashmode stays put in the background with very little CPU load: on my machine the total load would be 200% and the idle Flashmode has about 2.7%, i.e., Flashmode can stay open as long as one wishes without any bad side effects. Only when one wants to run a different tex document in Flashmode, then it has to quit first, or one of the copies has to be started. While Flashmode is active, the source document can be typeset independently by other scripts or commands, especially other tex tools like bibtex can be run without any interference by Flashmode. Important: Flashmode will detect only unsaved modifications of the tex file, i.e., don't save your document manually, if Flashmode is supposed to act. Changing the settings: Flashmode is an application bundle, i.e., you can open its contents by control clicking on its icon. Inside the Contents Folder is a folder Preferences containing a file "Settings". There you can change the length of the checking interval by entering a numeric value at the appropriate place. If you are entering a decimal number use the format of your system, i.e., write 0.4 or 0,4 whatever is your system's format. Changing the typesetting engines: Flashmode's typesetting is done by a shell script 'flashmode' in the Contents of Flashmode, /Applications/Flashmode.app/Contents/bin. 'flashmode' simply runs 'pdflatex' with some additional options. If you want to run another typesetting engine, you could replace 'pdflatex', if you wanted, though, I would recommend to use one of three copies of Flashmode, e.g., Flashmode_one, for this kind of endeavour. Flashmode_alt uses the typesetting command 'altpdflatex' with some options. This command is supposed to be changed to 'simpdftex latex --maxpfb' in later versions of tex. If this will be the case, then you can simply change the command. Beware not to replace the file, but only the command, because, as a shell script, it has to be executable. Interaction with TeXniscope: Fix TeXniscope's window in the left half of your screen and BBEdit's window in the right, then you can see both, if other applications are hidden. In TeXniscope's preferences set Edit command: /Applications/Flashmode.app/Contents/bin/bbeditc Editor arguments : +%line '%file' Then synchronization TeXniscope --> BBEdit is be possible, if the package pdfsync is loaded. The reverse synchronization BBEdit --> TeXniscope is done by an Applescript 'sync', which is included. It works without using the package pdfsync - only the package color has to be loaded: place the cursor in the line of your source document, you are interested in, and run 'sync' (preferable via a shortcut key), then the pdf window will display the exact page, and in the line corresponding to your line in the source file, you will see the word 'sync' printed in red. Root files: If you have a master file and several slave files which are read by an '\include' or '\input' statement, then you can work with these slave files and Flashmode will typeset the corresponding master file, if its relative path is given within the first three lines of the slave document in the form %SourceDoc 'relative path' e.g., like %SourceDoc ./master.tex The 'sync' script will also work when applied to the slave files with the only catch that the '\includeonly' command must not be used, i.e., the master file must read all slave files. If this is the case, then the 'sync' script will also take care of possible differences between the page numbering of the pdf file and the page numbering of the document, and it will open the exact page one has chosen. When the '\includeonly' is active, one should use the script 'sync_include_only' in conjunction with the package pdfsync. The pdf file is then displayed at a page very close to the exact page and one should look for the the word 'sync' written in red. Working with several documents: If several documents should be controlled by Flashmode, then each document has to be controlled by a different copy of Flashmode - there are five included. All copies, except Flashmode_alt, use pdlatex for typesetting, though of course the engines can be changed by the user, as described above. If, accidentally, one document is controlled by two copies of Flashmode, then this will probably cause erratic behaviour from TeXniscope. Debugging: Flashmode is silent, i.e., it doesn't complain when errors occur. Therefore each Flashmode copy is accompanied by a corresponding debug version, that has the same functionality as the silent copy except that errors are reported. The debug versions are no application bundles, instead they use the shell scripts and preferences of the silent applications. TeX-Scripts-BBEdit: TeX-Scripts-BBEdit 2.0 do not know about TeXniscope. If TeXniscope should be the previewer, then add its name to the corresponding scripts --set previewer to "TeXShop" set previewer to "TeXniscope" --set previewer to "Acrobat 6.0.1 Professional" --set previewer to "Preview" and replace the subroutine 'preview_bbedit' in ~/Library/TeXShop/Scripts by the new subroutine, included with this distribution. Six Applescripts 'activate-flashmode-T.scpt', 'deactivate-flashmode-T.scpt', 'sync', sync_include_only', 'startup', and 'pdflatexc' are also included, which do not rely on an installation of TeX-Scripts-BBEdit. They all work both with single tex files as well as with combinations master/slaves. When a Flashmode applications starts, it tries to open the corresponding pdf file and to tell TeXnsiscope to stop its default behaviour for that pdf file. When Flashmode quits, it tells TeXmsicope to resume its default behaviour. The Applescripts 'activate-flashmode-T.scpt' and 'deactivate-flashmode-T.scpt' change TeXniscope's default behaviour for the front most pdf window as well. Please, notice that all Applescripts are tailored for BBEdit v.8; 'startup' will also run in v.7, the others might not, but they could be modified, if they don't run.

As usual, it works great. Folks should know that they should delete their ~/Library/Application Support/WARMFigToPDF/default.tex file if they were using 4.0.x before since the definition of the \fontlabelsizeswitch command needs to be there or there will be a compile error by pdflatex. If they've customized the old default.tex file (I've added the use of Lucida Bright to mine since that is what I use 90% of the time) they'll have to add that again. Finally it shouldn't be \newcommand{\fontlabelsizeswitch}{...} but rather \renewcommand{\fontlabelsizeswitch}{...} since the macros seem to assume it has already been defined.

To change the \fontlabelsizeswitch value on a file by file basis just look for the \newcommand{\fontlabelsizeswitch}{} in .tex file generated by WARMFigToPdf and put in the size you want.

Clearly I should have read your fancyhdr docs more carefully! I had one other question regarding float headers. Is there a general way to reference the floating item number (in the vein of \ref{foo}) in the float header so that for each float the table/figure number shows up in the header? More specifically, if my custom headers are as follows: \lhead[\iffloatpage{}{\fancyplain{}{}}] {\iffloatpage{}{\fancyplain{}{}}} \rhead[\iffloatpage{}{\fancyplain{}{}}] {\iffloatpage{\fancyplain{}{\leftmark \\ \ref{foo} }}{\fancyplain{}{\leftmark \\ \rightmark}}} \cfoot[\fancyplain{\thepage}{\thepage}] {\fancyplain{\thepage}{\thepage}} (that might not be the cleanest way to do things as I am definitely still learning about custom headers but it gets the output I need. Any advice on cleaning things up in there is much appreciated!) is there a way to automate {\iffloatpage{\fancyplain{}{\leftmark \\ Table (*expression here*) }} to output the number of the table contained on the float page so that the right header looks like: Materials and Methods (for example) Table X.X --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From rhart at mail.utexas.edu Mon Dec 6 19:01:49 2004 From: rhart at mail.utexas.edu (Roger Hart) Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 18:01:49 -0600 Subject: complex search and replaces (was Re: [OS X TeX] Support for AppleScript please) In-Reply-To: <2807317C-47B5-11D9-9A30-000A959EB894@ieee.org> References: <2807317C-47B5-11D9-9A30-000A959EB894@ieee.org> Message-ID: <317C78EA-47E3-11D9-83EB-000393072E62@mail.utexas.edu> I concur that the best way to script complex search/replaces is with perl. I might suggest the following, perl -i.old -p -e 's/original/replacement/g; s/original2/replacement2/g; s/original3/replacement3/g' filename.tex Here -i.old instructs perl to make a backup of the original file, filename.tex.old, and to save the changes under the original filename (instead of writing the changes to STDOUT in the Terminal window).

Google for Tom Kiffe BBEdit TeX. He describes, in the ReadMe, how to set up syncing using pdfsync, BBEdit Tools menu, and TeXniscope. It works great for me. Tom's plug-ins include lots of functionality, but you only need to install the ones you want. (For example, I just use pdflatex and so I omitted the dvi plug-ins.)

Flashmode and all included scripts work for single tex files as well as for master/ slaves combinations without any problems. The separate Applescripts enable typesetting and synchronization B --> T, while synchronization T --> B is possible and works like a charm - again for any possible combination -, when the preferences in T are set correctly, all of which is described in great detail.

I guess I should try harder --- did manage some success with awk (using it to increment page numbers for an index). The big thing with bkreplacem is it's a graphical tool which will manage search and replace sets, so it appeals to the visual side of me.

What you can try is redefine \url to use \href instead: \renewcommand{\url}[1]{\href{#1}{#1}} (but you'll lose the monospace font and -- the main advantage of url.sty, IIRC -- the ability to have URLs broken at appropriate places, in case line break are necessary), or even: \makeatletter \renewcommand{\url@}[1]{\hyper at linkurl{\Hurl{#1}}{#1}} \makeatother I'm not sure what this code does, I found it in one of my files but it's been months since I last used hyperref.sty (at that time I had done a lot of customizations to get hyperlinks underlined in the PDF output).

For the second problem I assume you're working with units and they should be done in an upright font, \(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\) is better. I use units all the time so I've defined a macro to deal with that automagically: \newcommand{\amt}[2]{\ensuremath{#1\,\mathrm{#2}}} Which can be used within text or math mode and has the syntax \amt{35}{m/s^2}.

Since g) is not a word, but presumably a label for a list-item, then you should be using a macro anyway.

If your use of 'cm' here is meant to be shorthand for 'centimetres' then your marlup is quite wrong. What you want is $\mathrm{cm}^3$ . Better would be to roll your own macro, such as \newcommand{\units}[1]{\mathord{\mathrm{#1}}} and use. e.g.: $75.352\units{cm}^3$ Alternatively, \usepackage{units} and use the \unit command that it provides. This has (i) an optional argument for compound units e.g. \unit[m]{sec}^2 ---> m sec^2 ; (ii) a Boolean package-option for adjusting the amount of space between the parts of such a compound unit; (iii) a test for whether you are already in math-mode, or not ; (iv) a \unitfrac macro for setting quotient units as a nice fraction, rather than using ^{-1) etc. > > There are more unaesthetic combinations, and I get the unpleasant > feeling that there is something wrong - but I do not know what. I am > using OSX 10.3.6 and TeX Live 2004. Fourier is designed for high-quality mathematics typesetting. You need to learn the detailed typesetting rules for mathematics, which involves using the right typefaces and amounts of white space according to the type of infomation that you are presenting. $cm^3$ has the meaning of $ c \times m^3 $ where the 'c' and 'm' are variables, so are set in italics and separated by an `implicit multiplication' amount of space. Doubtless your other `unaesthetic combinations' contain similar wrong interpretations and need to be recoded appropriately.

I'm still working through exactly what you did in that last chunk of code so I just followed your instructions on implementation. It works quite well except for the fact that, in the header, both the first and second figure are labeled as Figure 1.2 despite the first figure being 1.1 in the caption. Similarly the first and second table (second chapter) are labeled Table 2.2 (the third table is correctly labeled as 2.3) despite correct numbering in the captions.

I made an application in Applescript Studio to put up a "palette" of TeXShop projects. It isn't as good as an integrated approach would be, but you're welcome to try it: http://tina.stanford.edu/~hills/Tidbits/ Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- TeXShop Switcher Matthew Hills December 7, 2004 This is a small program to help manage windows of multiple projects in TeXShop. It puts up a small window with a list of PDF files that have been opened in the TeXShop. Double-clicking on one will bring the window for the PDF and the associated files to the front in TeXShop, and minimize the other windows. Notes: The behavior of the selection item in the window is undesirable. It is best to think of the table there as a panel of buttons and just ignore it. A smaller palette-style window would be better, and it would be even better than that if this was integrated into TeXShop, rather than running as a completely disassociated process (I set up an idle timer to periodically update the list of which projects were open in TeXShop). The program was created in Applescript Studio, which I don't really know that well... but the source is available to anyone who asks for it. -------- rev. history 12/7/2004 - first release --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From lists at janeden.org Wed Dec 8 03:30:54 2004 From: lists at janeden.org (Jan Eden) Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 09:30:54 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] Scaling hyperref URLs In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi Herb, Herb Schulz wrote on 07.12.2004: >On 12/7/04 2:21 PM, "Jan Eden" wrote: > >>This was exactly what I was looking for.

Explanation of the code: I write in the .aux file a line like \global \@namedef{FLT at 3}{Figure 2} This defines a macro \FLT at 3 (which is not possible with \def because 3 is not a letter). 3 here is the page number. This macro is then used in the header on the next LaTeX run. The problem is, however that the figure number is expanded at the wrong time, namely when the figure is inserted in the page, rather than when the figure is constructed. Here is a new version. It doesn't even need separate \figuremark and \tablemark commands but only a general \floatmark. \makeatletter \newcommand\floatref{\csname FLT@\thepage\endcsname} \newcommand\floatmark{\let\thepage\relax\edef\tempa{% {\global\string\@namedef{FLT@\thepage}{\csname fnum@\@captype\endcsname}}} \expandafter\write\expandafter\@auxout\tempa} \makeatother -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP] Private email: P.van.Oostrum at hccnet.nl --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From piet at cs.uu.nl Wed Dec 8 08:32:29 2004 From: piet at cs.uu.nl (Piet van Oostrum) Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 14:32:29 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] Header Control on Float Pages?

The most important thing is left out of this message, but since you mention TeXShop, I assume you followed the installation instructions available from the TeXShop website, that is: you used the i-Installer to install the TeX engine. If that is the case: you don't have to do anything: the graphics bundle (which includes both graphics.sty and graphicx.sty) is always installed (otherwise it would not be LaTeX, it is a base requirement) and the current teTeX comes with revtex4 installed - and is therefore already installed. To find out if a file is installed already, run "kpsewhich graphics.sty" in a terminal window (without the quotes). If the file can be found, the full path will be returned, otherwise nothing is returned. The extraction of class and style files from documented source files (.dtx files) isn't really hard, but not needed in the examples you give here. Usually a .ins file is included in the full package, and when tex is run on this file, the extraction should take place automagically. Be very sure though that the package isn't installed already.

Any suggestions? Do you have "Pdftex" or "TeX and Ghostscript" checked in the Typeset menu in TeXShop. It sounds like you have EPS graphics, so you either need to use "TeX and Ghostscript" or convert the EPS files to PDF and then use "Pdftex". -- Gary --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From will at guerilla.net.au Wed Dec 8 21:23:38 2004 From: will at guerilla.net.au (Will Robertson) Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2004 12:53:38 +1030 Subject: [OS X TeX] Request from newbie In-Reply-To: References: <651BBBFE-497A-11D9-BECB-000A95CED3AA@xs4all.nl> Message-ID: <55EF0560-4989-11D9-88A0-000A95E49032@guerilla.net.au> On 9 Dec 2004, at 12:42 PM, Dewey Dykstra wrote: > My problem is that when the figure is called, I get an "Unknown > graphics extension: .eps error" message. The problem is that there are essentially two "flavours" of TeX: one that outputs PDF directly (pdftex), and one that outputs "something else" (tex). Using pdftex allows you to include PDF, PNG, and JPG graphics, whereas tex allows only EPS. Otherwise, the differences between them are negligible for your purposes. To cut a long story short, to fix your problem go to the "Typeset" menu in TeXShop and select "TeX and Ghostscript" instead of "pdftex". A better fix is to set up automatic conversion from EPS to PDF in the TeX document, but I always forget how to do that, sorry :) Good luck, Will --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From jackson at negril.msrce.howard.edu Wed Dec 8 21:43:48 2004 From: jackson at negril.msrce.howard.edu (Aaron Jackson) Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 21:43:48 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] Request from newbie In-Reply-To: <55EF0560-4989-11D9-88A0-000A95E49032@guerilla.net.au> References: <651BBBFE-497A-11D9-BECB-000A95CED3AA@xs4all.nl> <55EF0560-4989-11D9-88A0-000A95E49032@guerilla.net.au> Message-ID: <274800C6-498C-11D9-9449-0003934D3FAC@msrce.howard.edu> On Dec 8, 2004, at 9:23 PM, Will Robertson wrote: > > A better fix is to set up automatic conversion from EPS to PDF in the > TeX document, but I always forget how to do that, sorry :) If you start up Texshop and select latex from the template pull down menu, the appropriate lines will then be inserted, mainly \usepackage{epstopdf}... --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From will at guerilla.net.au Wed Dec 8 21:51:08 2004 From: will at guerilla.net.au (Will Robertson) Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2004 13:21:08 +1030 Subject: [OS X TeX] Request from newbie In-Reply-To: <274800C6-498C-11D9-9449-0003934D3FAC@msrce.howard.edu> References: <651BBBFE-497A-11D9-BECB-000A95CED3AA@xs4all.nl> <55EF0560-4989-11D9-88A0-000A95E49032@guerilla.net.au> <274800C6-498C-11D9-9449-0003934D3FAC@msrce.h Message-ID: <2D777416-498D-11D9-88A0-000A95E49032@guerilla.net.au> On 9 Dec 2004, at 1:13 PM, Aaron Jackson wrote: > On Dec 8, 2004, at 9:23 PM, Will Robertson wrote: >> A better fix is to set up automatic conversion from EPS to PDF in the >> TeX document, but I always forget how to do that, sorry :) > > If you start up Texshop and select latex from the template pull down > menu, the appropriate lines will then be inserted, mainly > \usepackage{epstopdf}...

It can be downloaded from http://www.math.uni-heidelberg.de/studinfo/gerhardt/tex/ The changes are: - Flashmode can now be used regardless of the existence of a pdf file. - When you type in the source window, the pdf window will automatically come to the front in TeXniscope. - When a copy of Flashmode is accidentally directed to a document that is already controlled by Flashmode, the copy will beep and quit. - To quit Flashmode - or any copy - and release the document, one can - and should - use the new Applescript 'flashmode-quit', preferably via a shortcut key. The script requires that the document, that should be released, is the front document in BBEdit. - When Flashmode (or any copy) starts, it will now first look for a so-called protocol file of the document, stored in /Applications/Flashmode.app/Contents/Protocols, and will beep and quit, if a protocol file already exists. If it can't detect any, a protocol file will be created and Flashmode starts working. The protocol file cannot be removed by Flashmode but only by the script 'flashmode-quit'. If Flashmode is quit manually, the protocol file will still exist and all attempts to again control the document by Flashmode will fail. In such a case 'flashmode-quit' should be run - with the document to be front in BBEdit. - It has also been necessary to rename the copies, they are now called 'Flashmode-alt', 'Flashmode-one', etc.. - There is now only one debug version of Flashmode, to minimize the maintenance burden, namely, 'Flashmode-one-debug'. - The Applescripts 'sync', 'sync-include-only', 'pdflatexc', and 'startup' have been slightly modified so that the cursor position won't be changed in case of error.

For all copies the default is 0.5 sec. You can changed it as described in the ReadMe file. The only difference in the settings between 1.0 and 1.1 is that in 1.0 the interval was specified as "0.5" and in 1.1 it happened that I copied the Preferences from an older version where the format "0,5" has been used. But this is certainly irrelevant, because, if Flashmode doesn't understand the contents of the Settings file, it will default to "0.5", hardwired in AS. From my own experience I couldn't detect any differences - with respect to saving and typesetting - between 1.0, 1.1, and the combination TeXniscope 0.32 or 0.33.

I have now reached a point where I'm really stuck and I thought it might be justified to bring up that topic again... :) I converted the .ttf with ttf2tex, I heard only afterwards that it would have been easier using XeTeX, but actually XeTeX failed to install properly on my system. Well, different story probably... :) The conversion of the file seemed to have worked fine (thanks to the author's support), and from the LaTeX output it looks like TeX loads the assoiciated map file, the .fd file, uses the right encoding vector and finally loads the .ttf. But unfortunately the document isn't set in the font, instead, the CM Sans Serif is used without a substitution being reported. I have the following commands in the respective files: In a verdana_sf.sty package file: %%%%% %(...) \DeclareOption{sf}{% \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}} \ProcessOptions\relax \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{mve} \RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc} \RequirePackage{textcomp} \RequirePackage{ifpdf} \ifpdf \pdfmapfile{+mve.map} \else % whatever \fi \endinput %%%%%%%%%%%%% In the class file which loads the above package: %%% %(...) \RequirePackage[sf]{verdana_sf} \renewcommand{\normalsize}{\fontsize{9}{13}} \renewcommand{\normalfont}{\sffamily\normalsize\selectfont} %(...) %%% And in the document itself I just issue a \normalfont command.

I am betting heavily on the later. Hi Gary, On the other hand this seems to indicate that, last October, there was still activity going on on OS X Textures. Which, to be honest, I felt quite sceptical about at that point, being close to call Textures dead. So, when I first read this page, I thought it rather positive, an indication that Textures is indeed alive. It's a pity, of course, we can't have a look at Tiger Beta: I received the announcement of its availability (twice), but the need to get ADC Select Membership first makes it definitely too pricy ($500!) for something that would be just a hobby. Well, it seems about time to launch a new list: macosx-blueskyrumors (just kidding!). BTW, you announcement recently about the "Emacs on OS X" list mentioned the subscription address but not the digest address , which required a bit of googling to be found. (Not being a regular Emacs user for the moment, I was willing to first get an idea of the list traffic and level of technicity, before considering subscription.)

The message dashed my hopes because I was hoping that the release might be rather imminent, but upon reading that page, it put the release off to some time well into 2005, which will mean that Blue Sky will have been working on Textures for Mac OS X for more than 4 years (10.0 came out in March 2001). > BTW, you announcement recently about the "Emacs on OS X" list > mentioned the subscription address > but not the digest address > , which required > a bit of googling to be found.

For those who use Equation Service to put TeX-typeset equations in non-TeX documents, the new OO3 betas (both Pro and basic) fix a bug in the interaction of the two applications. It is now possible to typeset and untypeset TeX equations in-lne in OO3. I suspect this interaction will be useful in developing course notes. There one might prefer the reorganizational capabilities of an outliner to the beautiful output of TeX. With Equation Service now fully capable in OO3, we can have our cake and eat (at least some of) it too.

Unfortunately, I don't think such a package exists - at least I couldn't find it at Apple's site.

This mailing is available to all ADC members (including "online", i.e., free membership, if you purchase it separately). However, I believe this includes documentation, SDKs, etc., but does *not* typically include pre-release seed software; that's a separate benefit of Select or Premier membership. I don't think seed software is available at any lower level of membership, unless you can get into a customer (as opposed to developer) seeding program--but that depends on being selected by Apple, you can't just sign up and automatically get in. (Returning to the Textures topic, while it's true that the existing Type 1 fonts aren't directly usable in OS X, I don't see why this should be a major barrier to shipping a product; the fonts can be readily and losslessly converted to OTF/CFF and all the glyphs are accessible.)

The good news: There is a seed software only membership The bad news: It costs 199 USD rather than 100 USD and It appears to only be available to current select and premier members since I could only find it after logging into a select account. It may be possible for current select and premier members to purchase these "mailings" for additional, unrelated individuals. In fact, I'm sure that this is practically doable, but I'm not sure where the legalities differ between: (a) supplying Seed Keys to (lets say) "collaborators". (ADC Select membership give you 5 seed keys, so you could form a "loose band" of developers (lets say you are working on a TeX project) and purchase a 500 USD Select Membership, you would only get one hardware discount purchase, but each "member" of the band would get the ADC mailing, including pre-release software.) and (b) Buying these 199 USD Seed Software only Mailings (valid for one year) If both are permissible and you can get at least 3 people together to form a pseudo-company, then (a) will be cheaper than (b) AND there is a hardware discount available. FWIW, the hardware discount alone makes the 500 USD for a Select membership MUCH more palatable. I only buy one for a year at a point when it looks like getting my hands on the SEED software could be valuable AND if I'm fairly sure I'm going to be buying a new machine. I'm not really a developer, just a barely-competent scripter. --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From mark at bbprojects.net Fri Dec 10 07:06:08 2004 From: mark at bbprojects.net (Mark Smith) Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2004 13:06:08 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] Textures for Mac OS X - wait for Tiger?

This includes SDKs, and further developer tools and resources on both (I think) CD and DVD and it may also include *some* pre-release software. However, there is no mention of it including SEED software. I should not have used this term in my previous description. Pre-release versions of 10.4 have until now been restricted to SEED software. That is, until now, only SELECT and PREMIER members have access to it. It is reasonable to assume that this will continue to be the case.

Xetex offers the ability to typeset using a variety of ttf fonts (arabic in particular), while latex has commands for margin notes. Since both xetex and latex are based on "plain" tex, I am wondering if working in plain tex would allow me to have my cake and eat it too. The project in question consists of typesetting instructional materials for a second- or third-year arabic course. The professor on whose behalf I am working does not like the font embedded within arabtex because it includes some complex ligatures that he is afraid will be difficult for students to read. Xetex offers a very nice way of typesetting with various arabic fonts producing very nice results. However, the professor also wants to have left- and right-hand margin notes containing glosses for words in the text. These notes need to align properly with the line containing the word being glossed. This is possible in latex using the \marginpar command, but as far as I can tell this is not possible in Xetex. So, can someone tell if there are (non-latex) plain tex commands for margin notes that would work in xetex? Or alternately, is there a way to embed the way xetex uses fonts inside a latex document?

Or alternately, is there a way > to embed the way xetex uses fonts inside a latex document? I don't see any reason why marginal notes would not be possible in XeTeX. I think you're making a confusion between typesetting engine and format: - TeX and XeTeX are two engines, executable programs that take as input a .tex file and produce as output a .dvi file for TeX and a .xdv file for XeTeX. pdfTeX is a third separate engine, taking a .tex file as input and producing a .pdf file as output. - LaTeX is a format, a collection of precompiled macros added to those built-in in TeX itself. TeX actually comes with a bare-bones format called plain, and because of this people often use the name TeX for this format. (Writing this I realize you mention plain TeX in your message, so you probably know all this already.) There is thus no incompatibility between standard LaTeX and XeTeX, in the same way as there is no incompatibility between standard LaTeX and pdfTeX. Hence you have LaTeX, pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX which are the TeX, pdfTeX and XeTeX engines preloading the LaTeX format, and TeX, pdfTeX and XeTeX which are the TeX, pdfTeX and XeTeX engines preloading the plain format. (Yes, this is confusing indeed.) Now, this applies to standard LaTeX only. Many additional LaTeX packages rely on specific features of a given engine to work properly. For example: - pstricks.sty rely on the TeX engine to produce a .dvi file, followed by dvips to produce a .ps file. - microtype.sty rely on the pdfTeX engine. - Will Robertson's fontspec.sty rely on the XeTeX engine. But since marginal notes are a feature of standard LaTeX, these should not cause any difficulty with XeTeX, AFAIK.

That is weird for a folder that has been created in your home directory. However, what could have happened is that the first time you used fontforge it was for converting the Latin Modern fonts in the TeX i-Package, which is done as administrator. It seems fontforge picks up an environment variable for this instead of going for the user information based on real uid (in which case the .pfaedit directory would have been created in ~root). > I changed the owner to myself to look inside, and the folder was > empty.

Speaking of this, Gerben, would it be possible to add this auto-conversion feature as an option to turn of? I have my own LM setup [1], which you know you may copy if you wish, that organises the fonts into less families than yours. So every time I re-install TeX I have to remember to delete your fonts afterwards or have my font menu cluttered up even more than it is at the moment :) [1]: Available as always from .

I'm not sure if this fills all your requirements but you may want to check this program: Text-Edit Plus, by Tom Bender. Has a generous shareware policy so you can use it without any crippled features before you pay for it. Has lots of applescript capabilities available and more.
