[OS X TeX] using ITeXMac with external editor and preview

> I don't know well about AppleScript.

> However, I understand your scripts as follows:
>    1. In the script
> 		- it checked file name and its directory
> 		- it formulated cmd for the terminal.
> 		- call CompileTeX-engine
>    2. In the CompileTeX-engine, it run the command depends on the input
> argument.
>
> So I just replaced "BBEdit" with "TextWranger" in the AppleScrips and
> recompileed them.
> For xelatex and context, I copied pdflatex script and changed
> "-pdflatex" in "set cmd to ...." to "-xelatex" and "-texexec", and
> added two cases of "xelatex" and "context" to CompileTeX-engine as
> almost same as in pdflatex case.
>
> As you see, I almost do nothing but copying and modifying a few lines.
>
> Your scripts gave me a lot of convenience to handle TeX process from
> the editor.
>
> Thank you again for nice scripts.
