[OS X TeX] ChkTeX Engine for TeXShop

[Ramón Figueroa-Centeno]

Aloha,

A while back I wrote a nice applescript to integrate BBEdit and ChkTeX (see
<http://www2.hawaii.edu/~ramonf/ChkTeXonMacOSX/index.html> for that and
instructions on how to install ChkTeX on OS X).

Now, if you do not have BBEdit it occurred to me that an engine for TeXShop
would provide another way (not as nice) to use ChkTeX. I am attaching it.
Install ChkTeX. Install the engine in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines and make
sure it is executable. Add the following line towards the top of your
document (first 20 lines) "% !TEX TS-program = ChkTeX" (assuming you named
the engine "ChkTeX.engine") and typeset (it will not typeset, of course,
instead it will show you the output of ChkTeX in you document's TeXShop
console).

Enjoy!

Ramón
