<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
I recall a mention sometime ago of an "experiment" option in the TeX editor that allows one to test a part of a larger document without having to create a new file, etc. I have not been making intense use of TeXShop over the past few months but now would find
this feature useful. Can anyone tell me how to access it?
