With older keynote files that contain latexit equation I can drag-and-drop the pdf image of the equation to paste the image and the source in the latexit window. But with fresh equations this does not work: when I drag-and-drop onto latexit, only the pdf image of the equation is pasted but not the source. I guess I need to install the link back plugin. I found this link (http://www.linkbackproject.org), downloaded and installed the keynote 4 plugin hoping it would fix things, but it did not. Any suggestions?

I found this link (http://www.linkbackproject.org), downloaded and installed the keynote 4 plugin hoping it would fix things, but it did not. Any suggestions? I just posted the following to the MacTeX list run by TUG. I am running LaTeXiT 2.6.0b16 and Keynote 6.1 under OS X 10.9.2. It seems that if my preferences in LaTeXiT are set to: Export format of images: PDF with outlined fonts then dragging the proxy icon for a LaTeXiT image previously placed Keynote back to LaTeXiT only places the image in LaTeXiT and not the source. On the other hand, if I have my LaTeXiT preferences set to: Export format of images: PDF vector format then dragging the proxy icon for a LaTeXiT image previously placed Keynote back to LaTeXiT does also place the original source in LaTeXiT. Can anyone reproduce this? Note that I have to restart LaTeXiT between preference changes for them to apply.

Howdy, I just looked it up and Command Completion honored indentation since TeXShop 2.38 so it was much earlier than I originally thought.

(1) The frequency of wishes on the list seemed to have abated and many were being fulfilled so I eventually felt there wasn't much more of a point to keep track of them. (2) I re-posted the above (from May 11, 2009) only to point out that, traditionally, on this list, wishes were not considered as putdowns. (2) I gave the original mails to facilitate re-searches. (3) As for those that were *my* wishes, F1 and F2, The point was that since I work on one chapter at a time and my Mac is old and slow (like myself), waiting for it to be LatexMarked Typeset was a bit lengthy, even for me. So, I Save the chapters and LatexMarked Typeset the whole book only once in a (long) while. Now I use Command-Shift-L which does exactly what I wanted: Save and update the Preview but nothing else.

Then simply press TAB and write \bB to remove |?| and insert a TAB followed by \bB. Pressing ESC (ditto as above) now you get \begin{A} \begin{B} |?| \end{B} \end{A} then repeat to get the inner C environment. If you need to know how to add environments that are NOT already in the Command completion list let me know.

This version is not yet available using the built in Sparkle upgrade mechanism in TeXShop. In this version I adopted ARC, the "automatic reference counting" feature of Objective C. Under ARC, the compiler handles memory management rather than leaving that task to the programmer. A typical Cocoa program creates, uses, and throws away a large number of "objects". Such programs are prone to two errors. If the programmer forgets to throw objects away, then computer memory can be overwhelmed with old useless objects. If the programmer throws objects away too soon, the program will crash when trying to access an object that no longer exists. To relieve the programmer of the tasking of managing memory, some object oriented languages like Java contain a feature called "garbage collection" which periodically sweeps through memory, throwing away unneeded objects. Apple added Garbage Collection to objective C in Leopard. When TeXShop moved to version 3 on Lion, the program was converted from 32 bit code to 64 bit code. At that time, my ultimate goal was to add garbage collection, but I never got around to it. The objective C used on the iPhone and iPad does not have garbage collection, and in Mountain Lion Apple deprecated garbage collection on Macs, warning that it would be removed from a future system. Instead they recommend ARC, which works on the iPhone, the iPad, and the Mac.

The processing engine (xe/lua/pdf)(la)tex stops processing when it or the format it is using is confused. So the question is really whether there is an option or command to (xe/lua/pdf)(la)tex that tells it to stop on warning messages. On the other hand, once processing is complete (or aborted) the console window is search-able so you can find the warnings fairly easily. You need only click in the console output pane first to activate it.

TeX has 2 primitives that are used with errors and warnings. \errmessage{...} causes TeX to print the argument to screen, then stops and provides an interactive interface for how to proceed. \message{...} just prints its argument into the log. If you really want to stop at all warnings --- beware, there are many that are only printed in the .log file then you could experiment with: \let\message\errmessage within your document, or within packages that you write. This makes a local reassignment, so can be scoped to work just within appropriate TeX groupings { .... } or \begingroup .... \endgroup contexts. > > Thanks in advance for your support! > > Kind regards, Friedrich Hope this helps, Ross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross Moore ross.moore at mq.edu.au Mathematics Department office: E7A-206 Macquarie University tel: +61 (0)2 9850 8955 Sydney, Australia 2109 fax: +61 (0)2 9850 8114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Since my last post on this, I have modified the main page a little (but not much). It now starts off as follows. ---------------------------------begin--------------------------------- \documentclass[extrafontsizes,showtrims]{memoir} % extrafontsizes sets the default font for the document to % Latin Modern in the T1 font encoding, which is equivalent to % \usepackage{lmodern}\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \setstocksize{11in}{8.5in} \settrimmedsize{10in}{7in}{*} \settrims{1in}{1.5in} % set page size to 10in tall x 7 in wide \settypeblocksize{8.5in}{5.75in}{*} \setlrmargins{*}{0.8333in}{*} \setulmargins{0.8in}{*}{*} \setheadfoot{1.5\onelineskip}{2\onelineskip} \setheaderspaces{*}{2\onelineskip}{*} \checkandfixthelayout \headstyles{wilsondob} % sets chapter style = Italic % section style = CAPS % subsect style = Italic \setsecnumdepth{subsection} % number down to subsections \setcounter{tocdepth}{2} % show down to subsections in TOC %%% Uncomment to typeset a specific chapter \includeonly{pt_numthry} %\usepackage{tgtermes} % http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/tgtermes/ \usepackage[protrusion=true,expansion=true]{microtype} \usepackage[]{amsmath,amssymb} ----------------------------------end---------------------------------- Also, as Themis pointed out, my trouble with longtable inside the Exercise package environment is that longtable is a float. Thus, to avoid putting floats inside the Exercise environ, I gave up on longtable altogether and am switching to ctabular throughout the book. The only technical problem I haven't resolved at this point is in the TOC. For some reason, when it lists Part III in the TOC, shows "IIIFoundations" instead of "III Foundations" (with a space). Parts I and II show up correctly in the TOC as "I Numeration Systems" and "II Arithmetic Snapshots" (each with a space). I would appreciate any help to fix this. Finally, I have a couple of additional questions. It was suggested to me that perhaps I ought to include the following lines in the main page. \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} I'm using the Memoir documentclass option "extrafontsizes," and the Memoir manual states, "if you use the extrafontsizes option the default font for the document is Latin Modern in the T1 font encoding. This is like putting \usepackage{lmodern}\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} in the documents?s preamble (but with the extrafontsizes option you need not do this)." That's why I thought I wouldn't need the fontenc and inputenc lines. Was I mistaken? It was also suggested to me that, in thinking of future editions, I may want to use UTF-8 (but that I should remember that *both* LaTeX (via the inputenc) *and* my editor (I'm using vi and pdflatex from the command line) *have to use the same encoding*). I don't know anything about this. What is your advice? Thank you all so much. Yours sincerely, ---John. (I receive the digest of this mailing list.)

Yet I am hesitant, since I have read about so many bad experiences in this distribution list. Has Maverick cleared the problems with OS X TeX? What is the recommendation? I haven't had any of the issues that I have seen reported in the tech press (for example, I don't use Gmail, so I didn't have any issues with Mail, which have apparently been fixed since release). With that said, I find the improvements to be non-trivial. Calendar is better. I like Finder tabs A LOT and use them extensively. Even though I use 1Password, I find iCloud Keychain to be a useful feature. Having a Maps application built-in is very convenient. There are numerous improvements to Safari. The bottom line is that it has all been good for me. As they say, YMMV. :-) Gary From herbs at wideopenwest.com Thu Apr 17 18:20:54 2014 From: herbs at wideopenwest.com (Herbert Schulz) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:20:54 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] TeXShop 3.34 In-Reply-To: <0CF5F7B8-E1B0-44C4-BB85-7C2922F80AA2@earthlink.net> References: <25C4C055-7029-4347-B3EE-C649DAC76571@math.uoregon.edu> <0CF5F7B8-E1B0-44C4-BB85-7C2922F80AA2@earthlink.net> Message-ID: On Apr 17, 2014, at 11:04 AM, Richard Seguin wrote: > I tried ?Check for updates ?? from within TeXShop and got the error message: > > "Update error! > > An error occurred in retrieving update information.

The update mechanism worked for me just an hour ago. Please try again. Just before Mavericks was introduced nine months ago, I discovered that the version of Sparkle in TeXShop didn't work in Mavericks. I updated TeXShop to contain a modern version of Sparkle just before Apple released Mavericks. If users updated TeXShop, and later updated to Mavericks, they were in fine shape. But updating to Mavericks, and later updating TeXShop, failed. If you are in this situation, download TeXShop directly from my web site.

That was a widely recognized problem that has been fixed in 10.9.2, at least for me. The finder would also occasionally and seemingly randomly revert from preview icons to generic icons on the desktop. That has not been fixed. I also noticed that, for the first time, the last system update did not make my personal library folder invisible, and I did not have to go to the terminal to make it visible again. I hope that was not an accident and they will continue to respect our choices.

Could you try to use texindy on the idx file: texindy -M lang/english/utf8 -o Script2014.04.15.ind Script2014.04.15.idx in Terminal (adjust the languish and encoding accordingly---ascii is a subset of utf8).

The quoted text includes a simple graphic that I've drawn using tikz, but I cannot seem to wrap the text around it inside the quote environment as it appears in [1]. Not all that surprising really, as both the {quote} and {quotation} environments already try to adjust the normal paragraph layout, as do {wrapfig} and {picinpar}. So combining these would be most awkward. My advice would be to stick to just one of the latter, and include extra markup to try to emulate what the quote environments do. Or try using {minipage} to narrow the width, with {wrapfig} or {picinpar} inside, for the wrapping. > > [1] Euclid's Elements, Green Lion Press (2003), pp. 158--159. > > I tried wrapfig and picinpar that are suggested in The LaTeX Companion, but I could not get them to work correctly.

Rather install MacTeX. You can still get MacTeX 2013 (which installs TeX Live 2013 and also sets the system up for its use and GUI apps). You can get the MacTeX.pkg installer package at . After installing run the TeX Live Utility (found in /Applications/TeX after using the MacTeX install) and follow the directions and you will update to the final version of TeX Live 2013 at the time of the freeze.

Howdy, Hopefully others will give more information but Skia seems to have been broken under xetex for a long time.

In long papers or books making heavy usage of labels, it is often difficult to recall whether you have already used such-and-such label, whether it really points to what you think, whether the label was exactly like this or not, etc. One can obtain some of this with the "Find all" feature of the "Find..." panel, but this means cluttering your screen with two more windows/panels.

When I selected one, the system asked for an admin passwd and then replied ? failure ? (in French) on /usr/texbin. So I then installed MacTeX-2013. The TexLive-2013 radio button in the pref pane is now active, but none of the others. The system still asks for a passwd when I try to select one, but nothing happens when I give it. O.K. TexLive-2013 now works, and I know you will say that I should be happy with it, but I am co-authoring a book with a colleague, we are nearly finished and would like to be able to go back to TexLive-2012 so that we work with identical distributions (my colleague does not like updating software that has no problems).

Hmmm... not exactly what you want, but... if you enter a \ref{|} (the | is the insertion point) command and press F5 the built-in BibDesk plugin will show you all the labels in that document. Note: it does NOT look in included files, only the file you are editing.

However, this could be my fault. If you select "Show Spelling and Grammar" in the TeXShop Edit Window, a small dialog box appears. At the bottom of this dialog, you can choose the dictionary that you want to use, In particular, you can switch from an Apple dictionary to a CocoASpell dictionary, Previously TeXShop did not remember this choice once you quit, but now it does.

If I quit before leaving the source window TS DOES remember it, and keeps the choice when going back & forth from source to preview. Thanks for all your help, no hurry to get things fixed for me.

See https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html Please remember that this is a beta version. You may run into problems. If you decide to test, be sure not to erase your current TeX Live 2013 distribution. You can return to it if a problem emerges in the 2014 version. Currently on Mavericks the TeX Dist Pref Pane is broken; we expect that it will be fixed by final release. The beta version of MacTeX contains a temporary replacement in /Applications/TeX for Maverick users. The Tug Pretest page concentrates on downloads for Unix or Windows users and it takes a little deciphering to figure out how to get to the pretest servers and download mactex-2014.pkg. Think of this as a preliminary debugging task for those willing to test MacTeX. The more testing, the better. -------------- About This Release: 1) Last year we provided Ghostscript 9.07. The new package has Ghostscript 9.10. Ghostscript 9.14 was released a couple of weeks ago, but it has significant TeX-related bugs and will not be used. 2) Convert from ImageMagick is no longer supplied because this year's tex4ht uses Ghostscript to image some of its elements for the web. To convert between graphic formats on the Mac, use Apple's Preview or Apple's command line program sips. 3) We no longer supply the Latin-Modern and TeX Gyre fonts for use outside TeX, because users can create links in the Apple font directories to any open-type TeX fonts they wish to use. 4) Donald Knuth patches bugs on a regular but sparse schedule. The last patches were in 2008, his 2014 patches are in the new packages, and he'll visit the issue again in 2020. 5) MacTeX and BasicTeX are for Intel and PowerPC processors on Leopard and above. 6) Last year's MacTeX had size 2.36 GB. This year's MacTeX has size 2.48 GB. MacTeX-2014 installs in approximately one minute on a Retina machine with flash storage. 7) Further details are available on the Tug Pretest Page.

I assume pretty much everything will, as it's not very complicated regex. I dunno.

I thought that Perl regex used $1, etc., not \1, etc., but what do I know. You are not wrong. My understanding of Perl is that $1 is set for the replacement text only, whereas \1 is set as soon as the match is made, so that it can be used also later in the pattern. e.g. ([xyz]).*\1 will match x ... x or y ... y or z ... z , but store only the x/y/z in $1 . Presumably \1 is still set for the replacement text. > > Good Luck, > > Herb Schulz > (herbs at wideopenwest dot com) Hope this helps, Ross From listwatch at moss.in-berlin.de Fri Apr 25 12:09:40 2014 From: listwatch at moss.in-berlin.de (Martin Wilhelm Leidig) Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:09:40 +0200 Subject: [OS X TeX] Search with .* but how to replace?

You need the ? to tell the search to stop after finding the next ), not the last one in the line. So you need a match for all but ")", e. g. --- f\(([^\)]*)\) --- or even giving only the characters one expects inside (?), e. g., "a" to "z": --- f\(([a-z]*)\) --- Another way might be to use nongreedy matching, e. g. --- f\((.*?)\) --- but that could lead to a lot of backtracking in the process, depending on which type of RE engine is used. I even don?t know if this is implemented in OgreKit. See Jeffrey E. F.

I finally got around trying the regex suggestion (with the ?) and looking up TextWrangler's help. Neither worked. Both my fault: (1) That the regex didn't work is because I botched my "minimal example": instead of saying I wanted to replace f(x) by g(x)h(x) (for which of course the regex worked) I should have said I wanted to replace \f{x} with \g{x}\h{x}. In other words, I am trying to search for a command and replace it with two commands (*) And none of the many variations I tried worked. My most surprising failure was (I was ready to insert the \ with a separate search.) Given \f{x} in the text, Search for f{.*?} found it Replace with g{\1}h{\1} replaced with g{}h{} instead of with g{x}h{x} (2) That the reading suggestion didn't work should go without saying: as much as I loved TextWrangler for doing multiple file search and replace so transparently, I have a very hard time plunging into the middle of its help and make much sense of it. Grateful---and hopeful---regards --schremmer (*) I need to replace \NewTerm{blah} by \textbf{blah}\index{blah} (which is what \NewTerm does) because, occasionally, I need to edit to, say, \textbf{blahs}\index{blah} or \textbf{blahs}\index{blah (to)}.

First a short course of French punctuation: you must insert a space before a double punctuation symbol : ; ? ! but the space before is thinner then a normal espace. Only the babel package with frenchb option or the e-french package can make the space before thinner then the normal space. Try adding \usepackage[frenchb]{babel} or \usepackage[]{french} in the preamble and you will be O.K. When commenting or uncommenting this line, you will see the difference.

I would have thought that book were achievable in LaTeX/TeX/XeTeX but in any case, I would probably have done it in FrameMaker. So far as outputting to EPUB, there was some discussion on this on this list and texhax some time ago. Unless there has been some development work, I believe the consensus was that such a workflow does not exist. Elements may be cobbled to make a workflow. I have experimented with a number of files with and without graphics, tables, etc. I found that Calibre produced passable results but nothing was as good as pdf. Simple text files are fine.

Long story, but: a friend and I retyped (in LaTeX) an old book to be reissued, Lillian R. Lieber's The Einstein Theory of Relativity. It sold reasonably well.

Since recent versions I have noticed a behavior that I don?t think was there before: It seems as if TS remembers that it already converted a file and it ignores subsequent attempts to convert a file by the same name, even if its contents have changed. When I say that TS ?ignores? the file, I mean that nothing happens when I drag-and-drop an eps file onto the TS icon on the dock, if a file by that name has already been converted. I have to quit/restart to convince TS to convert. I am now on TS 3.35 but I think this started with the update just before the last one.

Howdy, Yes, the updated binaries came through today. You must set TLU to use one of pretest repositories found on . E.g., if you click on on the list you go to . Copy that link to the clipboard. Click on Configure->Manage Repositories in TLU; press the + button and Paste that link into the new entry and Save it. You can then choose that link and even make it your HOME link.

Unfortunately, when renaming the files for this update, I changed "pkg" to "zip". For instance mactex-20140429.zip should be mactex-20140429.pkg If you download, just change "zip" to "pkg" before double clicking. The correct names are on the master server but will take a day to migrate to other servers. Dick Koch
