Hi! I am new to the list, and I have several questions. As you will
guess, I am considering upgrading to MacOS X. I am currently a
satisfied and heavy user of Textures, and don't want to loose
productivity in the change. So here they are.
Some questions concern both TeXShop and iTeXMac; please anyone
responding specify if you refer to both or only one of them.
1.- Are BibTeX and MakeIndex incorporated into these programs ? (from
TeXShop's documentation it seems so, but I'm not quite sure; and
don't know about iTeXMac)
2.- Can teTeX be installed directly from the TeXLive CD-ROM instead
of downloading it ? How ?
3.- Can the standard formats (e.g. plain, LaTeX, pdfLateX, etc.) be
recompiled with hyphenation patterns for several languages ?
4.- Can one \dump new format files (.fmt, I think) for instance to
pre-digest your favorite class and suite of packages ? I mean having
several of these, and being able to choose one each time I typeset a
different source file.
5.- Can TeXShop navigate from outpout to source and conversely ?
5.- It seems that when installing teTeX one has to choose between A4
or lettersize paper. What effects has this ? Can I still choose which
one from the \documentclass command ?
Thanks for any answers!
