Howdy,
Hmm... I thought I'd hear some rants (expected) or raves (well, that
would be nice), etc. about the latexmk ``package'' I put together for
TeXShop by now.
I use it quite a bit for files that have cross-references,
bibliography, floats, toc/lof/lot and it ensures that xe/pdf/latex as
well as bibtex is run the correct number of times to end up with a
complete, final pdf of your document. It will also run makeindex, if
necessary, although I haven't done that. I made up a simple compound
document (i.e., one with \include{..}) with cross-references between
files, etc., and it seems to work fine with that.
I haven't done any extensive testing on large documents with complex
relations.Gary or George might be able to help here(?).
I do know that the multbib and multind packages are not supported
right now but John Collins, the author of the latexmk script, said he
is working on that.
Download LatexmkTeXShop.zip from <http://homepage.mac.com/herbs2/> if
you'd like to try it. Simply put the supplied files into the proper
folders (documentation and John Collins original distribution is
supplied too) and place the line
%!TEX TS-program = pdflatexmk
on the first line of the document and the proper engine will be used.
There are also latexmk and xelatexmk engines supplied.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
