[OS X TeX] Updated Latexmk for TeXShop

[Herbert Schulz]

Howdy,

After the discussion about using the index package to create multiple  
indexes (should this be indices? I think that plural has a different  
meaning) I decided to put some examples (that come from the index  
package sample.tex document) into the configuration (rc) files used  
with the TeXShop localization of latexmk. These examples of  
dependencies and processing rules are commented out in the rc files so  
there is no FUNCTIONAL difference from the previous version using  
latexmk 3.21j; i.e., there is no need to update if you've already got  
that version of latexmk. The enclosed documentation had also been  
updated to note the use with the index package.

I haven't changed the name of the distribution. You can get it as  
Latexmk321jTeXShop.zip from <http://homepage.mac.com/herbs2>.

A bit more detail:

Packages that create multiple bibliographies or indexes (particularly  
the latter) either use tagged file names and standard extensions  
(e.g., tag.idx for an index with local reference `tag' in source file  
root.tex) or root file names and custom extensions (e.g., root.adx for  
an index with local reference extension `adx' in source file  
root.tex). Latexmk ``knows'' how to process files with the former  
naming scheme and takes care of that automatically (e.g., the  
multibib, multind and amdmidx packages) but doesn't ``know'' how to  
process the files that use the latter scheme (e.g., glossary,  
glossaries and index packages) so it needs some help. The dependency  
added to the rc files ``tells'' latexmk to look for a certain input  
extension, the output extension (so that latexmk can check to see if  
processing is needed) ad the name of the processing rule it should use  
to do the ``conversion.'' The processing rule (sub-routine) tells  
latexmk the exact steps it needs to take to take the input and create  
the output.

Good Luck,
