[OS X TeX] latexit issues

[Jan Anderssen]

Hi Derek,

Glad it worked out. So it seems that 'set' returns your custom  
functions on multiple lines, and Latexit doesn't recognize that and  
somehow uses all of the lines that include an "=" and puts then in its  
export statements literally. Good to know.

I don't know how common this situation is, but maybe it's something  
that the author of Latexit might be interested in, for potential  
future updates.

Cheers,
Jan
