I’m simultaneously working on two projects. One is a book-length project while the other is a single, short article.
<div class="">For each one, I have a root file and then separate files for individual chapters (resp sections).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">I’ve been using method described in section 2.4 of the TexShop Tips and Tricks file for a long time on the book project, but am puzzled by a different behavior by the (very recent) article project. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Setup:</b></div>
<div class="">The root file for the book project, Couer.tex, is in a Dropbox folder Books->Couer. The chapter files are also all in this folder. The first line of each reads</div>
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>% !TEX root = Coeur.tex</div>
<div class="">and the root file calls them via an \input{filename} command.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The root file for the article, SpaceFillCurve.tex, is in a different Dropbox folder, MyPapers->SpaceFill, and the section files (so far, just one) are in that folder. The first line of each reads</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>% !TEX root = SpaceFillCurve.tex</div>
<div class="">and the root file calls them via an \include{filename} command (I wanted to see how the include option works).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The style files I am using are in a texmf folder in my Library.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Behavior:</b></div>
<div class="">In both cases, a command-T on the root file or the output file results in typesetting.</div>
<div class="">In the (older) book project, if I am displaying an individual chapter source file and I click either command-T or the “typeset” button the whole thing typesets.</div>
<div class="">In the new article project when I do this nothing happens, unless I am in the root file.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I should mention, if it is relevant, that I have root/source/output/console files for both projects open simultaneously.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any suggestions where to look for a fix? It is relevant if I want, for example, to do bibtex or makeindex.</div>
