How should the .plist macro file be used? Just put inside ~/Library/
Preferences?
Another solution, to only get the old syntax
%&program=xelatex
%&encoding=UTF-8 Unicode
work alongside the new syntax
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
is to set the hidden TeXShop pref UseOldHeadingCommands by typing in
Terminal
defaults write TeXShop UseOldHeadingCommands YES
I know Dick Koch doesn't advertise this solution because he prefers
people to abandon the old syntax completely (he had got reproaches
from the TeX community at the time, because the symbols "%&" are
reserved for TeX use), but IMHO it's the only way to ensure backwards
compatibility with older files like the XeTeX samples and docs.
