Then, I think, users should be able to port their "engines" from TeXShop just fine. (Btw, I think your use of the word "engine" in the menu might be slightly different than TeXShop's).</blockquote><div> My intention was not to follow TeXShop. I think of latex, pdflatex, xelatex as different typesetting engines. But, there may be a better word that we could use there. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">In other words, just like they now select latexmk.pl, they should be allowed to type an arbitrary path to a shell script there. (That was in fact the point of the TM_LATEX_COMPILER variable).</blockquote><div> What do you think of the attached screen shot? </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Btw, why is latexmk.pl an option in the popup? Is it independent of the four options there?</blockquote><div> I didn't put it in the popup because its not the same thing as the others. Plus, potentially latexmk.pl could be instructed to use the engine specified by the popup. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> Brad Haris Skiadas Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Hanover College ______________________________________________________________________ For new threads USE THIS: <a href="mailto:textmate@lists.macromates.com"> textmate@lists.macromates.com</a> (threading gets destroyed and the universe will collapse if you don't) <a href="http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate">http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate </a> </blockquote></div>
