Hi, thanks four your reply.
If you are using the standard off the shelf TextMate you will want to set the environment variable TM_LATEX_COMPILER=latexmk
My setting currently is TM_LATEX_COMPILER=latexmk.pl, this is the same, isn't it?
If you are using the new branch in the subversion repository then you can just go to the preferences panel and check the latexmk.pl box.
I don't actually know how to get the branch of a subversion repository - is it necessary to stay updated? In case how do I get it?
Anyway, files are properly compiled only more complex issues like glossaries etc don't work.
It is smart enough to run bibtex and makeindex and latex as many times as necessary to get your document into shape.
-- this doesn't work for some reason.. (I have to admit I never properly understood the syntax i.e. of makeindex ... )
Thanks very much beforehand Flo
