[TxMt] Re: latex master paths

[Daniel Stegmueller]

I simply use

latexmk -pvc test.tex

which tells latexmk to continuously recompile the PDF on file changes. 

I also set some default options for latexmk by creating a .latexmkrc file in my home directory. Mine contains  

$pdf_mode = 1;
$pdf_previewer = 'open %S';

to enable pdf creation by default and tells latexmk to open the created pdf via skim (which is my default viewer for pdfs).

That said, I think the  "Watch document" function in the Latex Bunde accomplishes basically the same thing ... (?)

After getting help from Allan and Gildas, I finally got everything working as smoothly as I would like combining TeXShop and TextMate, but it was not easy to set up (for non-coders like myself)  and there is no sync.  It also felt a little weird to move out of the TextMate fold where I have lived and flourished for so long.   The TextMate and Skim union strengthened by Dr. Daniel, the marriage counselor par excellence, will draw me right back in.   Now for those of us who don't know how to do this, can you please write out the steps to type in terminal?
