TeXShop



Arnold - Math 475, Fall 2007

QT.03: TeXShop complains of a damaged Macros file when it starts. AT.03: There may be a damaged Macros folder in TeXShop's configuration files. Quit TeXShop, move the Macros folder /Library/TeXShop/Macros to the desktop, and restart TeXShop. It will create a new Macros folder with a working Macros file. Open Preferences and click the Engine tab. Click the (pdf)TeX field and enter the path to the folder which contains the pdftex executable. If you have a private MiKTeX installation, you must enter /bin (the tilde character is expanded by TeXShop). If you have installed MiKTeX system-wide, you must enter /usr/local/bin. TeXShop is distributed under the GPL public license, GPLv2, and thus free. TeXShop (v 4.62) requires Mac OS X 10.12 or later TeXShop (v 4.44) requires Mac OS X 10.10 or later TeXShop (v 2.47) requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later RSS feed.

Handling compiling errors

Texshop Latex Windows 10

LaTeX is a very picky typesetting program, and a lot of tiny things cancausecompiling errors. By following the instructions below you willintroduce anerror into your universe.tex file and then see how to deal with it.
  1. Change your .tex file so that it looks like this:

    documentclass{article}
    begin{document}
    Howdy universe!
    The & is a special character.
    end{document}

  2. Now click Typeset and you will get the following error: 'Misplaced alignment tab character &'.
  3. In LaTeX, the '&' character is used for tabbing(alignment) in certain environments, but it is not a legal character onits own; that is what the first line of the error message above issaying - that the character '&' is being used somewhere itshouldn't. Click 'Go To Error' to go to the place where the compiler thinks there is an error in the editing window.

5. Or you can do asLaTeX suggests, and put a' in front of the &. Remove the % and try this.

Printing a finished LaTeX document

If you want to print right from the computer you are working on, it'seasy; justchoose 'Print' from the 'File' menu of the PDF viewer. Don't print from the Texmaker window, because you will only be printingtheLaTeX code, not the finished product.

The core of LaTeX is a backend software package that complies the LaTeX code (.tex file) and creates the final document (PDF). There are a few different programs available to do this depending on the operating system of the user. The LaTeX Project provides information about how to install LaTeX on Windows, Macs, and Linux, as well as online services. Seglass ni tonday meaning. Instruction on how to install the most common LaTeX programs for Windows and Mac can be found in the 'Installation for Windows' and 'Installation for Mac OS X' sections below.

Aside from the back end software required to run LaTeX it is highly recommend that users install a text editor. A text editor is a frontend software that can be used to create .tex file used by the compiler. Text editor programs such as TeXwork, TexStudio, TexMaker, and TexShop provide a friendly interface for users. Often these front end programs include help menus, wizards for creating LaTeX objects, drop down menus for inserting symbols or altering text, and many other features that will support both new and experienced LaTeX users. You will find more information about these frontend programs in the 'LaTeX Interfaces' box below.
