We could also make a python script (and use the “system” module), or anything else really. Therefore, we can make our own bash script called, in lack of a better name, “myscript.sh” which we can tell TeXShop to run whenever we typeset. Whatever we type in this box is what is run in the shell behind the scenes for us when we typeset the raw. Since I am using the pdftex->LaTeX typeset we see that the command which is run by TeXShop whenever I typeset the document is found in the left side under “pdfTeX” and then in the second box with title “Latex”: So, you just started a new project and you are typing it up in LaTeX. But, if there are files in your Misc folder before you typeset you want to use those (as they contain the referencing system etc.)! Finally, you want the generated “.pdf” file (again: if this is indeed what you typeset) moved back into the “Project” folder. Also, you want all the aux, log, and other “trash” files to go into the Misc folder automatically after typesetting. In other words, TeXShop will look for the figure file inside your Latex folder where main.tex itself resides but it wont find them unless we somehow circumvent that. You have some figures in the “Figures” folder but you are not referring to them inside your LaTeX main script (in an “includegraphics” command) via the path: “./Figures/Fig1.eps”, assuming the figure name is Fig1.eps, but rather just with “Fig1.eps”. It also generates a “.pdf” file (if that is what results in your particular typeset). (particular files being created depends on how you typeset). When you typeset main.tex this will generate a bunch of files such as the “.aux”, “.log”, etc. tex file you are working in to produce some nice output file (e.g., a.

As a TeX editor I assume you are using TeXShop which comes as default with MacTex (installed via the first option described in the link above).Īssuming you have a working installation of TeXShop on your Mac I am going to show you one example of how to gain full control of files and folders in your LaTeX project.

TEXSHOP BIBTEX INSTALL

To install it on a Mac computer simply follow the steps in this link. I have been using LaTeX (“lay-tek”) for technical writing for many years. (note: at the end I explain how it works with bibtex as well)
