BBEdit TeX Tools</a></h2>
by Ujwal S. Sathyam <a href="mailto:setlur@bigfoot.com">setlur@bigfoot.com</a><br>
<b>Freeware</b><br>
Current Version: 1.0<br>
Requires BBEdit (not the Lite version)<br>
<b>Updated: 7/17/99</b><p>
This is version 1.0 initial release of Tex Tools plugin for BBEdit, a popular text editor for the Macintosh. It provides an integrated interface between BBEdit and various TeX-related software such as the typesetter, dvi previewer, BibTeX, Excalibur, etc. This tool is a 68K BBEdit tool and should work on a 68K or PowerPC Macintosh with BBEdit version 3.5.2 or later, though I have tested it with only version 4.0.3 and the 5.1 demo version on a PowerPC. Since this is a tool providing a floating palette rather than an extension, it will not work with BBEdit Lite. MacOS 7.0 or greater is also required. To use it, drop the tool into the BBEdit Extensions (BBEdit 4.0) or BBEdit Plugins (BBEdit > 4.5) folder.
<P>
The TeX Tools plugin scans your system for most TeX-related applications and provides a floating palette showing the icons of the applications it found. Clicking on an icon executes an appropriate task. For example, clicking on the OzTeX icon typesets the current window. Clicking on BibTeX icon runs the *.aux file through BibTeX, clicking on the GhostScript icon opens the *.ps file.
<P>
The applications currently recognized are:
<UL COMPACT>
<LI>OzTeX (tex, DVI viewer, and dvips)
<LI>Textures
<LI>CMactex (tex, DVI viewer, dvips, and pdftex)
<LI>BibTeX
<LI>Excalibur
<LI>MakeIndex
<LI>GhostScript
<LI>Acrobat
</UL>
<P>
Keyboard modifiers change the action taken. Read the file TeXToolsDoc.dvi or TeXToolsDoc.pdf for a complete documentation.

Current Version: 1.2.2 (PPC); 1.0d (68K)<br>
68K and PowerPC<br>
<b>Updated: 5/5/2001</b><p>
BibGene is a freeware bibliographic database -- it uses its own file format but is capable of importing and exporting BibTeX. It is intended to provide a convenient interface for editing BibTeX information as well as to store other information such as citations that do not easily fit into the BibTeX format. BibGene was designed with two purposes:
<UL TYPE=DISC>
<LI>To maintain BibTeX information in a cross-linked object-oriented format which makes it easier to detect and correct common mistakes such as multiple spellings of an author's or journal's name.
<LI>To provide a way to store information that does not fit well into the BibTeX framework, such as citations from one paper to another, pointers to online preprints, and author addresses.
</UL>
The main new feature in BibGene 1.1 is an Eprint card, for maintaining information about electronic preprints on archives such as the one at xxx.lanl.gov. BibGene 1.2 adds a "Find Unlinked" command, which opens all cards that neither link to nor are linked from any other card. Both 1.1 and 1.2 also include many bugfixes and smaller improvements to BibTeX import/export and report generation.

deTeXtor</h2>
by Nicholas Buchdahl <a href="mailto:nbuchdah@maths.adelaide.edu.au">nbuchdah@maths.adelaide.edu.au</a><br>
<b>Freeware</b><br>
Current Version: 1.4.1<br>
68K and PowerPC<br>
<b>Updated: 1/5/98</b><p>
deTeXtor is a small application designed to delete the mess created by your implementation of TeX (as opposed to that created by you).
<P>
Most TeX implementations produce a variety of auxilliary files: .dvi, .log, .aux, .toc, etc. In the case of Textures, the .dvi file is placed in the resource fork of the .tex file, and the .log file is only saved to disk if desired.
<P>
Most of these files simply clutter up the hard drive and take up space, when all that is wanted (especially when archiving) are the source files.
<P>
deTeXtor is an automatic trash can for these auxillary files, depending on the settings you choose for it. If you are using System 7 [or presumably 8 -- GLG], you can just drag-and-drop files, folders and volumes onto the icon and it will process the contents according to the preferences you have previously saved.
<P>
There are some safety features built in, such as checking before deleting the resource fork of each text file in your preferences folder (not a good idea!), or asking you if you want to trash pictures you may have painstakingly drawn for inclusion in your Textures document.

FasTeX is a system of keyboard shortcuts for the fast keying of TeX (LaTeX, AmSTeX, AmSLaTeX) currently available for Macintosh and Unix computers. It replaces any keyboard shortcut by the equivalent TeX command or group of commands and will speed up your TeX inputting by a factor of 3, as well as providing many useful templates. It also helps to avoid the creation of special macro command abbreviations that make the TeX code hard to read and edit quickly by others who work on the same files. A set of files, which we shall refer to as the FasTeX Shortcut Files, contains the mapping information that expands keyboard shortcuts into the corresponding TeX commands.

<P>
This version of the AMS-LaTeX Glossary uses the following new features of BBEdit 6.0:
<ol>
<li>BBEdit now allows to have something selected in the pasted text;</li>
<li>Glossary items can now be displayed in an arbitrary order, not just alphabetical;</li>
<li>separators can be inserted between Glossary items.</li>

The AMS-LaTeX Glossary is now almost identical in content to Prof. Schmock's Textures menu. The whole LaTeX Glossary is over 5 MByte when expanded since each item will take at least 4K.

Odd Jobs is a collection of powerful file-processing tasks. The easiest way to use Odd Jobs is to drop files/folders/disks onto an appropriate "joblet" (or a conveniently located alias). Some of the supplied joblets are very handy for TeX users:
<UL COMPACT>
<LI>Alpha Doc -- Converts given text files to Alpha documents.
<LI>EPSF <-> TEXT -- Changes an EPSF file to TEXT and vice versa. Handy in case you ever need to edit/debug PostScript code.
<LI>Mac Text -- Converts Unix/DOS text files to Mac format.
<LI>Same Names -- Finds all duplicate file names in given folders/disks. Handy for tracking down problems caused by input file names occurring more than once in TeX's search path.
<LI>Send PS -- Sends PostScript files to the current printer.
<LI>Sort PKs -- Moves PK files into appropriate subfolders.
<LI>Trash TeX Temps -- This joblet can do everything that deTeXtor does but won't trash any files that have the "Essential" label.

The main feature in Odd Jobs is its pattern matching capabilities. You can restrict processing to files/folders whose names, types, creators and attributes match grep-like patterns. Such patterns allow you to do sophisticated selections that can't be done using the Finder's Find File or other utilities like File Buddy.

rtf2latex2e is a utility to convert RTF files from popular word processors to the LaTeX2e format for those who value quality typesetting. rtf2latex2e uses the <a href="http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/RTF/">RTF reader</a> package by Paul DuBois to parse the RTF code and generates an appropriate LaTeX file.
<P>
rtf2latex2e was written on the Macintosh and ported to most major platforms including Linux, Solaris, and Win95/NT. Building a real Mac application while still maintaining cross-platform compatibility was made possible by the <a href="http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/DropUNIX/">DropUNIX</a> application framework. rtf2latex2e is distributed along with the source code under the GNU General Public License.
<P>
The main features of rtf2latex2e are:
<ul>
<li>detects text style: bold, italic, color, big, small,...
<li>reads embedded figures: PICT, WMF, PNG, JPEG,...
<li>reads tables: simple to semi-complex
<li>equations: reads out Equation Editor equations (courtesy Steve Swanson, <a href="http://www.mackichan.com/">http://www.mackichan.com</a>)
<li>symbols: converts most greek and math symbols
<li>reads footnotes (not in tables yet)
<li>converts hypertext links using the hyperref package

The following text is taken almost verbatim from Scott's web site. I have only changed the formatting and wording slightly. I reproduce it here so that you will have more than one place to get his converters.

Here is a collection of TeX converters that I have ported for the Macintosh. They were all compiled using the same framework called DropUnix <A HREF="converters/DropUNIX_1.3.2a.sit.hqx">DropUnix</A> (87 K). The compiled applications (as a fat binary) are available as well as source code and project files for CodeWarrior Pro 2. I made minor hacks in almost every case to get the code to compile and did not comment these changes. If you are interested in improving any of these programs I suggest you get the originals from CTAN and find the differences.
<P>
DropUnix has made the ports consistent and relatively easy. This allows one to drag an rtf file (for example) onto the <CODE>rtflatex</CODE> application and get it converted. The downside is that configuration options are reached in a bizarre way - namely that you must create a folder for each option you wish to alter. For example, to simulate the unix command
<CODE>
rtflatex -s -r file.rtf
</CODE>
one would create two folders one named "-s" (no quotes) and one named "-r" in the same location as file.rtf. Then the two folders and the file.rtf should be dragged onto the rtflatex application.

was written C in 1987 Kamal Al-Yahya and updated in 1991,1992 Christian Engel. This program
translates many <CODE>troff</CODE> commands, but doesn't do tables or equations.

I have four of these converters here. Each has its good points and bad points. They come from four different sources. None does everything you might want and you may have to use a few different ones to get best translation.

<B><CODE>RTF->TeX</CODE></B><BR>
by Brian Jefferies was written in Pascal. I don't think that he ever released the source code. This program translates some equations very nicely from some RTF files and fails badly on others. The program tends to be slow.

<B><CODE>rtflatex</CODE></B><BR>
by Daniel Taupin and was originally a Pascal program. This was translated to C and that is the version (2.14) that I compiled. At one point I had the original Pascal version compiled, but somehow I lost that ability. Anyway, the real advantage of this program is that it processes embedded figures very nicely. It creates the separate files for each of the figures and produces latex commands so that the figures show up in the file. I don't know how well it works on Windows <CODE>.wmf</CODE> files, but Macintosh pict files work fine. This program does not do equations and I don't think that it does tables either. The C code is not very pretty and one must question how much this program might be improved without a lot of work. Oh yes, this program uses a file <CODE>rtflatex.skw</CODE> that lists RTF commands that it should ignore. This is pretty handy. The LaTeX code that this program produces is not very pretty but is pretty straightforward.

<B><CODE>rtf2latex</CODE></B><BR>
by Erwin Wechtl is based on Paul DuBois's RTF translator package. I ported the code to CodeWarrior and omitted the ThinkC console interface. I don't think that this code works equations, tables, or figures. However, this program has options to ignore rulers setting and other frivolous formatting settings. This program is capable of producing the simplest LaTeX code. Oh, yes. This program requires a bunch of supporting files to be in the same folder as the <CODE>rtf2latex</CODE> application.

<B><CODE>w2latex</CODE></B><BR>
by Javier Garmendia and Jean-Louis Maltret originated as a lex program (1994). The version that I ported included a few fixes by Wilfried Hennings. <CODE>w2latex</CODE> handles equations. It doesn't seem to work so well with figures, but it certainly could be extended. I don't know about tables. The latex code that it produces is not particularly pretty, but it does have the advantage of not requiring a separate style file for the output to be LaTeXed. One annoying feature is that the documentation is in French.

<h3><FONT COLOR="BLUE">TeX to ASCII</FONT></h3>
<B><CODE>detex</CODE></B><BR>
by Daniel Trinkle version 2.4+. This works OK on very many TeX files, but makes no attempt to convert math, figures or tables. It is written in lex and was straightforward to port as soon as I found a recent lex plugin for CodeWarrior Pro 2. I have added quite a few more TeX commands to the lex file, but it is still far from complete.

<B><CODE>tex2rtf</CODE></B><BR>
by Julian Smart version 1.62. This works OK on very simple TeX files, but makes no attempt to convert math, figures or tables. It is written in C++ and was the most obnoxious program to port. It might work much better if some time was spent on the <CODE>tex2rtf.ini</CODE> file to define many common TeX macros.
