I use BBEdit to write LaTeX

Could you please post some hints/links how to setup that (for a newbie
in LaTex?)

that's a very broad target...what *sort* of newbie? the solt who hasn't installed it yet or someone who just wants to know how to use BBedit as an external editor for TeXShop?


If the latter:
This script will throw the current document at texshop for compilation, etc. make sure it's a legal filename (somethingwithoutspaces.tex) and that TeXshop has the setting for an external editor in its prefs.

tell application "BBEdit"
    activate
    save active document of text window 1
    set texdatei to file of active document of text window 1
end tell

tell application "TeXShop"
    activate
    open texdatei
end tell

I think Maarten Sneep helped me put this together many years ago (if not, he's certainly helped on others:-)

also check out the Mac-TeX list: it's for using TeX on a Mac questions (rather than just (La)TeX questions)
