This kind of question has been asked before, but I didn't see any involving using a GUI to pass parameters (doc class, new conditionals) to a LaTeX document. I would be interested in some precise instructions for this in TeXShop - presumably one can bind the "Typeset" commands to some pdflatex params my file.tex
or something, but I have a feeling it would take a lot of error-prone trial and error for me to do that properly. (I did see this question but it seemed not the same.) Curious if someone has a quick answer, thanks!
pdflatex
one and then modify it as you wish. Or, if you want it always to do this, you can probably modify the command in the Preferences. Another option is to use something like Arara.TS
lines at the top to switch between engines. But the only available documentation for TS is from 2006 unless you have access to TS and can read the help. Since I don't, I can only see the 2006 documentation which is unlikely to be helpful. So I can only suggest you read the help.
