Here is a BBEdit package I wrote to help me write Latex.

A little background
For a long time, I used TeXShop to write Latex. TeXShop is the best Latex editor I’ve ever used. It is simple but powerful, perfect for beginning or longtime Latex users.
The more I’ve used BBEdit, though, the more I miss it when I’m not using it. So I’ve switched, and now I write Latex in BBEdit.
This package makes it easier to use BBEdit to write Latex.
What it can do
- Typeset your document and locate any errors
- View the pdf output, with SyncTeX support if you use Skim
- View warnings and errors from the log file
- Look up documentation using
texdoc - Check your semantics using
chktex
There are also a number of BBEdit clippings to insert often-used Latex commands. BBEdit makes it easy to assign keyboard shortcuts to the clippings you use most.
