Project Macros Sets

The Macros sets available in the small toolbar of the text editor are defined on a per project basis. When working with plain, latex or context one does not need the same set of macros. The macro window has a macro pane indicating which set will be used by the text editor when the project is active.

Built in Macros Menu:
Built in macro sets are available at ~/Library/Application Support/iTeXMac/Macros. When opening, iTeXMac scans the content of the content of this folder and shows it in the macros menu. Subfolders were meant corresponding to categories and pop up buttons

Inside this folders, you will find macros files for TeX, ConTeXt, LaTeX, MetaPost. Feel free to customize them and share your work with others.

Customizing Project Macros Sets:
The macro pane of a project window gives access to 6 text fields where you specify the path of the macro file to be used for each category described above. You can give absolute path names beginning with a "/". If you give a path name beginning with a "./", it is relative to the current directory of the file being compiled or typeset. This is useful for customized project. Finally, in other cases, the path is relative to the directory ~/Library/Application Support/iTeXMac/Macros
You can customize project macros sets clicking on the macros button of the project window.

iTeXMac allows you to customize the macros with the aid of a macro editor.
