March 3, 2007:

 These FAQ wiki pages are in transition.

 The wiki was started in 2006 for the first release of the
 MacTeX (2005-2006) package.

 As of February 22, 2007, a new MacTeX-2007 package was released
 and the information on some of these wiki pages may not yet
 be uptodate for 2007.




These are the MacTeX FAQ wiki pages for the most Frequently asked Questions about the MacTeX Distribution and MacTeX Installer.


At the end of some of the Q&A posts on the FAQ pages there may be a signature in the form [~XY], where XY are the intials of the contributors who posted answers to questions posed on Gary Gray's Mac-TeX Mailing List at Penn State University. Join this mailing list if you have general questions about LaTeX on MacOS X. Answers to many general LaTeX questions can be found in the Mailing List Archive


There are also mailing lists for XeTeX and ConTeXt. The links on how to join can be found here.
