When to use
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
Is it only for the file containing the \documentclass or also for all
files which are included?

When to use
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
I assume it is for all .tex files. Correct?


Isn't it documented in the TeXShop Help?


I'm not using TeXShop that much, so I can only tell you that it does *not* work to mix TeX files with different text (input) encodings. And since it does not work to compile in TeX just some included file, the "TS-program" header belongs only into the root document. All included files are processed by the same engine which starts to process the root file.

OTOH, it makes sense to tell TeXShop exactly that all files have a particular (input) encoding that TeXShop can display all files correctly. So the encoding header should be present in all files TeXShop might open to display.


BTW, the "%!" mark is (more or less) reserved for PostScript files. Better use "%%!" instead!
