Synctext currently doesn't work with MKIV''SyncTeX''' is a program that puts a lot of anchors in the output file that link to the corresponding position in the source file. This allows you to quickly jump from PDF to source.
With a ConTeXt version > 2009.06.13 you can run texexec --synctex jobnamethat will create a file <code>jobname.synctex.gz</code>.The command ctxtools --purge --allor next run without --synctex will remove the file again.== Usage ==
Updated SyncTeX for MKIV
You can use the <code>--synctex</code> switch to enable SyncTeX. So in MkIV you can run context --synctex <i>jobname</i>and in MkII you can use texexec --synctex <i>jobname</i> Alternatively you can add one of the following commands to your MkIV document:<texcode>\setupsynctex[state=start,method=min] % clickable words\setupsynctex[state=start,method=max] % more efficient clickable ranges</texcode> This will create a file <code><i>jobname</i>.synctex</code>. The command context --purgeor next run without <code>--synctex</code> will remove the file again. To see what became clickable, use one of<texcode>\enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize]\enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize=real]</texcode> This file can be used by your editor and PDF viewer to display jump back and forth between the proper filesource and the PDF.
== Editors & Viewers ==
You may need to modify the command for executing ConTeXt first (you need to add <code>--synctex</code> switch in preferences).
=== Evince , Okular & Kile ===Okular (the KDE PDF viewer) and Evince (the GNOME PDF viewerone) supports support SyncTeX . (The latter since version 2.32.0.) To forward something from a text editor to Okular, do okular --unique '${pdffile}#src:${linenumber} ${texfile}' Kile’s (the KDE TeX IDE) ForwardPDF function should support SyncTeX, but it doesn’t seem to work with ConTeXt at the time of writing
=== Skim.app & TextMate (Mac OS X) ===
In Skim/Preferences/Sync choose TextMate. Key The key combination Shift+Apple+MouseClick
will bring you to the corresponding line in text editor.
In TextMate (see [[ConTeXt Bundle for TextMate]]) I have created my own command inside the ConTeXt bundle:
* '''Save''': Nothing
Hopefully this functionality will become part of the official ConTeXt bundle one day. (The recipe given above is too specific. The code needs to be written to handle more different viewers and different locations, not only a single viewer at a specified location.)
