add some basic instructions for using synctex on a limited number of editors and viewers
Synctext currently doesn't work with MKIV.
With a ConTeXt version > 2009.06.13 you can run
texexec --synctex jobname
that will create a file <code>jobname.synctex.gz</code>.
The command
ctxtools --purge --all
or next run without --synctex will remove the file again.
This file can be used by your editor to display the proper file.
== Editors & Viewers ==
=== TeXWorks ===
You may need to modify the command for executing ConTeXt first (you need to add <code>--synctex</code> switch in preferences).
=== Skim.app & TextMate (Mac OS X) ===
In Skim/Preferences/Sync choose TextMate. 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 ConTeXt bundle:
* '''Save''': Nothing
* '''Command(s)'''
#!/bin/bash
pdf=${TM_FILEPATH%tex}pdf
/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline -r "$TM_LINE_NUMBER" "${pdf}"
* '''Input''': None
* '''Output''': Discard
* '''Activation''': Key Equivalent (choose one; I used Ctrl+Alt+Apple+O)
* '''Scope Selector''': text.tex.context
If you use <code>Apple+R</code> for typesetting that needs to be modified as well (to account for --synctex switch).
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.)
