→Syncing Between Source and PDF
===== Syncing Between Source and PDF =====
As of July 2021, ConTeXt provides support , through its Swiss-army knife <code>mtxrun</code> script , for getting the filename and line corresponding to a certain spot in a PDF document, and for getting the PDF coordinates (page number + bounding box) corresponding to a given line in a source file. Type this in a terminal window to get some information about this nifty feature:
mtxrun --script synctex --help
TeXShop still supports an old syncing method, which is based on Jérôme Laurens's SyncTeX, but using that for ConTeXt is not recommended any longer, so how to use that will not be explained in this document. Just note that the ''Sync Method'' preference in ''Preferences > Typesetting'' is not relevant for the new syncing method described above; it is strongly recommended that it is set to ''SyncTeX (TeX ≥ 2010)'' anyway.
