Re: [NTG-context] SyncTeX and mkiv

Hi Thomas, Mojca and Andreas, After playing with several options as either of you suggested, I ended up with the following setups which solve partially the misbehaviour of SyncTeX in mkiv. The solution works for with TeXShop on Mac OS X 10.10.2 and the latest standalone beta of ConTeXt. 1) I have in a file named mkiv.engine (which sits in the folder ) the following lines: #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH context --autogenerate "$1" —purgeall 2) As one may see I do not use the option —synctex in the above context call, since it doesn’t work correctly (beware the — shown is actually two hyphens {-}{-}…). 3) In the TeXShop Preferences, in the Typesetting pane, I have checked the radio button next to SyncTex (Tex ≥ 2010) as one may see on the attached screen capture. For now the syncing seems to work essentially fine (although it is not as precise as when using Plain TeX, or LaTeX, but probably this might be expected beacuse mkiv is more complex). Thanks to all of you! Best regards: OK

Hi,

SyncTeX usually works for me, but I need to use context --synctex ... (I don't know if --synctex=1 is supposed to work in ConTeX. I believe that Hans changed the syntax.)

Enabling it inside the document doesn't work for me for some reason. Hans suggested to put the command inside the first line (modeline or however that one is called).

But "context --synctex filename.tex" generally works.

Yes, this is strange. `\enabledirectives [system.synctex]` works for me *if* it’s in the product file (no `--synctex` switch needed). It even works if it is not in the first line, for example:

Product file:

\startproduct pd-test \enabledirectives [system.synctex] \component 01-intro \stopproduct

Component:

\startcomponent 01-intro Hi there, can you show me this sentence in the source file? \stopcomponent

But, indeed, it doesn’t work with single-file documents.
