Does the ConTeXt distro come with a PDFViewer?
Hello Community, If my memory serves me correctly, I might have noticed (in one of the presentations during the recent ConTeXt meeting) that the distro comes with a PDFViewer. Is that a correct assumption? I am currently using a VSCode extension for PDFViewing but it does not work very reliably. Thank you very much, best regards, Ramkumar

No. There’s no editor or viewer included. We just discussed features and problems of existing viewers and decided to try to support developers in enhancing open source viewers. Hraban

I know of two muPDF GUIs: - llpp https://github.com/moosotc/llpp - zathura https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/ Both are fairly minimalistic, but if you only want to display pages they do the job. Zathura also supports synctex.

All, Thanks for the tips. SumatraPDF worked well as it updates as the underlying PDF is refreshed by ConTeXt - which makes the dev-preview cycle really quick. I will compile all the tips in this thread into the Wiki. best regards, Ramkumar On Sun, Oct 10, 2021 at 12:53 AM Henri Menke via ntg-context < ntg-context@ntg.nl> wrote:
