Dear Hans, subject says it all: when I use \synctex=1 in mkiv, I don't get any .synctex.gz file. The --synctex switch works however (which is exactly the opposite of what used to be the case a while ago :). In MKII both works. Mojca

Hi Mojca, \enabledirectives[system.synctex] is instead of \synctex=1 in mkiv. -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

\synctex is a nop in mkiv, use a proper directive instead: \enabledirectives[system.synctex] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you. What exactly was the reason to disable the old syntax? Why not maybe defining it to give at least a warning (or even error) printing out a message saying what to do. It is a bit weird to see the code compile fine without ever noticing that something went wrong. Is there any chance that a single command would be provided that would work both in mkii and mkiv (in mkii it would call \synctex=1 and in mkiv it would call \enabledirectives[system,synctex])? Mojca

there are a few more primitives disabled (and an overload with message is no option as there is no way to intercept the parser) reasons: more consistency, less error prone, better tracing etc

^ period ! i'm not going to bother about mkii in this respect, in mkiv we move away from variables in favor of directives, trackers and experiments Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
