synctex(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual synctex(1)

synctex
command line client tool to support the Synchronize TeXnology available in most TeX engines.

synctex command [options] [args]

The Synchronization TeXnology is a feature of recent TeX engines. It allows to synchronize between input and output, which means to navigate from the source document to the typeset material and vice versa.

Run `synctex help' to access the built-in tool documentation.

  • If NUMBER=0 or no option is given, no synctex file is created.
  • If NUMBER<0, synctex files are text files.
  • If NUMBER>0, synctex files are compressed with gz.
  • If NUMBER&2, no .gz extension is used.
  • If NUMBER&4, activate form support, useful for pdftex.
  • If NUMBER&8, better file compression.

Use for example `pdftex -synctex=15 foo.tex' to activate all the options.

Notice that LuaTeX option is `--synctex=NUMBER' with two dashes.

synctex(5) tex(1)

The Synchronize TeXnology is essentially due to Jerome Laurens, with useful suggestions by some well known actors of the TeX world.
