Hello,
this question extends the "[NTG-context] future versions - synctex" thread.
I'm using TextPad for editing Ctx source files, PdfXChange Viewer to
view PDFs, both on Windows.
After reading some recent posts and after studying some web sources -
especially
[a] https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/docs/DDE-Commands.html for
SumatraPDF viever and
[b]
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/116981/how-to-configure-texniccenter-2-0-with-sumatra-2013-2016-version/116994#116994
for inspiration how to make TXC interoperate with Sumatra,
dunno
I would like to provide "click-in-PDF-go-to-source" functionality - be
Sumatra the viewer for this case.
Questions are:
1. How to run Sumatra so that it opens a PDF file AND reacts somehow to
a mouse click, in order to provide a command to get to the corresponding
place in the source file?
(IIUC, Sumatra provides such functionality, as e.g. TeXnic Center
use it. [b].)
I guess that I have to configure Sumatra somehow, or to launch Sumatra
with some command line parameters, so that when I click a point in the
PDF (maybe while also holding CTRL or something - but it is a detail), a
command is launched to open the source file in the editor and go to a
particular line.
from the workflow manual:
Of course you need to configure the viewer to respond to the request for
editing. In Sumatra combined with SciTE the magic command is:
c:\data\system\scite\wscite\scite.exe "%f" "-goto:%l"
2. What should be the command line parameters passed to Sumatra to
provide the linkage "open PDF-source at line"?
config file
I deduce also that such command should call "mtxrun --script synctex"
somehow (which will call
"...\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua\mtx-synctex.lua") as the
"mtx-synctex" is able to read the .synctex produced during compilation
of .tex files.
no, because the lib is hard coded in the sumatra bin so you need to
cross your fingers
I deduce also that "mtx-synctex" calls the editor (which the user uses
to edit source files) in the manner that it tells the editor "open file
(...) and go to line (...).
Existing "mtx-synctex" is "aware" of "scite" editor, which is - next to
"console" - the only editor pre-configured.
pdf viewers use the lib .. what we're discussing is hwo to make them
call a program instead
3. What code should be added into "mtx-synctex" in order to make TextPad
an editor known to "mtx-synctex"?
dunno, i never used textpad Hans
