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).
I checked the context runner, maybe the next beta works better (i get a
zip with --synctex=zipped) but i have no clue if something useful is in
there (useability also depends on how the content is placed / generated
and there not always a 1-1 relation between this (and i have to time or
motivation to cook up a better alternative that suits context better).

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.

Re: [NTG-context] SyncTeX and mkiv
Hi Hans,
Thanks for your attention and the new SyncTeX option: I just made some testing
with the beta from today and it seems to work. So for being useful to others,
the command I use now in TeXShop and MacOS X is:
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH
context --synctex=zipped --autogenerate $1 --purgeall

Re: [NTG-context] SyncTeX and mkiv
Hi Mojca, Thanks for your attention. I’ll do some testing with the syntax context —synctex istead of context —synctex=1 and then I’ll report any changes in the behaviour of SyncTeX. Actually if SyncTeX could find in the source a paragraph, or a sctructure like \startformula \stopformula that would be largely enough for most of us (when writing a maths, or physics, book or lecture notes often a formula or an expression is used several times and so finding a specigic one of them through a search in the sourec file is not really convenient). Regarding yoru observation for the missing « t » in \stoptext, I just made an error when copy-pasting… Usually I never forget the right syntax of \starttext\stoptext… Best regards: OK On 07 Apr 2015, at 10:32, Mojca Miklavec mojca.miklavec.li...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, SyncTeX usually works for me, but I need to use context --synctex ...

Nevertheless when I click in the source TeX file, SyncTeX shows the corresponding highlighted part of the PDF file. So my question is the following: is there some change in mkiv, or in the way TeXShop has to be tuned? The command I use to typeset is: context --synctex=1 --autogenerate $1 —purgeall and the version of ConTeXt I have is ConTeXt ver: 2015.03.30 23:33 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.3.31 Thanks in advance for any help.
