One thing he asked is what I was asking you: it
would be useful if there were a way to sync in the other direction as
well.
You mean sort of trying to deduce from the synctex file where to go in
the pdf?
Yes. You provide a .tex file and a line number, and maybe also an
optional column number, and mtxrun outputs a .pdf file, a page number
and a coordinate pair or bounding box (I don't know what the best output
is).
define 'tex file' ... is that the master file? in that case we're
talking about the 'foo.synctex file' because how does a tex file knows
what pdf is related?
When the 'call external program' approach is used I can have an
alternative (lua) output that is easier and might do that (less work).
Lets first go one direction.
Dick prefers to tackle both directions at once: maybe you can coordinate
with each other.
I only have a very old macbook and an old imac i once got so no real
equipment to test anythign modern.
I'd be happy to help, and I am sure other users are interested, too.
