Hi,
has anyone a working SyncTeX setup with ConTeXt LMTX for anything else than
TeXshop?
With LaTeX, it works for me with Skim (+ Atom/Textadept/TeXworks) and
TeXstudio. And in TeXshop we got our own parser. But can we expect others to
adapt to our “superior” SyncTeX format? (I don’t understand the format yet and
can’t tell what’s the difference.)
There are two synctex formats, we support the second one (for as far as
i can tell). There is no context synctex format (it's just less bloated
and redundant than what an engine outputs). So, if an editor uses the
old synctex format you're toast.
The nice thing about texshop is that it delegates interperting the
synctex file to an external script (in this can mtx-synctex) which
removed the dependency on a specific version of the library. After all,
the editor (and viewer iif one goes two ways) only needs to know a
position in the document of pdf. It's the macro package that needs to be
in sync and this is one way to guarantee it. Another advantage is that
we avoid the somewhat latex specific syntac parsing (probably making
some assumptions about the way pages are constructed).
