Overview
The Synchronization TeXnology is a feature of recent TeX engines. It allows one 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.
TEX ENGINE OPTION -synctex=NUMBER
-
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.
