Add the support for SyncteX #56

Open KevinNadaud opened 8 years ago

KevinNadaud commented 8 years ago

Hi, I'm using Latexila and I would like to know if it is possible to add the support of syncTeX in Xreader. Evince has the support of syncTeX so it may be only necessary to copy a part of the code ?

Regards

@KevinNadaud This should already work. Maybe you use synctex functions that are not provided in the older version of synctex used in xreader, currently with the last github-version we use synctex 1.17. Could you provide how you do it with evince... What happens if you try the very same with xreader?

I am using latexila as latex editor. To jump to the pdf from latexila, I use ctrl+left click in the late editor. If evince is installed, it open evince and display the selected area in the pdf. If evince is not installed, a error is displayed to install evince. If I just open the pdf with latexila, it open it with xreader, but synctex is not available.

Do I need to change some settings for synctex ?

I firstly made a bug report for latexila but the maintainer said to me that it may come from xreader. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772237

How can I know the version of synctex I use ?

@KevinNadaud I never used synctex with xreader, but the evince documentation should give you some hints. Latexila has maybe no configuration for xreader...

The evince documentation does not give really usefull tips. It just gives the compilation command line to enable synctex, but not how to choose the viewer. I will try to see with the latexila maintainer if some options need to be change in latexila.
