💖 mtx-synctex — SyncTeX Checker 💖

okay so bestie, you know how we're always like "where is this thing in my PDF" and "what line of the TeX file made this box"? yeah. that's this. this is the mtx-synctex(1) manual page, the SyncTeX Checker, and she is lowkey a whole detective. 🕵️♀️✨

It runs through mtxrun --script synctex, and yes, she is serving main character energy in your terminal.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mtxrun --script synctex [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. options and filenames, go wild. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

SyncTeX Checker.

fr fr, that's what the page says and I'm not gonna invent lore that isn't there. it checks SyncTeX. it's giving "utility." it's giving "does exactly what the tin says." periodt. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --edit — opens the file at a line. here's the shape of it: --line=.. --editor=.. sourcefile. so you tell her the line, you tell her which editor, you hand her the source file, and she pops it open. obsessed. 😌
  • --list — shows you all the areas. give her a synctexfile and she spills everything. no cap. 📋
  • --goto — opens the file at a position. you bring --page=.. --x=.. --y=.., and optionally [--tolerance=], plus --editor=.. and the synctexfile. then she teleports you right there. iconic behaviour honestly. 🚀
  • --report — shows the (tex) file and line. feed her [--direct] --page=.. --x=.. --y=.., optionally [--tolerance=], then --console and the synctexfile. she reports back like the world's most helpful group chat member. 📢
  • --find — finds the (pdf) page and box. hand over [--direct] --file=.. --line=.. and the synctexfile, and she goes hunting. this is her searching era. 🔍
