Sorry, I didn't know that. My cursory search on the web didn't reveal that okular was pdfsync enabled, and I use gnome not kde. > Just go to okular's preferences dialog, and add (in the "Editor" pane) the > following command as custom editor: > > lyxclient -g %f %l > > Shall I update the docs? Yes, please. > BTW2 we should also mention synctex in the docs, since it is about to > supersede pdfsync (I don't know if any of the viewers already supports ths, > though). SumatraPDF has support for it. However, I don't think that we can get any advantage from synctex with respect to pdfsync. If I understand it correctly, synctex is more precise, but our precision in cursor positioning is limited to paragraph scope (I believe), so we cannot use the extra precision allowed by synctex. Then, it seems that the files produced by synctex are huge and thus I think that using pdfsync is the best choice. >From my tests it seems very reliable. -- Enrico
