Dear Hans,

subject says it all: when I use \synctex=1 in mkiv, I don't get any
.synctex.gz file. The --synctex switch works however (which is exactly
the opposite of what used to be the case a while ago :).

In MKII both works.

Mojca

Hi Mojca,

\enabledirectives[system.synctex] is instead of \synctex=1 in mkiv.

\synctex is a nop in mkiv, use a proper directive instead:

\enabledirectives[system.synctex]

Thank you. What exactly was the reason to disable the old syntax? Why
not maybe defining it to give at least a warning (or even error)
printing out a message saying what to do. It is a bit weird to see the
code compile fine without ever noticing that something went wrong.

Is there any chance that a single command would be provided that would
work both in mkii and mkiv (in mkii it would call \synctex=1 and in
mkiv it would call \enabledirectives[system,synctex])?

Mojca

there are a few more primitives disabled (and an overload with message 
is no option as there is no way to intercept the parser)

reasons: more consistency, less error prone, better tracing etc

                                              ^ period !

i'm not going to bother about mkii in this respect, in mkiv we move away 
from variables in favor of directives, trackers and experiments
