Subject: [NTG-context] context not producing synctex output that my synctex program can use
Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2023 19:59:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZVAVXD1G7tDYRhnM@x360.localdomain> (raw)

Hi,

I've read the wiki, looked at workflows-synctex.tex, searched the web, and
scratched my head, all to no avail.  So here I am, cap in hand...

When I run context, I get a .synctex file which has some information in it,
but I can't find any invocation of synctex to return anything useful.  Nor
does the okular example in the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/SyncTeX)
work for me.  Ocular starts, but always on the first page, regardless of
what line number I give it.

On the other hand, pdftex creates a .synctex file which my copy of synctex
find useful.

I am using the synctex from the current version of texlive:
        This is SyncTeX command line utility, version 1.5

Can anyone either
(a) enlighten me on what I am doing wrong; or
(b) definitively confirm that context is not currently playing nicely with
    synctex (the wiki notwithstanding) and I should give up this quest for
    now.

Thanks very much.

                                Jim
