# SyncTeX

SyncTeX is a method that enables synchronization between a TeX source file and the PDF output generated by a TeX/LaTeX compiler. This plugin allows to use SyncTeX in pluma to quickly switch from an opened TeX source file to a PDF document opened in atril and vice versa.

# To enable the SyncTeX plugin:

Select Edit Preferences Plugins.

Select SyncTeX to enable the plugin.

To be useful, this plugin requires a TeX/LaTeX compiler and SyncTeX to be installed. Both are provided by TeX distributions such as TeX Live. Also atril must be installed.

Some basic information on setting up SyncTeX and compiling LaTeX documents can be found in the atril-SyncTeX documentation.

Key shortcuts and mouse controls are also documented in the atril-SyncTeX documentation.

Gnome-LaTeX and Gummi are alternative text editors specifically designed for writing TeX code.
