JupyterLab LaTeX supports using SyncTeX to map a location in the
text editor to a location in the generated PDF, as well as the reverse.
In the forward direction, it takes a line and column from the .tex file,
and maps it to a page in the PDF, as well as an (x,y) position on the page.
In the reverse direction, it takes a page and an (x,y) position, and maps
it onto a line and column of the .tex document.
To reveal the page of the PDF corresponding to the cursor in the text editor,
right-click in the editor and select "Show ".
To reveal the location in the text editor corresponding to a page of the PDF,
right click on the PDF and select "Scroll PDF to Cursor"
SyncTeX generates its mapping during the compilation of the .tex document
and stores it in a .synctex.gz file.
The .synctex.gz file is gzipped, as it can be large for long .tex documents.
It is used by the synctex command line program,
and is not intended to be used or parsed by users or developers.
If you subsequently edit the .tex document and run SyncTeX
before it recompiles, it may return incorrect results.
You can disable SyncTeX support by setting synctex: false
in the JupyterLab advanced settings editor.
The extension defaults to running synctex for establishing the mapping.
You can configure this command by setting c.LatexConfig.synctex_command
in your jupyter_notebook_config.py file.
