If SyncTeX really works out-of-the-box, that would make Emacs an even more powerful LaTeX IDE than it already is!

Right now I use it with Evince and SynTeX works forward (I can jump to the position in the PDF in Evince where my cursor is in Emacs) but not backward (I can't jump in Emacs to the LaTeX source corresponding to where I am in the PDF in Evince). I never managed to get it to work.


The syncing with LaTeX sounds nice. What's imagemagick for? If you can copy text I guess it doesn't convert to png like emacs does now?


Interesting. A very different kind of tool than doc-view.


Interesting! Are there screenshots available?
