Re: Synctex with auctex and Skim

[Giovanni Lanzani]

Hi Tom,

thanks for the reply.

I already invoke latex with the synctex option, but for 2) (start the
server so synctex can use emacsclient), what should I do? Use M-x
server-start? Because doing just so doens't work.

And no, I don't need to jump from LaTeX to the pdf, just from the pdf
to LaTeX.

Thanks for your time and patience,

Giovanni
