Hello,

Some months ago, I proposed a patch to implement synctex support for the
latex exporter.  Following feedback from Nicolas, I was working on
converting that code to use hooks and advice, without modifying core
org-mode functions.  It was a frustrating but very educational task, and
it is now complete.  I attach the patch (which consists only of a single
file addition to the contrib directory) to this message.

It is very simple to use: load the file, and then M-x
ox-synctex-activate.  Now every time you export latex to a pdf, the code
will patch the resultant synctex file so you can jump from a pdf viewer
to the (approximate) org source line that generated it.  The hooks and
advice can all be removed with M-x ox-synctex-deactivate.

PS Note that you must do the latex compilation within org (C-c C-e l p);
you can’t export the .tex file and compile it from the command line.
