  <title>SyncTeX</title>

  <p>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 <app>gedit</app> to quickly switch from an opened TeX source
  file to a PDF document opened in <app>evince</app> and vice versa.</p>

  <note style="warning">
  <p>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 <app>evince</app> must be installed.</p>
