TEX ENGINE OPTION -synctex=NUMBER
     *	 If NUMBER=0 or no option is given, no synctex file is created.

     *	 If NUMBER<0, synctex files are text files.

     *	 If NUMBER>0, synctex files are compressed with gz.

     *	 If NUMBER&2, no .gz extension is used.

     *	 If NUMBER&4, activate form support, useful for pdftex.

     *	 If NUMBER&8, better file compression.

     Use for example `pdftex -synctex=15 foo.tex' to activate all the options.
