This works for me in WinEdt v5.6 (20080429) and MikTex 2.7 and 2.8 and TeX Live 20. If, like me, you are using WinEdt to write your LaTeX documents, then you can configure it to use Sumatra PDF and forward and inverse search as described below. A more detailed description, which also covers other editors, can be found at William Blum's Editors setup page. Setup Sumatra PDF with WinEdt and other editorsīelow is a summary for the WinEdt editor. The above examples are good candidates for the IEEEtran class in two-column mode. Applies to both the official and proposed style. fwdsearch-color $hexcolor: colour of the highlight in hex (actually HTML) color format. fwdsearch-width $width: coloured blocks width. If this is missing or 0 (or less), the official highlighting is used.

fwdsearch-offset $offset: place the coloured blocks at $offset from the left page margin. The binary has extra command-line options: Although I like the official highlighting for plain text, I believe the proposed style is less confusing and equally efficient in drawing the user's attention to the corresponding lines. I propose to use coloured blocks on the left side of the page. The official highlighting style, although ok for plain text, can look odd and confusing when typesetting equations (or any picky LaTeX fiddling for that matter). I shall maintain (modified) binaries that include new official fixes and allow you to choose from two forward-search highlight styles. See below for more details about Sumatra PDF. It adds a better highlighting style -in my opinion- for the forward search feature. This is a modified version of the brilliant PDF viewer Sumatra PDF. Dec 2, 2009: As of r1506 and r1508, the extensions I created (see below) have been integrated in the official Sumatra PDF development code (thanks William Blum).Given this and that the extensions I built (see below) had also been integrated in the official code, I shall stop compiling builds. Jul 1, 2010: With release r1977 the linkify bug was finally fixed.
