WP:GPG is clear that a subject needs multiple independent in-depth references. Not lists or quick capsules, not self-reported, etc. Please find and add so this article doesn't wind up going to WP:AFD. DMacks ( talk) 16:25, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
I'd like to have a citation for the claim that the Zathura document viewer was named after the Zathura film. I thought it was fairly self-evident since the software is created by a group called "Programs with Movie Titles", but I also placed a citation to a Linux and Life article.
This citation was removed however with the edit summary: "I don't believe this ref will pass WP:RS since it seems anyone can write articles http://www.linuxandlife.com/p/write-for-linux-and-life.html".
I'd like to rebut that although anyone can submit articles to Linux and Life, they need to be reviewed and accepted by an editor. This potentially makes Linux and Life more like a newsblog than a self-published source.
My contention seems similar to WP:RS/Noticeboard#Softpedia Linux Software Reviews. In that discussion, no firm consensus has been won, but the balance of opinion seems to be in favour of admitting such citations.
I wondered if I could get more opinions about whether the Linux and Life link is a valid citation, or other ideas about what might make a better citation. Cryptarch ( talk) 21:51, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
Look at how it's referenced at https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/. zathura should not have its first letter capitalized. 108.200.140.213 ( talk) 21:53, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
I don't believe the section on Kile is relevant to this page; it should be removed.

if __name__ == '__main__':
m = re.match(r'file:(\S*)#src:(\S*) (\S*)', sys.argv1])
if m:
pdf = m.group(1)
line = m.group(2)
tex = m.group(3)
args = line + ':0:' + tex
subprocess.call(['zathura', '--synctex-forward', args, pdf])
followed by
$ chmod +x zathuraforward.py
$ sudo cp zathuraforward.py /usr/local/bin
Zathura is ready for the forward search. In Kile → Setting → Configure Kile → Build → Forward pdf, set the viewer command to be zathuraforward.py with the option '%target', which will pass the line number, tex file name, and pdf file name to Zathura through the python script. To get inverse search done, add following two lines to ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc
set synctex true
set synctex-editor-command "kile --line %{line} %{input}"
