I think I may be missing something here, perhaps somebody can explain
for me. Am I right in thinking that the whole and only point of this is
to produce, in the lists produced by htsearch, excerpts from the first
page of .PDF documents containing a search word?
Or does one really get a link which when followed brings up the .PDF
document open at the relevant page? If so, that would be quite something,
especially if it worked for a range of browsers. What would be the correct
HTML <a name="..."> tags for the anchors?
