There is a small problem here that I noticed when playing with this stuff about 2 weeks ago. If we generate the src-specials ourselves we have to provide a filename and a paragraph number. Sounds simple enough _but_ if we use LyX's paragraph id as the paragraph number we can have non-sequential numbering in the output file (since if we insert a paragraph at the start of the document it won't be numbered 0 or 1 it will n+1 where n is the number of paragraphs that have been inserted into the buffer starting at load time). This situation is okay so long as we do the reverse search in the same buffer as generated the dvi. If we keep a separate tally of the number of paragraphs written and then use the lyxserver to do the reverse lookup we must count paragraphs from the beginning of the buffer and not lookup the paragraph id. This might seem minor but it does complicate things. That said the source specials do offer a character offset entry which would allow us to setup reverse links from any inset also. Allan. (ARRae)
