Description:

Emacs interface for xdvi inverse search with emacs

Inverse search means that

* A mouse click (Ctrl-Button1 by default) in the xdvi window can open an editor with the corresponding place in the (La)TeX source (also called `reverse search'), and
* xdvi can jump to (and visually highlight) a position in the DVI file that corresponds to a certain line number in the (La)TeX source file (`forward search').

This functionality is supported by xdvi(k) versions 22.38 and upwards. It uses so-called `source specials' in the DVI file, which can be inserted via a macro package or a command-line option to the (La)TeX program (executable).
