My main reason for not using doc-view when writing documents is that it doesn't (and cannot) support forward/backward search using SyncTeX. > Tassilo (doc-view maintainer) wasn't too excited by my change because > it makes doc-view more complex and it only works for pdf (and it has a > few other downsides Hey, that shouldn't stop you from anything. ;-) Over time, I've received some more mails from people using doc-view when writing documents. I've always thought that were just some weird souls, but now we've reached a critical mass, and I come to agree that such a lazy conversion fits the bill very well. And of course, I wasn't really up to implementing a feature I don't have a need for myself. But since you already have it and people request it, just go ahead for Emacs 24.2. Bye, Tassilo
