Emacs TeXInfo mode, reverse search, and Texinfo-generated DVIs?

Emacs TeXInfo mode, reverse search, and Texinfo-generated DVIs?

[Charlie Zender]

Hi,

I starting using Emacs with 'kdvi-search and LaTeX with --src-specials
so that I get "reverse search" capabilities when between my KDVI viewer
and my Emacs .tex buffer. I work on a number of long .tex files and find
this ability very useful. My question is if/how to get this working with
TeXInfo?

I tried adding a "texinfo-mode-hook" a la the working LaTeX mode hook
for kdvi-search but Emacs texinfo mode seems not to understand it.
Yes, I am sure the Texinfo-generated DVI contains the necessary 
--src-specials
information (next version of texi2dvi will pass through the --src-specials
command straight to TeX, for now I just export TEX='tex --src-specials').
Does anyone have reverse search working on Texinfo-generated DVIs?

Thanks,
Charlie

WFM, with AUCTeX's texinfo mode.

Bye, Reiner.

When I use AUCTeX's texinfo mode I can click on the DVI and it
will open an emacs window with the source buffer positioned at
the correct location. What I would like to get working is the
the reverse, i.e., the ability to stay in my Emacs source buffer
and execute an Emacs command that causes the DVI to move to the
location corresponding to the point in the source buffer.
Do you have that working? If so, please send exact commands.

Here's what I tried but this fails with AucTeX texinfo mode (works
fine with LaTeX and TeX modes, though):

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 
'kdvi-jump-to-line)))
(add-hook 'tex-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 
'kdvi-jump-to-line)))
(add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 
'kdvi-jump-to-line)))

C-c C-t C-s turns on source special mode, and C-c C-v will kick the
viewer.  Of course, since the default viewer is xdvi, you will have to
change the values in TeX-output-view-style properly so that it will
also kick kdvi.  With luck, just adding the %dS option will work.

It seems backwards to use something like "kdvi-search" in connection
with AUCTeX: AUCTeX has all the necessary tools, hooks and
cranberries.
