Whoa! Darrel's & Berthold's ideas for a hypertext previewer send me giddy, but was the original question reaching so far? If a command line solution is adequate, ie interactive highlighting isn't needed, then how about a DVI processor? process -highlight "very important text" THAT.DVI | preview Two reasons why this is feasible: 1. EmTeX's previewer, "dviscr", already searches for text. 2. After looking at the DVI standard, level 0, draft 0.5, the idea _looks_ readily feasible. One reason why I boobooed: 3. If the standard input comes from the DVI processor's output stream, then where do the user's instructions go? gt
