Reverse DVI with multiple file document

Post by dj_bridges »

I have been searching for an answer to this, but so far have failed to find it. Sorry if it has already been answered somewhere.

Essentially I am writing a large report (similar to a PhD thesis) that is written in a number of tex files, with a master file that includes all of the daughter files. I often want to work on the layout of individual files and go between the DVI and tex file using the reverse search etc. However it appears that when working with multiple file documents, the reverse DVI merely takes one to the \include{chapter} and not to the chapter tex file. Is there anyway that I can get the reverse DVI to take me to the relevant tex file and the relevant position in that tex file?

I understand that I could put all of the information in the master document in each of the chapter documents i.e. make them seperate single file documents, but I assume there must be a way to do it from the master document?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Kile with KDVI and TeTex.

May not be of direct help to you, but I do work with vim. My main file has \input chap<n>. When I Ctrl-click on any page, the relevant file is opened and cursor approximately positioned in the file.

Since this is a Kile issue, maybe you will have better luck if you check out the kile mailing lists or forums.
