Hi, the pdfsync' folks are asking for something similar to the src special extension, but for use with pdf. I asked for Olaf's opinions, and got the following answer:
I got the implementation from elsewhere, and IIRC indirectly. In other words, I'm not completely certain at this point where it came from and who wrote it.
By the way, do bear in mind that the implementation is buggy (and pretty much intrinsically so without a lot of work): there are cases where enabling source specials will change the layout of a document.
so it looks that following this trace can introduce new problems. I would like to learn more about this issue -- does anyone has some ideas how it should be implemented? Thanh
