Charstyle are insets so that's easy, just copy and paste what is done for other insets (updateLabels() and addToToc()). Concerning environment, you have to read TocBackend.cpp and InsetText::addToToc(). Abdel.

Actually, I do the grep in my text editor and then jump to the line in the text editor as well (fine with simple text, not so nice with "rich" text or equations). I am still waiting for a lfun that allows opening a lyx file and place the cursor to the (at least approximate) position of a given line. Unfortunately, "server-goto-file-row" does not do this (instead it goes to the place indicated by the row in the exported latex source file). Günter

You can use the grep command on the source file to find all Story environments and you can use Search in a text editor on the source file to go to the places. Not nice but practical. Günter

SteveT Hi Steve, I think what you are looking for is implemented by the LyX 2.0-Advanced-Search-Feature by Tommaso Cucinotta, as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MR_O1ctIAY Is that it?

Again another search issue. this debate is somehow connected with this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg141358.html then some general lfun for search would be easy. pavel

I was wondering yesterday if this could be used : http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qtxmlpatterns.html It works on non-xml data and you can mash-up in one structure the LyX format and the external sources for example the bib fields or files inserted.

Thanks SteeveT I am not sure we have this in bigzilla but I agree it would be nice to have both in LyX and in bugzilla (if it is not there yet). Something that I had the need to recently was to find where a given bibliographic citation was used. Again another search issue. He he, in 1.6 you can use the navigator, there is a list of citation there in case you didn't notice :-) As for character style naigation, we could have something similar in 1.6.x. Abdel.
