bug#53749: 29.0.50; [PATCH] Xref backend for TeX buffers

[David Fussner]

Hi Lars,

The conclusion at the time was that the patch needed reworking before
Dmitry was happy with it, and I've not yet found enough time to do so,
though I'm still fully intending to make the necessary changes. Please
leave the bug open so I can restart the conversation when I have a
better patch. (Oh, and I'm more than happy to sign the copyright
assignment whenever Dmitry judges the patch to be ready.)

Thanks for the reminder.

David.
