Scripts for connecting LyX with evince for backward/forward search

The scripts have been initially developed by Benjamin Kellermann (2011)
as a derivation of gedit-synctex-plugin by José Aliste
(https://github.com/jaliste/gedit-synctex-plugin, 2010) and published on
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1716268.

The work here is based on a further derivation of this work for Sublime
Text LaTeX Tools
(https://github.com/SublimeText/LaTeXTools/tree/master/evince).

Adaptations for the use with LyX as well as the initial translation of
the evince_sync bash script to python have been done by myself.

The python code (particularly evince_sync_lyx) needs audit!

===============================================
FORWARD AND BACKWARD SEARCH WITH LYX AND EVINCE
===============================================
For the forward and backwards (reverse) search feature in general, please refer to
Help > Additional Features, sec. 5.6 and 5.7 in LyX.
SETUP
=====
* Install the files evince_sync_lyx, evince_forward_search and evince_backward_search
in your binary directory (e.g., ~/bin).
* Assure all three files are executable.
* In LyX, go to Tools > Preferences ... > File Handling > File Formats > Format, select
the appropriate output format [e.g., PDF (pdflatex)], set "Viewer" to "Custom" and
enter evince_sync_lyx as custom viewer (in the field right to the combo box).
Hit "Apply" and "Save".
* Go to Tools > Preferences ... > Output > General and enter the following PDF command
to Forward Search: evince_forward_search "$$o" $$n "$$f"
Again, hit "Apply" and "Save".
Forward and Backward search should work now (backward search from within evince is triggered
by <Shift> + <Left Click>).
HISTORY
=======
The scripts have been initially developed by Benjamin Kellermann (2011) as a derivation
of gedit-synctex-plugin by José Aliste (https://github.com/jaliste/gedit-synctex-plugin,
2010) and published on https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1716268.
The work is based on a further derivation of this work for Sublime Text LaTeX Tools
(https://github.com/SublimeText/LaTeXTools/tree/master/evince).
Adaptations for the use with LyX have been done by Jürgen Spitzmüller <spitz@lyx.org>
in 2017.
CONTACT
=======
Please send bug reports and suggestions (related to LyX-evince synchronization) to
lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
Usage questions should be addressed at lyx-users@lists.lyx.org.
