At the risk of preaching the virtues of XPath ad-nausium, we could use XPath to
link the text to the XML. Each text node would be mapped with an XPath
expression that uniquely identifies it's place in the XML tree. It would avoid
the possible problems of white space when calculating document text offsets.
Just offering it as one solution.

Subject: [brailleblaster] What will the text view show?
If I remember right, in the original spec what is now called the text view
would present an appearance like that of a simple word processor, with
paragraphs, headings, tables, etc. Alternatively, it could be switched to show
the original print for each line in the Braille view. I would like to know the
present "views" on this matter, so I know what to develop in the document
package.
Thanks,
John
