I figure you can always copy the annotated files to the source if that=92s=
 a problem. When I went through the exercise of partially reconstructing =
schematics from an Osmond netlist a few months ago, I put the result in =
a separate git branch as source.

Most people on big projects who use my schematics are reading the PDF =
=93user=92s manual=94. I generate that by incorporating =
forward-annotated PDF schematics and other design information into a =
LaTeX document.
