Hello LuaTeX developers, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. In log message, luatex engine produces slightly different error context from what pdftex does. Here is a sample code: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nullam eu ante vel est convallis dignissim. } Nulla posuere. \bye ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When I process this file by luatex, it results in the following error: ------ luatex result ------------------------------------------------- ! Too many }'s. l.1 Nullam eu ante vel est convallis dignissim. } Nulla posuere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On the other hand, pdftex results in: ------ pdftex result ------------------------------------------------- ! Too many }'s. l.1 Nullam eu ante vel est convallis dignissim. } Nulla posuere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The output of luatex is shifted by two characters compared with that of pdftex. (I'm using TeX Live 2021.) This discrepancy confuses preview-latex (subsystem of AUCTeX), which depends on the precise position of the log messages: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=54200 I'm not sure whether this behavior is a bug or not, but is it something I can expect to be fixed? If not, is there any workaround to make the output the same as pdftex? (e.g. command line option) Regards, Ikumi Keita #StandWithUkraine #StopWarInUkraine
