Line Number

I don't know of any way, but TeX sometimes complains on errors

and

outputs the line number along.

There is \inputlineno in TeX, so \the\inputlineno or the lua equivalent \ctxlua{tex.inputlineno} will work.

The problem is exactly locate the error in source . Sometimes the errorline of the log are in someway imprecise , ie. "the errors is (are) around here " .

Yeah, that can't be helped (unless you don't do multi-line paragraphs nor macros)

we need something like a stack trace; also a lua "try/except" construct should be nice . -- luigi
