I'm about to have a lengthy (2,000+ page) document published. Normally if it compiles and looks okay, I regard that as meaning no errors appeared, but I've noticed that sometimes ConTeXt will still compile, even if something isn't displayed on screen as it should:
(1) I tried placing a table inside a startitemize environment, as instead of it not compiling, it left a message in the document warning that wasn't supported.
(2) In another case, I had an image that ConTeXt couldn't find, as I mispelled the filenmame, and it fully compiled and made a PDF, without me noticing.
(3) Or maybe in some case, a font couldn't be found for a specific character, so a single character in the file isn't displaying.
Those are just some examples; I intended for something to be printed on the PDF, but it isn't showing there.
Since a document of this size will have a lot of messages, is there a way to adjust the settings, from "show everything" to "show some" to "show only serious errors"? Or maybe to use > to send the errors to another file for careful study? (using Linux if that matters)
You can enable trackers like
\enabletrackers[figures.*]
But that just gives more log messages for debugging.
You get the list of all trackers with:
context --global m-trackers.mkiv
For your use case, directives are more helpful, like
\enabledirectives[logs.errors=*] (i.e. break at every error)
AFAIK that just handles missing characters, references and modules ATM, but this information might be outdated.
You get all directives with
context --global m-directives.mkiv
