Message supression revisited.
I compile a Context file using an F key in my Gvim session. I I waste a lot of time watching messages scroll past in my Gvim window. What I am looking for is a command line switch or a combination of command line switches that will suppress ALL messages except for: 1. error messages that cause the compile to halt. 2. The message(s) that tells me that compilation is completed. If necessary I can live without this message. With most programs one can divert all ordinary messages to /dev/null but fatal error messages still return to the console or the console-equivalent (the 2> messages in Linux-speak.). Can this be done? Is there a way to modify texexec.rb to do this? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

How about a different approach. Set the makeprg to texmfstart texexec. Then set the appropriate errorformat. Then map your F key to :make | copen. That way, vim will parse texexec's output and show only the lines that have errors in the copen window. Latex-suite does something similar for latex. If you know the format of all the error messages that tex and context spew out, writing an error format is not difficult. As a bonus, you can jump to the line containing the error. Aditya

Very interesting approach. But it would be better if the nonfatal error messsages were not issued in the first place. I will try what you suggest and see how the timing is. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com
