Feature Requests item #4342, was opened at 2011-07-27 19:57 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Sébastien Wilmet (swilmet) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Output clearer for parsing it more easily Category: None Group: None Resolution: None Initial Comment: Hello, Parsing the output of pdfTeX is not an easy task. Thus it would be nice to have a clearer output. The main issues I see currently: - Opening and closing files with parentheses: when we find a closing parenthesis, we are not sure it closes a file. - A context from the document is sometimes printed below a warning or an error, but those contexts don't have delimiters. - A line can contain several information, and one information can be split into several lines. It doesn't make the parsing easier. There was a mail on the mailing list about the same issue: http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/pdftex/2009-March/007960.html Best regards, Sébastien ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=496&aid=4342&group_id=106
