Bugs item #579, was opened at 2006-07-12 17:17 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=579&group_id=106 Category: None Group: v1.30.0 Status: Closed Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tobias (towolf_) Assigned to: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Summary: The log file is wrapped Initial Comment: [Note that I can’t tell which part of my install is responsible for this] when I compile my source with $ pdflatex source.tex the log that is output is wrapped at column 79, which leads to unfortunate line breaks that make quickfixing my doument harder. Often the line number is split off and escapes my errorformat string for Vim. Can the wrapping be disabled? My Tex distro is Tetex 3 but I compiled pdftex 1.40 beta from source.

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1608 In web2c based systems, you can change a set of parameters is texmf.cnf: max_print_error_line = 79 % for tex errors half_error_line = 50 % lhs of tex error context line = 79 % for all other messaging ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hans Hagen (hagen) Date: 2006-07-13 10:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=927 i can think of a solution where it is controlled by a variable in the cnf file pdftex.logbreaks=f or so ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tobias (towolf_) Date: 2006-07-13 01:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3729 I see that backwards compatibility is a crucial and laudable aspect of the Tex system. However, when facing my problem I would prefer no wrapping for my log. Is it possible to make a small-scale personal modification and can you point me in the general direction of the place in the source if you think it is? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2006-07-12 18:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 The wrapping of lines in the log is a (mis)feature of TeX, so there is nothing we can change about that without breaking compatability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=579&group_id=106
