Not enough information in console log #136

Open egcohen opened 8 years ago

egcohen commented 8 years ago

The log errors I get in the console are very terse, often to the point of being useless. Take for example the case where I have a macro \mymacro which calls another macro \foo. If \foo is undefined, the console shows ./test.tex:101: Undefined control sequence. [\mymacro], referring to the line where \mymacro is called. But the original log file shows the more useful 

! Undefined control sequence.
\mymacro ->Hello, Wor\foo 
                          ld!
l.101 \mymacro

indicating that the issue is actually with \foo, not \mymacro. Is it possible to get verbose error messages to show up in the console?

Thanks for bringing this up. You're right that it's quite annoying, and its certainly on the list of issues to address. I can't make any promises on a timeline, but we do welcome contributions if you have some time.
