* What to do when ConTeXt not revealing the error details?

The PDF can open, but after about 100 pages in, the content starts appearing all in the wrong place. Usually when I compile, it says there is an error, and I just scroll up until I find the details. I've scrolled through the output, and *.log file, but cannot see anything that looks like an error. It could be that just because the document is so long (about 1200 pages), I can't find the error among the huge logs, but I looked through them all carefully. How can I isolate the error when ConTeXt isn't showing it? Is there some setting for showing only errors, or revealing more details about an error? --Joel [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1412 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 496 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

This freqeuntly doesn’t cause an error because the engine is happily packing my entire book into a margin figure. See if there something you should have stopped near the place where things go bad? Good luck!
