Basically Emacs runs texexec in a buffer in --batchmode, then tries to parse the output whether an error occurred and where. Unfortunately with texexec I don't get any error messages (besides the return code), so if something goes wrong, the user only knows that something isn't right, but not what it is. (It also doesn't print page numbers, either.) In comparison, LaTeX when run in \nonstopmode prints the error message normally and continues to process the file; that makes it easy to parse it, jump to the line where the error was detected and even present the user with an explanation of the error message. In order to get similar features with ConTeXt, it would be nice if texexec could be made to be a little bit more verbose in its --batchmode output. Is there a way to do this currently? Philipp
