CTAN update: texfot
by CTAN Announcements 30 Aug '23

30 Aug '23

Karl Berry submitted an update to the texfot package. Version: 1.50 2023-08-29 License: pd Summary description: Filter clutter from the output of a TeX run Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- texfot is a small Perl script to filter the online output from a TeX run, attempting to show only those messages which are likely to deserve some action. The TeX invocation itself remains unchanged. This small update only adds a note to the documentation that setting max_print_line can be useful to avoid TeX's folding of lines. (Thanks to Patrick Breheny for the suggestion.) Specifically: # When errors are missed due to TeX's folding of lines: texfot pdftex --cnf-line max_print_line=999 file.tex # Equivalently: env max_print_line=999 texfot pdftex file.tex This program has no home page other than CTAN and no mailing lists. Please send bug reports/requests/discussion directly to me, karl(a)freefriends.org. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/texfot The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/texfot/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
