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.

(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.
