| Summary | 0000401: Lua interface to \errmessage | ||||
| Description | From Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard: Unless I'm mistaken, there is currently no Lua interface to TeX's primitive \errmessage (and \errhelp). Of course, there is Lua's error(), but it doesn't exactly allow to generate nice-looking messages :-) Did I miss something? Is there anything like this planned? (A function like tex.errmessage(<string> message, [<string> long_help]) would be great, for example.) Thanks, Manuel. | ||||

it's probably mentioned somewhere in a status report, but error messages will be dealt with once we're close to 1.0 as at that moment the code is ready for it; much code needs to be unwoven |
|

It think I read something like that somewhere, though I can't find the reference. I was thinking that maybe an interface to \errmessage wouldn't be too hard to implement (I may be completely mistaken here) and would fill the gap while waiting for a more complete error system overhaul. Of course it was only a suggestion and I don't mind waiting. |

Actually, this request is quite easy to implement in a clean way, so that is what I'll do |
|
|
in the meantime you can do a tex.print("\\errmessage{.....}") |
|
|
A tex.print("\\errmessage{.....}") doesn't work if you're in the middle of an \edef or similar situation. I'm glad to know this request is easy to implement, thanks for looking into it, Taco. |

commit 3758: tex.error(<string> s) tex.error(<string> s, <table> help) This creates an error somewhat like the combination of \tex{errhelp} and \type{errmessage} would. During this error, deletions are disabled. The array part of the \type{help} table has to contain strings, one for each line of error help. |
