One could make a similar argument for compilers, too, but can they not have great error messages?

- shakna 8y agoThe error messages from LaTeX are intended to be parsed by a machine. They aren't meant to be the first stop. If we want to compare it to other compilers, LaTeX outputs similar error messages to C++, that is, it gives you the error tree, not an error message. It's output isn't meant to be the final stop for the user. It's one stop short.
- ISL 8y agoIs there a LaTeX wrapper that gives comprehensible error messages? ("Sure looks like you left off a } on line 30")
