That would make sense mostly if AUCTeX was changed to do its error parsing all at once (like preview-latex does). Then one could put clickable overlays on the error messages with markers pointing into the source (so that the error positions are kept even when one is editing in between) and little red dots in the fringe to point out the error position. And have a mouse-over-display of the error help, and a context menu offering, for example, a jump into the log file as well. And maybe have an error overview mode where everything but the error description is folded away, and an error following mode like with grep. I am not sure that unifying the parser would actually be easy and/or worth the trouble. At least the preview-latex magic dealing with ^^@ and similar quote characters should at one point of time get its bowels moved into AUCTeX, and have them used there for accuracy. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
