Thank you. I did not realise that the number indicated the line where the error occurred. I have updated the Emacs mode to display an error message and highlight the line where the error occurred now.
Is there a way to get more detailed information as to what the error was? Right now I simply display "Parse error" but it would be nice if it was a bit more precise.
