It is always possible to add warnings specific of converters, but I
would like to avoid that as much as possible, as I think that it is
confusing to have different warning messages for different output
formats.
I think if you are explicit about the warning CATEGORY, as in:
FILENAME:LINE:COL: WARNING (CATEGORY): BLURB
it will not be so confusing. Some ideas for CATEGORY are:
- texinfo
the input language
- info
- pdf
- ...
the output format (converter)
- format
compute one of ‘info’, ‘pdf’, ‘...’ from the args
- style
migration support, etc
Then the warnings facility could accept these symbols, comma-separated,
w/ ‘all’ to mean "enable all warnings", and "no-" prefixing to toggle.
Personally, i would most likely do:
makeinfo -o foo.info --warn=all,no-style foo.texi
and invest significant effort to eliminate the reported problems.
