But my "problem" (if I can even call it that, since grep is already a solution, just maybe not the best one :D) is, that I could easily miss such small changes. I'm working on technical documentation that even has parts that are automatically generated (from XML files). I just update whatever is necessary (the document itself, or just the input files), commit them to SVN and our CI server grabs them, and runs ConTeXt. If ConTeXt returns with a return code > 0, the build is marked as "failed" and all necessary admins (me and my colleague) are informed via eMail and/or RSS feed. If the build succeeds, the generated PDF is automatically distributed to the users. I consider wrong references an error, so I would like the build to fail (imho referencing something that doesn't exist is like using a macro that doesn't exist, which fails too). But as I said: if context can't treat that as error, I'm fine with it too and will continue to grep the logfile. It's just curiosity if there may already be a setting/parameter/whatever to get context to be more "restrictive". -- Best Regards, Andreas ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
