I'm processing a large document, using Latexmk
in a Bash
environment. It would be very helpful if error and warning messages were somehow highlighted or coloured, in order to facilitate spotting them. Specially when dealing with Biber
and Biblatex
, catching the warnings on time is important, as they won't normally stop the compilation process when something comes out.
Until recently, I was using the LateX
bundle in TextMate
, which helped showing only the most important messages (errors, warnings, inputs, includes, etc.) See here:
But I became deceptioned by that bundle and now I am compiling everything directly in the shell (Bash
in Linux or Os X), as it gives me better control.
(Of course I could open the .log
file, and configure the editor to search for/highlight these items, but I was thinking of "in the fly" highlighting/colouring.)
Is it possible to colour-code the stdout
of latexmk
(or in general of the *Tex
bins)?
vim
implementation, but it can easily port to other editors
