Re: --pdf -E line.mac not created?

[Karl Berry]

    Indeed.  The whole --Xopt, --pdf and so on given as argument for texi2any 
    is not documented, however, unless I missed something.

You're right.  I think I had been waiting until we had decided what the
behavior should be.  I'll try to write it up now.

    If -E is given to texi2any and the format is a format handled by
    texi2dvi, should the normal error handling apply?  That is error
    messages and warnings are output, an error stops the processing
    unless --force is set and other similar rules?

You're talking about something like this?
  texi2any -E somefile.out --pdf somefile.texi

Egad.  If somefile.texi has errors, the resulting mess will certainly be
quite confusing -- some errors coming from TeX (or texi2dvi) and others
from makeinfo.  But I think it's not our problem to straighten it out,
but rather to provide maximum information.  So if you agree, my
inclination is to say yes, normal error handling applies.

Thanks,
