Hi Everyone,I've just committed changes to the LaTeX bundle to support chktex,
Hi Brad, a couple of tweaks.
1) To make the chktex command really useful and not be drowned in a huge list of warnings, add a configuration file .chktexrc in the home directory. For instance I took the sample config file here http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/chktex/chktexrc and added the following options:
CmdLine { -q -n1 -n2 -n6 -n3 -n25 -n36 }
(in the sample config file the line of options is empty). This means: turn off copyright, and turn off some warnings I find not interesting (n1 is "Command terminated with space", etc -- the complete list is in the manual).
2) The warning messages output by chktex are very informative; the offending line is reported with a caret below the error. In your parser only the first line is kept and the others are discarded. Would it be possible to give the complete output? I understand there is a difficulty, namely the output should be in a monospaced font (otherwise the caret is misplaced and hence useless) so if this is too difficult forget it. But this would be really nice... (you could skim the list of warnings and see what are serious and what are not without going to the file)
Thanks, Piero
