General ⇒ pdflatex | too verbose !!

[sebsheep]

Hello,

pdflatex ouputs a lot of text in my term useless for me (anyway, it is too fast to hope understand something). Plus, most of the time, warnings are flooded. Is it an option to make this command more quiet ? For example, to output something ONLY for errors and warnings ?

I've searched in the man, but neither "quiet" nor "verbose" match in the page, and I did'nt find anything by a fast overview.

Thx,

These information can be very useful in case of upcoming problems. And warnings should not be ignored, but fixed by remedy of their cause. All information you see on the screen is also written to the log file (*.log). So you have all the time in the world to read it afterwards.

Nevertheless you can try the silence package to establish a filter for certain messages. I recommend to use it with caution.
