A DOCUMENT user was doing a BL8 book build of several chapters, using REPORT.
In Chapter 3, she had wrongly coded <line>(smallskip) as <list>(smallskip), so
the bookbuild properly complained when the error was encountered. And it kept
right on processing.
A final output was produced, containing the chapters before and after 3, but
Chapter 3 was missing. Chapters 1 and 2 had the format expected for the REPORT
doctype. But Chapter 4 and subsequent chapters had very nicely indented
paragraph blocks, lists, etc.; looks very much like SOFTWARE.
1. Looks spurious, eh? Why would DOCUMENT have kept on processing?
2. Why would Chapter 3 have been dropped from the final output?
3. How, in the future, can the user get the indented paragraphs that
wrongly showed up? She's delighted with the "new" format
wants them all the time now!

| 690.1 | Bookbuilds continue when elements have errors | CLOSET::ANKLAM | Sun Jul 19 1987 14:31 | 22 | |
1. DOCUMENT is designed to keep on processing other elements in
a book build even if one file has E-level messages. This is
supposed to be viewed as 'friendly', that is if it's a real big
book and there's an error only in one file, you need only
reprocess the offending element and not have to re-run everything.
2. When it does encounter an element with an error, though, it
creates an empty output file (and says [0 blocks] in the output
listing, so that the rest of the book can be processsed through
the text formatter. That's why chapter 3 was missing.
3. The changed margins, etc. following chapter 3 are not explained
by the above. I am not sure what is happening, though it looks
like some grouping of margin changes hasn't been ended. Is
the .TEX file for chapter 3 really empty? I would like to know.
4. If she's delighted with the new format, Rose, you should make
her her own doctype. You are a whiz at that by now!

RE: .1, item 4... So much for trying to sneak one by and getting a freebie! Rose | |||||
| 690.3 | Freebie in Int. Off. Memo too? | IJSAPL::KLERK | Theo de Klerk | Tue Jul 21 1987 05:12 | 6 |
I think this same "freebie" creeped up in the European Interoffice Memo that I made (see other note /title=interoffice). Only, I don't like the freebie.. Any killer solution appreciated. Theo | |||||
