[texhax] Improved TeX error reporting - feature request

[Johan Glimming]

Hi

I think the error handling in (La)TeX is not as good as it perhaps  
could be. Consider the following

\begin{slide}{Introduction}
% \end{slide}

1000 lines of code involving \begin{slide}\end{slide}

In this case latex could not tell me that in fact it was the _very  
first_ slide that did not have a closure w.r.t. the environment. I do  
not know much about what's going on "under the hood", but surely  
there is some (slight) improvement to make here other than just  
"missing bracket inserted" etc (which currently gives NO indication  
to which begin{slide} it found that it could not match)...

I have talked to another PhD student and he shares my opinion, so I  
guess it's not just me! ;-)

Best Wishes,
Johan Glimming
