Hello,
I hope this is the right list for my question.
The choice of pdftex log line breaks at 80 chars makes automatic parsing of errors and reporting the chosen ones by 3rd party apps unnecesarilly hard.
I couldn't find any command line switch to turn this feature off (CMIIW) and using max_print_line variable is problematic (you don't want to mess with texmf.cnf as an independent app and using it as environment variable will give you headache with portability to different platforms).
hm, you can have an additional cnf file in your local tree with overloads ... messing around with that and/or env vars is normally the least of ones problems with using tex as component
Would be adding command line parameter (like --max-print-line=num) or even disabling the line break by default possible in some future versions? Or is there some better option I missed? it makes no sense to add tons of extra arguments to suit specific needs while there is the cnf file that can do the job
