Dear all,
I'm using latexmk w/ pdflatex for my org2pdf exports. When I get a "PDF
file produced with errors.", then I go to "*Org PDF LaTeX Output*"
buffer to try to understand what is happening.
If I open the generated .tex w/ the default latex mode, I tex-compile it
(C-c C-c) w/ latexmk and then press "C-c `" to see the errors, I have
the original tex buffer on the lef with the cursor positioned around the
area of error, and a clear(er than before) explanation of the problem in
a buffer on the right.
I was wondering whether this latex "debugging" setup could be also used
during org export, and how, or more generally how I can improve the
debugging experience of latex export errors.
Thanks a lot,
Giacomo

I do pretty much the same as you: go to the LaTeX file to see if I can
identify the cause of the error reported in the PDF buffer. There's no
easy way to accomplish the same directly from org
unfortunately. Sometimes, the context given in the PDF output is enough
to point me to the right place in the org file but not often...
I look forward to seeing inputs from others on this.
I will say, however, that using org means less LaTeX errors than I would
usually encounter when writing LaTeX directly!
