# LaTeXML::Error(3pm)

Internal Error reporting code.

## NAME

`"LaTeXML::Error"` - Internal Error reporting code.

## DESCRIPTION

`"LaTeXML::Error"` does some simple stack analysis to generate more informative, readable, error messages for LaTeXML.  Its routines are used by the error reporting methods from LaTeXML::Global, namely `"Warn"`, `"Error"` and `"Fatal"`.

No user serviceable parts inside.  No symbols are exported.

### Functions

- "$string = LaTeXML::Error::generateMessage($typ,$msg,$lng,@more);"

  Constructs an error or warning message based on the current stack and the current location in the document. `$typ` is a short string characterizing the type of message, such as "Error".   `$msg` is the error message itself. If `$lng` is true, will generate a more verbose message; this also uses the VERBOSITY set in the `$STATE`. Longer messages will show a trace of the objects invoked on the stack, `@more` are additional strings to include in the message.

- "$string = LaTeXML::Error::stacktrace;"

  Return a formatted string showing a trace of the stackframes up until this function was invoked.

- "@objects = LaTeXML::Error::objectStack;"

  Return a list of objects invoked on the stack.  This procedure only considers those stackframes which involve methods, and the objects are those (unique) objects that the method was called on.
