Confusing log output

[siefkenj]

On the command line, the CLI outputs

comprehensive messages, warnings, and errors:

even if there are no errors. At first glance, I see the word error and I think something has gone wrong. I don't think this text is helpful. A blank line would serve just as well to separate it from the previous diagnostic information.

I think that line is printed before we know if there are errors (which I think we basically pipe through from core PreTeXt). So I'm in favor of this but am not sure how trivial the change is.

[siefkenj]

Hmm. It sounds like pretext core should switch to using streams to send messages. That way they can be captured by the CLI and pretty-printed/filtered

[oscarlevin]

Perhaps core could report "None" when there are none. But this is definitely an issue that belongs with core, not the CLI.

@oscarlevin is right that this is not CLI territory, but rather for PreTeXt.

I have

• softened the lead-in message to the log
• made it appear only when there are messages to be seen

See PreTeXtBook/pretext@512775a

I'm not sure just where/how to best report a None. Perhaps a good Drop-In discussion with @oscarlevin?

Forgot to say: thanks @siefkenj for the report, much better now.
