Just output errors in a way that an IDE can understand, so you can navigate through errors visually. Then you have all the lines you want before and after the error. Speaking for myself, but I suspect the majority of others, programmers do not want the error output of a compiler inflated by an order of magnitude with snippets of the source code. [People do use lex, yacc, et al for other things than compilers that run under IDEs. -John]
