How to catch syntax error and have human readable error ?

[jmcollin78]

Hi all,

I wonder how to catch syntax error in template and to have a human readable error (with line and what is wrong).
When I try/catch arround compile I've got only this mysterious error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token catch while compiling ejs]

Is there any syntax verification function or something like that ?
I suppose this is possible because this test page: http://www.embeddedjs.com/ does display syntax error in a friendly manner.

I try compileDebug and debug without success.

Thank's in advance.

Would really like to know a way to do this too.

@jmcollin78: http://www.embeddedjs.com/ is the documentation for a different implementation of EJS.
Ours is at http://ejs.co.

PR's #129 or #130 might make for better errors.
