Frequently Asked Questions

How can I ask a question not covered here?

See Contributing for how to report bugs and ask questions.

Opening a github issue is preferred, because then other people can find the question and answer.

How do I suppress the output?

To suppress output, just call TransitionListener without the verbose flag

$ tl -c config/example_point.yaml

instead of

$ tl -c config/example_point.yaml -v

How should I cite TransitionListener?
