[XeTeX] How to reduce terminal output from xelatex?

[ShreeDevi Kumar]

To summarize, I had been using some unrecognized options and was giving
them within quotes, so they were not taking effect.

I am now using the following:

  *  xelatex -interaction=batchmode  -halt-on-error *

*​*-interaction=batchmode makes TeX 'quieter', so in a batch file that plus
> -halt-on-error can make sense for 'either make the PDF or abort early'
> runs.
