LaTeX Errors: Document

Hello, this is the second post about Errors, in this time we are going to talk about Errors in the Document

I am going to write the error in this format, the description of the error in this format and the possible solution in normal format

General Errors in the Document

  • Improper prevdepth You forgot to close the environment with \end{myEnvironment} Find what is the environment which is causing troubles and then close it
  • LaTeX Error: \begin{Environment} on input line *** ended by \end{OtherEnvironment} You misspelled the name of the environment when closing it Check if the name of the environment is the same and correct it -No error message, just paused You have forgotten to put \end{document} Put that instruction and everything is going to be ready :)
  • LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}
    • Some contents which must be inside the \begin{document} are outside this
    • You have forgotten the \begin{document} environment

Check that environment and the instructions that you have put and write them inside \begin{document}

  • Missing endcsname inserted You put a \ in the name of an environment, for example, \begin{\document} Check the name of the environments and delete the \
  • LaTeX Error: verb illegal in command argument You have written the verb (verbatim) command inside another command

    • If you want the style of verbatim in your text you can try {\tt your Text}
    • Put the verb command outside that environment
  • LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode You nested some environments which can not be nested There is not a simple solution for this, because, sometimes you want to do something specific but LaTeX does not support that.

    • Try to put the environment outside the other environment
    • Search for some environments which can do that you want

This is all for today, thanks :)
