Common error messages

    Hello all, I'm thinking about maybe writing a post (or more) on error messages and I thought I'd ask for your help. What sorts of error messages to you tend to encounter in your use of LaTeX? I don't do anything too complicated, so mine tend to be missing curly braces. I'm trying to think about the kinds of errors people new to LaTeX might encounter and not know how to fix. So: any help?

  2. This is an awesome idea. I will start documenting what error messages I get.

  3. "Undefined control sequence" caused by typos. That's a major one for me.

  4. Check this out

    The "missing item" error is fairly common when LaTeX thinks it should be in vertical mode but it's in horizontal mode (or the other way round?) because a whole bunch of things are made using the list environment...
