Hello, =20 This is just to report a weird message happening when generating a = document: =20 Too many }=92s =20 Is there any solution to this because the package generates the document (219 pages) without any other problem apart this message? =20 Thank you, =20 Prof. Andr=E9 Luiz Tietb=F6hl Ramos, M.Sc.

Hi, this is usually caused by an uneven number of opening and closing curly brackets. To track the misleading bracket, look at the error message which should returns the lign number concerned (at least, this information is given by TeXnicCenter). If it does not, the only other may I know is to review completly you tex code to find it. Cheers, Corentin Fontaine PS : I am doubtful about the document being generated completely correctly as curly brackets are used for special commands... |

In fact, this is where haviong your document split into pieces and usong include helps a lot: just process one piece at a time until you find the piece that gives the error, after which the only way is to comment out portions of the file until you home in on the error - done judiciously it doesn't actually take all that long. A tool that can help is an editor like WinEdt with a brace matching and highlighting facility - but since the offending braces (missing and present may be separated by more than a screen. > Cheers, > > Corentin Fontaine > > PS : I am doubtful about the document being generated completely > correctly as curly brackets are used for special commands... Well, that's not quite correct: a missing } will cause TeX to insert one and it can easily happen accidentally in the correct place. In my experience, it's actually a common occurrence.

Hello, This is one of the most annoying mistakes. Winedt can alert you when a=20 bracket is missing, and can also search for it when you check of pairs. But often, the fastest procedure is= =20 to put \end in the middle of the paper, etc. and see via a binary search, where to mistake(s) occur. Or you can=20 check the output and notice, e.g., that sometimes many sections are=20 unnecessarily in italics, or packed as math fonts, etc. Michael At 11:56 24/06/2005 +0200, Corentin Fontaine wrote: >Hi, > >this is usually caused by an uneven number of opening and closing >curly brackets. >To track the misleading bracket, look at the error message which >should returns the lign number concerned (at least, this information >is given by TeXnicCenter).

The original message Too many }'s Should be followed by a line like l.82 ... the PC lets the video begin to corrupt. } where the offending line is shown, including the brace. The line number should be inside the module presently elaborated. To correct it you have to remove the closing brace, or then include a forgotten one at the right place (this could be difficult to find). Daniele=20 -----Original Message----- From: mik...@li...
