Error Messages and Warnings

Errors

There are many ways to produce an error in LaTeX. TeX error messages are not always very informative. KOMA-Script therefore tries to detect the more common errors before they produce confusing error messages and shows them. Although KOMA-Script usually provides detailed help on the error message, most LaTeX editors neither request nor display this help. Therefore we deal with some error messages in more detail.

• ! LaTeX Error: File `scrpage2.sty' not found.
• ! Undefined control sequence … \ifpdftex
• ! Undefined control sequence … \ifVTeX
• Class scrartcl Error: undefined old font command `…'.

Warnings

Besides the error messages there are also various warnings. For these, further explanations are partly useful as well.

• Class scr… Warning: \float@addtolists detected!
• Class scr… Warning: Usage of package `minitoc' … not recommended
• LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `…' in size <…> not available size <…> substituted on input line ….
• Package scrbase Warning: Usage of deprecated command `\if…'.
• Package scrhack Warning: unknown \lstlistoflistings definition found!
