Summary


This chapter prepared us to solve problems that might occur.

Specifically, we have learned about:

  • Locating and fixing errors

  • Understanding warning messages

  • Analyzing LaTeX's typesetting log

Correcting errors is absolutely necessary. Dealing with warnings is a valuable bonus.

If you encounter any problem which you aren't able to solve on your own, don't hesitate to ask for help on a LaTeX Internet forum. You've got the tools within this chapter, and also:

  • You know how to create a tiny but complete example which demonstrates the problem

  • You are able to report an error message

  • You know about the log file and could provide its information

For LaTeX friends online, it's often an easy task to use this information in solving your problem, and definitely a lot of LaTeX enthusiasts have fun in helping other LaTeX users.
