General Help, Underlying Issue

Post by m2244 »

I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now. When I get one issue fixed, there seem to be a few more that pop up. I was using overleaf, which I like but the error messages are confusing. It's telling me that the errors are on lines 212 and 219, but I think there's an underlying issue.

Could someone help me with this?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Welcome to the forum!

There are 2 small issues:
  • In line 211, the width argument for \begin{minipage} is missing.
  • In line 246, a closing brace is missing. The \href argument has been closed, but not the \textnormal argument.

@Stefan

YOU NAILED IT!!!

You're great. Thank you very much.

Latex is new to me and not my primary role, just trying to add this to our processes.

Thanks again.

No problem! Just let us know in case of any issue. If you post complete code, as above, it often takes just a minute to figure it out.
