is it i have to update my latex?

[Juanjo]

is it i have to update my latex?

Yes, of course, as soon as you can. MikTeX 2.2 is too outdated.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi Shamila,

welcome to the board!
I agree with Juanjo. MiKTeX 2.7 is the most recent version, see miktex.org.

Further it seems that you try to use pdf features without pdflatex, that would cause a conflict. The warning "Package graphics Warning: pdftex option does not work with standard TeX." and the error "Undefined control sequence ... pdfliteral" are showing the use of pdftex, but the first line of the log says that standard TeX is used.
Either remove the option pdftex from every package (graphicx for instance) or compile with pdflatex.

oh i see.
then t will get the miktex 2.7.
In order to install miktex 2.7, should i remove miktex 2.2 ?
i afraid that the previous work will delete.
What is the better way for installation.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi,

you could make a copy of your previous work to be safe. I recommend to make backups frequently.
I would remove 2.2 bevor installation of 2.7, but I think 2.7 would also work if you just install it over.

Hi,

I don't open another thread, because I'm getting a similar error message: "undefined control sequences", which I can't fix... I'm still learning LaTex!

This is the error message:

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.
l.138 \@inifulldiagram

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

and this is the code:

Code: Select all

    \ifnum #3>#4 \errmessage{Nevalida nombro da truoj!} \fi

    \bao@diagram #1-#2:#3-#4 
    }

\def\bao@inifulldiagram{\bao@inidiagram a-f:1-10 }

\@inifulldiagram

Can you help me to understand what's wrong?

Thanks,
Nino

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi Nino,

\@inifulldiagram is just not defined. Did you write that code by yourself?
What should \@inifulldiagram do?

Stefan

[NinV]

Hi Stefan,

Hi Nino,
Did you write that code by yourself?

No! That code is based on an existenting sty-file: go.sty

\@inifulldiagram is just not defined.
....

Isn't the following a right definition?

Code: Select all

\def\bao@inifulldiagram{\bao@inidiagram a-f:1-10 }

\bao@inidiagram is defined at the beginning of the posted code.

What should \@inifulldiagram do?

It designs four rows of eight circle each.

The strange thing is that I get the right picture together with the error message!

Thanks for your help,
Nino

[Stefan Kottwitz]

\bao@inifulldiagram and \@inifulldiagram are different names. \bao@inifulldiagram is defined and can be called, \@inifulldiagram is not defined, you cannot call that.
I guess you want to call \bao@inifulldiagram in the last line, because similar code of go.sty shows:

Code: Select all

\def\inifulldiagram{\inidiagram a-t:1-19 }

\inifulldiagram % initialization

So just insert bao.

I misunderstood the guides. I thought that the prefix of '@' was by default the name of the file; so in my case I thought that '@'='bao@'!

I inserted 'bao', but now in the pdf there is a first page with only a '0' at the left top corner and I get the following message:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

You're in trouble here.  Try typing  <return>  to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X <return>  to quit.
