I type in this to the Texmaker and it gives me an error that the job has aborted because no legal \end command is found, even though it clearly is there.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

This document is compilable. Perhaps post your .log file here as attachment to a post, the cause can probably seen in the log.

Hi,

I'm also new to LaTeX and have a problem: For a thesis I am using a template created by a friend, but I can't get it to compile in either TeXnicCenter (1 or 2)/MikTex2.9 in Win7 or Kile 2.1.0/TeX-Live (2009-15, latest version in the repositories). However, it compiles just fine on his computer.

The error I get is:

[PDFLatex] finished with exit code 1
header.tex:0:Emergency stop

In this, header.tex is the main file of the template. It ends with the following (If needed, I could attach the entire file):

Code: Select all

I have tried commenting /input{hyphenation} and /makeindex out, but that does not change anything. I have checked for missing /end in all .tex files that are part of the template (there is no /begin of any kind in the header). I have removed and reinstalled Tex-Live-full and Kile (without the purge-option, though).

I would really appreciate some help, especially since the error message doesn't really point me towards any obvious reason.

Cheers,
Chris

So the problem got solved, proving me a total idiot. The main file was in fact a different one (which had header.tex as input file) and the compilation stopped due to a missing document body. Posting this just in case someone else runs across the same problem and wants to avoid looking like a fool

Hi, I am also facing the same problem. But I couldn't find a proper solution from this post. So please, let me know how can this problem be solved ?

[Johannes_B]

Hi and welcome.

There is no solution provided in this thread as it is document dependant.

Run your document using texworks and boil it down to a Minimal working example. Post this with an appropriate title and the log file in a new thread.

[krisnotchris]

@toobadbear I had that problem also, and I have no idea how I set settings.tex to be main... Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I came acrross your post after hours of online research

[astawsky]

You can click in the top left where it says menu with the overleaf symbol. Then you'll be able to change the main file to be main.

Thanks man. I ran into same problem in overleaf where the main document was not set. I have just set it and worked.
