Text Formatting ⇒ New Help

[jdcastanier]

Hi, I'm new NEW to LaTeX. Can you help me with this beginner error?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, landscape, twocolumn]{book}

\usepackage[a4paper, inner=1.7cm, outer=2.7cm, top=2cm,
bottom=2cm, bidingoffset=1.2cm]{geometry}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\end{document}

I get this error:
Undefined control sequence.
\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, landscape, twocolumn]{book}

Whoever you are, hero out there, thank you.

Please always mark your code as code. You can do so using by selecting the code and then click onto the Code button. Note, only correct marked code can be executed directly on this page and can be copied correctly. Not marked code can even be broken by the formatting of the page. And also copy error messages as code from the log-file. The exact message with and indent is important for the semantic.

However, with your code I get other error messages:

Code: Select all

! Package keyval Error: bidingoffset undefined.

See the keyval package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.1005 \ProcessOptionsKV[p]{Gm}
                               %
? 

This is because geometry does not have an option bidingoffset but bindingoffset

Code: Select all

./test.tex:17: Undefined control sequence.
l.17 \blindtex
              [6]

This is because the correct command is \blindtext, but you've used \blindtex.

So correct code would be:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, landscape, twocolumn]{book}

\usepackage[a4paper, inner=1.7cm, outer=2.7cm, top=2cm,
bottom=2cm, bindingoffset=1.2cm]{geometry}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\blindtext[6]
\end{document}

You can try it, using the Run LaTeX here button below the code (because I've marked the code as code).
