Bug "File ended while scanning use of \field.

Post by StudentInPanic »

Hi,

I am writing this post because I have not found a solution to the following problem anywhere else:
! File ended while scanning use of \field. < inserted text> \par \begin{document}.

I tried to remove parts of the text to find where the error is but the error persists.
This happened when I added a bibliographic source in my .bib, but when I removed it, the error persists.

I'm totally freaking out because my paper is due soon...

If someone could help me, thank you very much in advance

Without Infominimal working example to reproduce and examine the problem, I would say, that there is a } missing at the argument of a \field command.
Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms. :cry:

Hi, I deleted the .aux and .toc .tof .lot .bbl and bcf and it seems working.
I don't understand at all what happened because other than that, I didn't change anything. I hope this will not happen again.

Thank you for your answer and next time, I will think to put a minimal example.
