I also attach the log file. It seems quite clearly to be a problem with the quotation, and seems to have nothing to do with 'Usage of a backslash in front of the name of an environment, e.g \begin{\itemize}'
Any ideas?

Hi,

I know this post i quiet old, but it is one of the first hits on google when you search for the error "Missing \endcsname inserted", and it doesn't fix the error.

For a solution to the original post (and to my students problem) the error can be averted by avoiding the use of non-english characters in the \label and \ref commands.

Hi Jacob,

welcome to the board!

Thanks for adding the information. Probably the error may be caused by different issues. I wish posters would provide the code, so we could see and fix the problem. Often they don't do, so we ask to see the .log file at least, to get some information, as here.

If you look below (when logged in), there's a list of similar topics, I hope one of those also might help if somebody comes here via google.

Feel free to answer any of the (possibly older) unanswered or unsolved questions, if you like. Like you already did above, it helps further visitors.

Stefan

Hello,

My problem is "solved", by just deleting all the Aux. files.
i.e. .aux, .brf, .out, .synctex.gz, .toc
hope, it helps to others as well.

Hi,
I got the same problem. Solved it by removing letters of foreign language in "\cite{what€ver}" (or it could also be an inappropriate symbol ex. "}")

Regards

I got this error "Missing \endcsname inserted" when I accidentally put "~" into a label.
