General ⇒ Error Message referring to blank Line

[crimsoncalypso]

When I try to compile my article, I get an error message about an undefined control sequence. When I go to the error, it seems to be referring to the empty line between two paragraphs. There aren't any commands in the following paragraph and the only one in the preceding paragraph is for an umlaut. Any idea as to how to get fix the problem?

Could be an after-effect with the actual error located before the referred line. So perhaps take a look at the preceding paragraph. If that does not help, build a minimal example.

Apparently trashing the .aux files fixed the problem. I've since run into the same problem a couple times and trashing the .aux files have fixed it then, too. Seems strange, though.

I had a similar problem. The error message was "! Paragraph ended before \UTFviii@four@octets was complete." and the error line was empty, also I was using citation with a *.bib archive. I solved this problem by checking the correct citation structure, I corrected the wrong parts and the problem disappeared.
