How to find an error line number ?

Post by thierrySN »

Dear all,

Now, I'm using TeXnicCenter to produce LaTex document but I've some difficulties with the 'Build Output' window: the errors are identified (ex: pdf Latex> ! missiiong inserted $) but the line number wher the error occurs is not mentionned....and when I click on the error ...nothing happens , I mean the cursor is not positionned on the error).

I suppose that I don't understand something in the software utilisation and/or configuration


Thanks for your suppoet

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Thierry,

welcome to the board!

Which version of TeXnicCenter are you using? The most recent one is version 2 beta 1. If you use an older version, perhaps update before dealing with problems.

Hi Thierry,

I don't have TeXnicCenter right here, as I currently work on Linux. However, one way I can tell is to look into the .log file, which contains the error and the line number where it occured.
