I cant see some of my words after compiling

Post by polovcev »

Hi guys,

I am new here and a beginner with Latex too, and naturally I have a problem. I am using Texmaker 4.5 and when I am writing some of my sentences are hollow. There are still there, but after i compile the text, they are not visible on the pdf side.

I would be thankful for any help.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

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 and welcome,

have you checked the log-file? Are there any errors are warnings around? Can you see the sentences with another viewer?

Can you create a minimal compiling working example, so we can reproduce the issue?

Thanks for the help.

I have recreited the document and I find the problem. Somehow after the "%" everything goes hollow. The next sentence is normal, then again the same thing.

Do you now why is using "%" is a problem?

The percent sign is the comment starter in any LaTeX file, which should be mentioned in every LaTeX introductioin. Maybe you should read one.

If you need to typeset the percent sign, use \%, or even better: Make use of package siunitx.
