My LaTeX code won't compile. It just hangs and doesn't give an error or any indication of what's wrong. How can I find the problem? (and quickly?).
Attached is my entire code. It's not an MWE because I have no idea where the problem is.

There is an error in your log-file stating
LaTeX is waiting for your input there (ignore and go on, abort compile, edit, help). Most editors run LaTeX in
Either reconfigure your editor, or use an editor like texworks where you can interact with the program latex via a simple command line interface.
Code: Select all
! LaTeX Error: \begin{oneparchoices} on input line 121 ended by \end{oineparchoices}.nonstopmode, meaning never wait for user input (the user is the editor, and he cannot decide what to do). I guess your editor is running in normal mode making LaTeX wait till user input was given, which will never happen. Either reconfigure your editor, or use an editor like texworks where you can interact with the program latex via a simple command line interface.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
