Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ File ended while scanning use of \TX@get@body

[wmcass]

Hi,

Am using a stata package to output to latex and create tables in a latex package that I am unfamiliar with. Not quite sure what the bug in the outputted latex code (below) is and would appreciate advice.

This generates a "File ended while scanning use of \TX@get@body". I've read through some help, but can't find a solution.

Thanks in advance for help

An error message like that tells you that TeX is for some reason reading further than it should or needs to. Most often, a closing brace is missing.

In your case, the reason is pretty simple. You have been a bit slopy while typing. \midrule \textbf{Race: white) \\ If we minimalize that further, we get \textbf{) <- All La/TeX finds here is an opening brace and a closing parenthesis that it typesets in bold, but it never sees the closing brace.
