MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ pgfmoduleplot.code.tex(2): Error: ! Text line contains an in

[12345]

Hey!

Suddenly my project started to do the following error, I have no clue why I already tried to remove the commands from package fancyheadings but the problem it is not there (also because first it worked fine!). Can someone help me? Thank you very much!

"c:\program files\miktex 2.7\tex\generic\pgf\modules\pgfmoduleplot.code.tex(1): Package fancyheadings Warning: Please stop using fancyheadings!
"c:\program files\miktex 2.7\tex\generic\pgf\modules\pgfmoduleplot.code.tex(2): Error: ! Text line contains an invalid character. (and repeats this error in the output window 100 times)

"c:\program files\miktex 2.7\tex\generic\pgf\modules\pgfmoduleplot.code.tex(1): Package fancyheadings Warning: Please stop using fancyheadings!

This message says it all. Simply don't include that package. Moreover it is obsolete. For complete clarification of this issue provide a minimal working example (MWE).


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi,

use fancyhdr instead of fancyheadings. If you're writing with a KOMA-class then consider to use scrpage2.

I had a similar problem that had nothing to do with the fancypants style. A formerly compilable tex file suddenly started complaining about an error, "line 4 -> text line contains an invalid character".

There is nothing wrong with line 4, just delete all the miscellaneous files <filename>.<extension> (except of course for <filename>.tex). Now it will recompile licketysplitz.
