I have been able to isolate sort of where the problem is coming from. If I remove the
\begin{block} and \end{block} from my code, the errors disappear. If I remove anything inside the block, the error still remains. I have added the code of one of the blocks, plus the preamble, to see if any of you all know how to fix this. Also, there are other style files that are required to run this, but I don't know if it is useful to link those or not.Code: Select all

\begin{alertblock}{Zeckendorf's Theorem}
Every positive integer can be written uniquely as the sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers where
\[F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}\]
and $F_1 = 1$, $F_2 = 2$.
