LaTeX Error Reports January 2017 ERROR REPORTS Before you report an error, please check that: * Your LaTeX system is not too old, i.e., your version is the current or the previous release. Information about the latest release can be found at https://www.latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ * The error is not already mentioned in the documentation of the distribution, e.g. in a .dtx file (in this case it is a feature :-). * The error has not already been reported. If you have WWW access, you can search the LaTeX bugs database using this URL: https://www.latex-project.org/bugs.html * The error is not caused by software other than the core LaTeX software that is produced and maintained by the LaTeX3 project team. Please report problems with other software to the authors or suppliers of that software, and not to us! Thus you should check that the problem is not caused by, for example, the viewer or printing software you use. Also, the test file demonstrating the error should not use any classes or packages other than those authored and supported by the LaTeX3 team. The files for the package or class will tell you how it is supported. The test file should use the package latexbug to check that all packages in the file are supported by the LaTeX3 Project (see the discussion on the website why this is important). * The error is not caused by using an obsolete version of any file or of other software. * You are using the original version of all files, not one that has been modified elsewhere. If you think you have found a genuine bug in a recent version of the core LaTeX software, please report it in the following way: * Prepare a *short* test file, as described above, that clearly demonstrates your problem; see below for a discussion of `short'. * Run this file through latex to obtain the transcript file (often .log) since you will need to submit this file also. Submit the test and transcript files through the Web interface at: https://www.latex-project.org/bugs/bugs-upload.html Please fill in all required fields; in particular, make sure that your name, email address, and the summary description are correct (the email address will not be shared or made public).

If this is not the case then please report the error to the address given in that corresponding errata file. Please *do not* send such reports to the latex-bugs address. --- Copyright 1997,1998,2006,2008,2017 the LaTeX3 project. All rights reserved ---
