+ 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).
+
+
+
+
+
+DOCUMENTATION ERRORS
+
+If you find an error in one of the following books:
+
+ TITLE Author Errata File
+
+ The LaTeX Manual, 2ed Lamport manual.err
+ The LaTeX Companion, 2ed Mittelbach, Goossens, et al tlc2.err
+ The LaTeX Graphics
+ Companion Goossens, Mittelbach, Rahtz grphcomp.err
+ Der LaTeX Begleiter, 2ed Mittelbach, Goossens, et al lb2.err
+ The LaTeX Web Companion Goossens, Rahtz webcomp.err
+
+
+then please check first whether it is already mentioned in the errata
+file for that book (these files are part of the LaTeX distribution).
+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.
