LaTeX <em>needs</em> +<code>\</code><code>begin{document}</code> so as to know when to execute the commands +that finish off the document preamble. +<p/>Other than that, the error can occur as a result of an error of yours, +of a corrupt <code>.aux</code> file, or of a buggy class or package. +<p/>The errors you might commit are absent-mindedly typing a document +command (such as <code>\</code><code>section</code>) in the preamble of your document, +missing the comment marker from the beginning of a line, or giving too +many arguments to one of the setup commands related to the class or a +package that you have loaded. +<p/>A corrupt <code>.aux</code> file might be due to any number of things; +delete the file and to run LaTeX again, twice. If the error +recurs, it’s probably due to a buggy class or package. +<p/>If the error occurs while LaTeX is reading a class or package, then +there’s probably a bug in the file. The author of the class or +package stands the best chance of finding the bug, but with luck you +(or someone you ask on a mailing list or on <i>comp.text.tex</i>) +will be able to spot the problem and provide a work-around. Always +report such bugs, even if you have found a work-around. +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=missbegdoc">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=missbegdoc</a> +</body> |
