If you wanted to achieve^^J% + a vertical spacing effect, better use \protect\bigskip,^^J% + \protect\vspace, and the related commands}% +% +\morehelp@try{This may be a LaTeX bug}{% + Probably this isn't a LaTeX bug.

Maybe you forgot a line break?^^J% + If you need more than three columns, try the array^^J% + environment}% +% +\morehelp@try{Too many unprocessed floats}{% + LaTeX has accumulated a lot of floating items and can only^^J% + proceed by forgetting some of them. Floating items might be^^J% + \protect\marginpars, figures, or tables. ^^J% + ^^J% + If you do not use \protect\marginpars, see if you issue many figure ^^J% + environments in quick succession, possibly without any interleaving^^J% + text. In that case, you might first try to add a \protect\clearpage^^J% + now and then.^^J% + ^^J% + On the other hand, you might have enough ordinary text, but some of^^J% + your figures cannot be placed appropriately, such figures will be ^^J% + delayed by LaTeX until the very end of a chapter. Overly restrictive^^J% + placement arguments, e.g. [h], might also cause this problem}% +% +\morehelp@try{Undefined tab position}{% + You were using a tabbing environment and tried to access a tab mark^^J% + that was not specified.
