F.1. TeX messages! Missing control sequence inserted.Please dont say ‘\def cs{...}’, say ‘\def\cs{...}’. I’ve inserted an inaccessiblecontrol sequence so that your definition will be completed without mixing me up too badly.You can recover graciously from this error, if you’re careful; see exercise 27.2 in The TeXbook.! Missing delimeter(. inserted).I was expecting to see something like ‘(’ or ‘\{’ or ‘\}’ here. If you typed, e.g., ‘{’instead of ‘\{’ you should probably delete the ‘{’ by typing ‘1’ now, so that braces don’t getunbalanced. Otherwise just proceed. Acceptable delimeters are characters whose \delcodeis nonnegative, or you can use ‘\delimeter ’.! Missing number, treated as zero.A number should have been here; I inserted ‘0’. (If you can’t figure out why I needed to see anumber, look up ‘weird error’ in the index to The TeXbook.)In LaTeX this is often caused by a command expecting a number or a length argumentbut not finding it. You might have forgotten the argument or an opening squarebracket in the text might have been taken as the start of an optional argument. Forexample, the \\ (newline) command takes an optional length argument, so the followingwill produce this error:... next line\\[Horatio:] ...! Not a letter.Letters in \hyphenation words must have \lccode>0.One or more characters in the argument to the \hyphenation command should notbe there.! Number too big.I can only go up to 2147483647 = ’17777777777 = "7FFFFFFF, so I’m using that numberinstead of yours.These all represent the same value, firstly in decimal, secondly in octal, and lastly inhexadecimal notations.! Output loop–- ...consecutive dead cycles.I’ve concluded that your \output is awry; it never does a \shipout, so I’m shipping\box255 out myself. Next time increase \maxdeadcycles if you want me to be morepatient!TeX appears to be spinning its wheels, doing nothing.! Overfull \hbox (...pt too wide).This is a warning that TeX couldn’t cram some text into the alloted horizontal space.! Overfull \vbox (...pt too high).This is a warning that TeX couldn’t find a good place for a pagebreak, so it has puttoo much onto the current page.453
