Hi all,
I really having trouble with TM. For some reason TM does not consider the % sign within LaTeX. This means I get a lot of error messages. If I comment out some included file (e.g. %\input {history}) TM still reads the file and sends me errors like:
Latex Error: ./history.tex:6 LaTeX Error: Something's wrong-- perhaps a missing \item.
The file looks at this point as follows:
% \item parindent durch Option halfparskip entfernt
Why does that happen and so suddenly and how could I resolve it?
What a strange behaviour. I typeset the file within TeXShop and it gave me a runaway argument with the precise position in the code. I missed a curly bracket on a \url command. Thats it.
Why does TM responds with such wrong error messages and not with a precise one?
TM does not try to compile your file, it delegates that task to pdflatex. So does TeXShop. In theory they are calling the same program. So I see no reason for the discrepancy. Please provide a minimal reproducible and clear example.
