Re: beamer | Unexpected Emergency Stop

It's probably just what it sounds like: you've forgotten a } somewhere.

But without any code, or a minimal working example, to look at, it's impossible to tell.

Re: Line numbering and clicking on the text

MikTeX is not an editor. You want to post in the subforum for the editor you're using (assuming there is one).

Writing without dots with enumerate

Not sure why you're loading the enumitem package twice, but since you are loading it, you can just use the label* option for the subitems with the dot at the beginning rather than the end:

\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*]
\item This is item one
\item This is item two
\begin{enumerate}[label ...

Scope of a Command Declaration

To make a new command local, it needs to be done inside braces, and the braces that are part of the \newcommand syntax itself don't count. So to make the definition of \temp used in \firstmacro get thrown away when it's done, you'd need another set of braces:

exam | Compilation fails on Ubuntu

That option was still there when I installed TL 2011!

Code: Select all
