Hi, everybody,
i'm new to the forum and i've met a lot of problem using latex. i have ubuntu 8.10 and i'm trying to write a text but there are always some problems
this is what appears on my terminal when i try to transform the file tex in pdf:

Someone can help me to find a way to resolve the problems?
Please this text is important for me

The error message alone is almost useless without the corresponding source code. I can only see that you have forgotten a closing brace for an enumerate environment.

Code: Select all

! Missing } inserted.
<inserted text>
                }
l.76 \end{enumerate}

Check the given line and correct it. If that doesn't help, reduce the code to a minimal working example (MWE) that reproduces exactly this error message (except the line number).


Best regards and welcome to the board

Additionally, the messages suggest that the Italian language package (texlive-lang-italian) is missing.

[oribuz]

the principal setting is this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{ifpdf}

\floatstyle{plain}
\newfloat{figura}{htp}{lop}
\floatname{figura}{Figura}
\newfloat{tabella}{htp}{lop}
\floatname{tabella}{Tabella}

\ifpdf
  \DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{mps}{*}{}
\fi

And the graphes and tables settings are these:

Code: Select all

Sorry, i don't know how to start, for example the text is all in english and only some footnotes are in italian, have i change language setting?
-let me know if you can tell some others advices

Thank you very much

I think you didn't read my last reply. The code you now posted is not the code that produces the error message you gave in your initial post. Please prepare the MWE as requested. Otherwise this topic will come to nothing. When posting longer pieces of code, please use the "Code" environment by clicking the according button right above the input window.

Furthermore I wonder why you declare these extra float environments figura and tabella. Are they just to have such environments in your language? LaTeX provides already the figure and table environments which should be sufficient.
