tipa package error: Missing \begin{document}

Post by radsim »

Hi,

the following minimal document

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tipa}

\begin{document}

whatever

\end{document}
won't compile under a freshly installed MikTex 2.9 distribution plus a freshly installed "tipa" package on a Windows 7 machine. It always gives the following error:

LaTeX error: Missing \begin{document}

The problem is caused by the "tipa" package, as once it's removed, the compilation works. I've been trying to google about this but haven't found any solution. I'll be very grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks, Radek

Hi Radek,

this document works for me. Could you please add the command \listfiles to the preamble, compile again and post the log file here as attachment?

Hi Radek,

check this file:

C:\Users\B\Documents\LaTeX\t3enc.def

It seems you have saved it as HTML page, not as a text file.
