This file list most of all errors produced by Tralics.
The command \a allows you to put an accent on a character. In fact \a'e is the same as \'e. The first line produces three errors, the last line five é.
11 \a{\bb} \a{12} \a{W}x
12 \a'e \a'{e} \a{'}e \a{'}{e} \a {'} {e}
Error signaled at line 11 of file tty: Bad syntax of \a, argument not a character \bb. Error signaled at line 11 of file tty: wanted a single token as argument to \a. Error signaled at line 11 of file tty: Bad syntax of \a, argument is W.
After the accent command, for instance \^, there should come a single letter, with or without braces. The first line produces six errors, the second is equivalent to añêañê

In some cases you can put a double accent on a letter. The first line produces four errors signaled by \a, the second line shows correct syntax.
1 \^{\a\foo} \^{\a+e} \^{\a{}e} \^{\a'{ee}}
2 \^{\'e} \a^{\a'e}\a^{\a'{e}}

Error in accent, command = \^
Wanted a single token.
Tralics allow you to put any accent on any letter. In the code that follows, we redefine the command that creates a composite character. Thus the third line provokes two errors while in general it gives none. You cannot put an accent on a non-letter and you cannot put a double accent on a letter if the result is not a Unicode character. Line four yields four errors. The last line shows that you can put an accent on å, æ and ø (and their upper case equivalent) entered as \aa, \ae \o.

Error signaled at line 4 of file tty: Error in accent, command = \^\' Cannot put accent on letter i.
The first argument to \newcolumntype has to be a 7- bit character. The first two lines provoke some errors
1 \newcolumntype{}{xx}\newcolumntype{foo}{xx}
2 \newcolumntype{é}{xx}\newcolumntype{\foo}{xx}
3 \newcolumntype{C}{{>$}c<{$}}
4 \newcolumntype{d}[1]{>{\rightdots{#1}}r<{\endrightdots}}
Error signaled at line 1 of file tty: Empty argument to \newcolumntype. Error signaled at line 1 of file tty: More than one token in argument to \newcolumntype. Error signaled at line 2 of file tty: Argument to \newcolumntype is not a 7bit character. Error signaled at line 2 of file tty: Argument to \newcolumntype is not a 7bit character.
If you say \newcolumntype{D}{xx}, then D will be replaced by xx, and this is checked again; an error is signaled if a loop is detected. After the replacement, errors are signaled if the result is not a known character.

The last line here shows a list of all possible characters in an array preamble. Some characters take an argument (shown in braces here). This may signal an error. There are some restrictions you cannot use a less-than-sign, an at-sign or a exclamation point anywhere.

Error signaled at line 3 of file tty: unexpected less-than sign.
If the array preamble contains >{foo}or <{bar} then the token list foo is inserted before the corresponding cell, and then token list bar after the cell. These lists are called the u- and v-parts. A special marker is inserted after the v-part; it is called the endv token. In the code that follows, the command \foo reads this token. When Tralics sees \end{tabular} it finishes the current cell; however, in the second (commented out) line, the \foo command gobbles then endv token and the end of the cell is never seen; Tralics loops without end. On the third line there is a \cr; this end the current row (and thus the current cell, without inserting a v-part). On line four, we show that \cr or the endv token cannot be used outside a table.

3 \begin{tabular}{c<{tt\foo}} x& y\cr\end{tabular}

The basic commands like \advance, \multiply and \divide do not always test for overflow. (the \XX macro produces never an overflow, while the second call of \YY signals an error).

There are at most 256 possible fonts, and you might see fatal: font table overflow after too many uses of \newfont. Trying to modify a parameter of non-existing font is an error. Moreover, indices must be in the range zero to 100000. The last line here is correct.

The first argument of \setlength has to be a command name, generally a register allocated by \newlength. Since there is only a finite number of counters, you may see errors like Overflow in \newdimen; max value is 1023. The argument to \newif must start with the two letters I and F. The \read command expands its arguments when looking at a 'to' keyword, this is why we make sure \foo exists. We show some errors signaled by the calc package. Note: the last line number should be 9 and not 8. This is because of the \usepackage command in interactive mode; if you put the code in a file, everything will be OK; however, if the code follows \begin{document}, you will get another error; Bad \usepackage command. The following command is not in outer vertical mode: \usepackage. Note also that the line without a number should not be put in the file, but given as answer to \read. If nevertheless it is in the file, then line you type will executed. in particular, you get an endless loop if the answer contains \foo.

At the end of the job, Tralics reads the bibliography, in order to solve all unsolved references, and translates the corresponding. parts. The bibliography file shown here has some errors. We shall comment them one after the other.
For Inria's activity report you can see additional errors of the form entry moved from refer to year because either there is no year field, it is invalid, is the current year, or because the reference is not yet published. There are errors of the form the year field of this entry should be XXX, it is missing or YYY.

The effect of \bibitem{foo} is to mark the reference as solved; you can solve it only once. The effect of \XMLsolvecite{foo3} acts like \bibitem; it says that the current XML element solves the reference. This command may fail if the current element has already a unique id (here the current XML element is the section). The last line here is not an error: it is just an information, Tralics has seen 9 citations, and has solved one.
Error signaled at line 28 of file te.tex: Bibliography entry already defined foo2. Translating section command div0: foo. Error signaled at line 29 of file te.tex: Cannot solve (element has an Id) foo3. Bib stats: seen 9(1) entries.
There are two entries called foo1, the second one will be ignored. The first one has title=ok, and Tralics needs a value for the macro ok.

Entry foo4 has a lot of errors. We have first 1=2, this is illegal; a field cannot start with a percent sign, a 8bit-character, an open parenthesis, etc. In all these cases, the remainder of the current line will be ignored (and the parser may be in a silly state). You say foo#bar if you want to concatenate two values; on line 10 there is a dash, and Tralics complains as it expected a comma. The last error is that the entry is terminated by a parenthesis instead of a closing brace (a closing parenthesis is allowed, provided that the entry starts with a parenthesis, see entry foo5).

After finishing analysis of the data base, Tralics signals an error: reference foo3 was not found. Some additional errors are signaled. A name is formed of three parts; last name, first name, junior, separated by commas. Tralics insists that an empty slot be marked by {}. Moreover at least one of these fields has to be non-empty (if no comma is given, the only fields contains the first and the last name).

Multiple names should be separated by and, not by commas or an ampersand. A particularity of bibtex is that commands should not appear at top-level. You should for instance say Jos{\'e}. Tralics allows Jos\'e as well as José. It signals an error if you want to put an accent on a non-letter as in Gr\^\i mm. Note also that Tralics considers mm as the last in this case.

Tralics tells us that it extract seven entries from the data base (remember that one entry was already solved, and another one missing). Finally, the translation of entry foo had \cite command in it. This is illegal.
Seen 7 bibliographic entries. Error signaled at line 12: Citation after loading biblio?. There were 28 errors.
The \end{figure} commands performs some checks, that fail if \begin{figure} is redefined. You cannot put \begin{document} inside a group; you cannot use \endcsname before \csname. You cannot use hat or underscore characters outside of math mode. There are 30 commands, for instance \lastkern, that are read-only. You should use them as \the\lastkern or \skip0=\lastkern; in other cases an error is signaled; if the command takes an argument, they are not read. If you say \@onlypreamble\foo, then \foo cannot be used after \begin{document}. Assume that \begin{foo} had not been used. Then \endfoo is an error, and \endfoo is not called. But if this appears in the text then either Tralics complains that the command is undefined, or does nothing, or says that the stack does not contain some object; There are a few commands (like math environments) that say that \begin is missing.

In a number of cases, Tralics stops scanning tokens in math mode when it sees an error, because it generally minimizes the number of further errors. Here are some errors.

In a table, the command \multicolumn takes 3 arguments. In the first case shown here, there are too many tokens; this is harmless. In the second case, there are two few arguments and the ampersand is considered the last argument. In the third case, the \end token is the argument, and Tralics is in a bad state; it needs two \pars to get out of math mode. There is a problem on the next line: the array environment has an optional argument, and the closing bracket is missing; the mandatory argument is also missing. Some environments like gather enter display math mode; they are forbidden in math mode. You can use \eqno only in display math mode. Only one label is allowed in a formula. Note the error on the last line: in some case it is not possible to convert the math expression into MathML.

In some cases Tralics expects an opening brace and sees none,
or sees a closing brace. Various error messages may be issued:
A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one
in,
Extra closing brace (scanning started at line
17) for argument to \foo,
Too many closing braces
Missing { inserted before unexpected } in
argument of \foo,
Spurious close brace removed,
missing brace for token register \everyhbox,
too many closing braces in \read.
A runaway error is signaled when scanning of an argument is
interrupted by an end-of-file or sometimes \par or any
macro declared \outer.
You could see messages like
End of data reached while scanning end
of environment foo,
End of data reached while scanning a group; scanning argument
of \foo
End of data reached while scanning argument of \foo
End of data reached while scanning start of argument
Runaway argument?; Paragraph ended while scanning an argument of \foo

End of data reached while expecting \endcsname
End of data reached while scanning content of foo;
end of data instead of a number after #
Unterminated \if

unbalanced \read.
On line 3, the name of the new command is illegal and the body is missing. On line four, the open brace is missing after the (optional) arguments of \hbox. Note the that end-of-file after \iffalse confuses Tralics a bit.

On the first line the specification of the the number of arguments is wrong. On the second line there should be #1 instead of #2. On line 3, there are attempt to insert \char inside a name. On line 4, we try to globally set the counter foo; this is an error since the counter is undefined. Note the assignment is global, so that \global is useless; in this case, the prefix applies to {0} since other tokens have been discarded. Line 5 shows that the prefix is usually accepted, but other prefixes like \log or \outer apply only to \def. One line 6 we have a silly definition of \c@foo.

We show here some errors produced by the \verb command. It cannot be an argument of a command, and the argument of \verb must be on the current line. You can define a short-verb command, so that |foo| is the same as \verb+foo+. You can save verbatim text (see line 5). The verbatim text has to be on the current line. At line 8, we see that a verbatim-like environment cannot be an argument of a command.
At line 9 is an instance of a special error: in some cases, Tralics expects an internal buffer to be empty. This is normally the case if \item immediately follows the start of the environment, this is also the case when the environment is not buried in a box or a table like here. A remedy might be to insert a \par token before the \item
1 \def\foo{\verb=bar=} \foo ?
2 \verb+foo

There are some restrictions on the use of \documentclass{foo} namely that you can use it only once, only before \begin{document} and not inside a paragraph. In all these cases, the same error message is signaled Not in outer vertical mode. Tralics read the file foo.plt if it exists, but does nothing if the file does not exist. In the case of \InputClass an error is signaled.
1 \LoadClass{foo}\InputClass{foo}
2 \documentclass{foo} \usepackage{foo}
3 \documentclass{foo} \usepackage{foo}
4 text
5 \usepackage{foo}\par \usepackage{foo}
6 \begin{document} \usepackage{foo}
7 \begin{document}
Error signaled at line 1 of file tty: Cannot input foo.clt. Error signaled at line 3 of file tty: Bad \documentclass The following command is not in outer vertical mode: \documentclass. Error signaled at line 5 of file tty: Bad \usepackage command The following command is not in outer vertical mode: \usepackage. Error signaled at line 7 of file tty: Two environments named document.
The Inria activity report uses some keywords like \projet, localisation etc. They may signal an error of the form There is a problem with the command followed by It should be placed before \\begin{document} or It should be given only once. A team name has to be given in upper-case and mixed-case letters, like APICS and Apics. In case of mismatch Tralics complains with Bad Team name foo should be case equivalent to bar. The activity report is split into modules, that have a name and a title. The name of a module is the name of the file in which the content of the module will be stored. You may see Empty module name or invalid module name (\\ and $ forbidden) or. Module name `foo' already seen . Modules are grouped into sections; which are specified by an optional argument. This may provoke the following errors Invalid section name or No default section. You may also meet Environment foo is not closed , or unexpected end of file or Characters ignored before open brace or Characters ignored at end of line
The command for producing glossaries in hidden in the current version of Tralics. However, you can still use it. An error is signaled if the environment is empty.
1 \begin{@glossaire}\csname@glo\endcsname{foo}{bar}\end{@glossaire}
2 \begin{@glossaire}\end{@glossaire}
Error signaled at line 2 of file tty: empty glossaire.
Assume that your document starts with \documentclass{ra2009}. In this case Tralics enters RA mode. It may complain with Fatal error: Input file name must be team name followed by 2010 (where 2010 could be replaced by the another quantity). Let's rename the file to test2010. You will see Illegal document class ra2009 should be ra2010. The reason is a mismatch between the year in the file name and the class value. Let's rename the file to Team2010. You will see Fatal error Only lowercase letters allowed: Team. If the team name is empty, you will also see Illegal file name of the form safir/2002.tex
Translation of the Inria Activity Report requires a well-formed configuration file. You might see errors of the form The configuration file for the RA is ra2007.tcf or ra.tcf. It must define a value for the parameter theme_vals. Other parameters are ur_vals, affiliation_vals, profession_vals, section_vals. A variant of section_vals is fullsection_vals. If not at least two sections are defined by one of these lists, you will see Config file did not provide sections. These errors are fatal: no XML is produced.
The ra2010.cls class file must provide a bunch of commands, otherwise you may see errors of the form: Undefined command \rawebstartdocument. The command \projet is mandatory. It takes three argument; if the first is not equal to the file name (without the year), it might complain with Package Raweb Error: Invalid Team name exemple. The command \theme was once mandatory; it could produce error messages the form Empty or missing theme or Invalid theme; as a consequence theme_vals is no longer required. The first argument of the module environment is the section. In case of error you may see Invalid section if the argument is not in the list of sections defined by the configuration file, or Illegal access to fullsection list (this is weird) or No default section (after the first invocation, the argument becomes the default section, and there is no need to repeat it), or Only one module accepted in composition (in the current version, 'composition' is an environment, its translation should be the only module in the composition section). You may also see Bad section fondements after logiciels if modules are not in the right order. Module titles should not be empty, otherwise you will get Empty module name replaced! (this is an awful hack). The command \UR, specifies the localisation of the team; it may produce errors like Empty localisation value or Illegal localisation value. One argument to \pers is a localisation. Errors may be of the form No default Research Centre defined or Invalid Unit Centre.
If Tralics cannot find its input file, it complains with Fatal error: Cannot open input file foo.tex. If two arguments appear to Tralics to be input file names, it complains with Fatal error: Seen two source files foo.tex and bar. No file is translated in these cases.
The filecontents environment may signal unable to open file for writing. It may signal bad end of filecontents env if the \end command is not placed at the start of the line.
When Tralics sees a \par or \noindent command in horizontal mode, it expects the current element to be <p>, this may fail and an Invalid \par command may be signaled. In general a <p> element is started. This may confuse the caller. For instance \hbox{\noindent} signals Error in pop; stack holds p; trying to pop hbox. In the case of \vspace you could get Expected a p element on the stack
You may encounter errors like
Text found in a mode where no text is allowed.
Command \foo should occur in bibliographic mode only
Current command should occur in tables only
If an end of file is reached while in a special environment like verbatim or comment you will get End of data reached while scanning end of environment verbatim. In other cases no error is signaled. You may notice that there is a problem by examining the line Save stack +24 -17 printed at the end. It says that the stack is not empty.
There may be errors while parsing incorrect XML files
