Error Handling & Debugging

LaTeX errors usually stem from syntax issues like unmatched braces, typos in command names, or missing packages. Check the error log for specific line numbers and error descriptions to identify the problem.

Any LaTeX errors will be clearly displayed in the editor, helping you save time by quickly identifying issues.

If you don’t understand an error, you can click on the "Error Assistant." It will explain the error in simple language, although it may take 2-3 seconds to generate the explanation.

First, check for basic syntax errors. Try compiling a minimal document to isolate the issue. If problems persist, use 'Ask Gemini' > 'paste the error' to get assistance from our AI-Assitant.

LaTeXWriter supports all modern packages using XeLaTeX. However, some older or deprecated packages may not work.

If you encounter such an issue, you can reach out to us. If the package exists, we will make sure to add support for it as soon as possible.

This usually means you're using a command without loading the required package. Check if you need to add \usepackage{} for the command, or verify the command spelling and syntax.
