I am new to Document and have a large 250+ page guide which I have
been trying to Document. The error message below occurred after
I added some <head1> tags and so I have been trying to cut the length
of these arguments down, but it still does not work.
Am I looking in the right area ? and if so what is the limit for
a <head> tag length ?
I will be leaving DEC tomorrow, Friday,and so would appreciate a
quick reply,
Thanks,
Julie

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

| 731.1 | Likely a missing "}" or Tag Translator error? | IJSAPL::KLERK | Theo de Klerk | Fri Jul 31 1987 08:15 | 12 |
That is the sort of message TeX normally generates if a lot of commands are nested and TeX is running out of allocated memory for this purpose. More often it occurs because some argument is not closed properly, and hence TeX keeps looking for the closing } , thereby exhausting its memory. If you haven't made an error in matching < > and ( ) in the SDML file (which ought to have been reported by the Tag Translator), then the error is probably caused by an error in the Tag Translator itself. Which means that the Translator must be corrected... Theo | |||||
| 731.2 | premature diagnosis? | VAXUUM::KOHLBRENNER | Fri Jul 31 1987 09:53 | 4 | |
If the tag translator is broken, I'll be the first to admit it
and the first to fix it, but so far there isn't any evidence
to that effect. :-) bill

| 731.3 | BL7's the problem, methinks... | WRONGO::PARMENTER | Venusian or Venerean? | Fri Jul 31 1987 11:39 | 31 |
As Theo rightly points out, there *may* be some sort of missing delimiter
in the TeX file which is causing the problem. However, I doubt
that this is the case. .0 did not state this, but this book was
processed on BL7 which had significantly less memory than does V10,
or BL8 for that matter. If possible, the book should be processed
for BL8 or V10, where I believe it would go straight through.
If for some reason this is not a possiblity, then perhaps the book
could be split into two parts. It is unfortunate that the memory
sizes for BL7 were not adequate, but we fixed this the only way
possible: on the next baselevel.
The idea that there might be a missing delimiter which the
and the tag-translator and then the TeX macros failed to catch is
fairly far-fetched, because usually when this sort of thing happens,
all sorts of terrible things occur at every point. In this case
the user quietly ran out of string room and nothing else happened.

P.S. BL8 and V10 are so vastly superior to BL7, that I strongly
urge everyone to convert as soon as possible.
