I have some legacy batch file that generates a PDF with LaTeX. There is a main.tex file which "includes" multiple *.tex files as subpages.
In the main .tex file I already have declared \usepackage{float}.
When executing the batch which launches the generation of the PDF I get the error:
! LaTeX Error: Unknown float option 'H'.
Adding the \usepackage{float} before the \begin{document} in the file where the problem comes from throws the error:
! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble.
How can I fix this?
Replacing .*}[H] with .*}[h!] fixed the problem.

I am wanting to do in text citations for my dissertation. I will upload a simplified version of what i am seeing. The issue is that i keep getting "undefined citations" where i only get the citation key out in my pdf irrespective of which compiler i use.
I also keep getting an error saying that the bibliography is empty. But when my friend uses the exact code i have and copies the references and everything into his overleaf environment it works. I could not get it working with miktex and texmaker. Please help
I have checked a lot of articles of what is available and i swear im following what they are doing but i cant get any further
Initially, my idea is to pull the citations from another file because ill be using these citations in multiple documents. I have successfully setup the .bib file which will update as i add more references to Zotero (my reference manager). I tried to pull citations from the .bib file by coding in the file directory, but no luck there.
I then tried to not use the "file directory approach" and just have a references file in the same folder as the .tex file. But that didnt work either.
my code is as follows:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{refs.bib} %%updated from References.bib

Extra information:
The following screenshots are of the Project folder
First, latexsym is an old package superseded by amssymb. I looked at the file and its last update was in 1998!
As to your issues, assuming your text file is main.tex, try the following:
Clean your project folder from all auxiliary *.aux; the best way to do that is to issue latexmk -C in your project folder.
Additionally, remove main.bbl
make sure your *.bib file is in the root project folder
add backend=biber to list of options of biblatex.
Then, run:
pdflatex main.tex # or xelatex main.tex or lualatex main.tex etc.
biber main
pdflatex main.tex # see above
Without *.bbl file, the first run of pdflatex does not produce any reference list and latex may issue a warning. With an old *.bbl file, you will get wrong citations. After the whole sequence is executed, main.pdf should have the correct citation and a reference list.
Remember \bibliography is incompatible with biblatex. The correct macro to create bibliography list is \printbibliography. It will issue \section* in article or \chapter* in report/book for a title and format it according to settings in a document class.
Here, I created References.bib with a dummy article:
#ARTICLE{schmidtPreprocessingMethodologyEnhance2019,
author = {Other, Anthony Norman},
title = {Some things I did},
year = {2014},
journal = {J.~Irrep. Res.},
volume = {1},
number = {1},
pages = {1-10}
}
and run the code as suggested, and frankly I get expected results without any errors!
The full code:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{amssymb} %superseds latexsym
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=ieee]{biblatex}

The answer as suggested by #samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz
is that I was not using biber.
To do this on textmaker proceed to Options/Configure Textmaker. A configuration window will appear. Under the Commands Window locate "Bib(la)tex" and set the designation to "biber %". This will solve the issue.
Setting Update
A similar procedure can be followed on texstudios
See the below link on how to make sure textmaker uses this setting for reference.

thank you for everyones efforts in solving this problem.
I am having trouble knitting a pdf document with RMarkdown when embedding images. When using the markdown syntax below:
I get the error:
Package pdftex.def Error: File `~/folder/folder/filename.png' not found: using draft setting.
I have also tried:
``` {r results = 'asis'}
knitr::include_graphics(path = "~/folder/folder/filename.png")
```
And, I get the error:
Unescaped left brace in regex is passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m//\nobreakspace { <-- HERE }/folder/folder/filename/ at C:\Users\NAME~1\AppData\Roaming\TinyTeX\texmf-dist\scripts\texlive\tlmgr.pl line 1847.

I have tinytex installed, but maybe I am missing another LaTeX package? Any guidance would be appreciated.
First, as #samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz recommended above, the tilde character cannot be interpreted from Markdown to LaTeX.
Additionally, I had my markdown file in one subfolder and my images in another subfolder. When I was knitting the markdown file, the working directory changes to the subfolder that the markdown file is in causing the file path provided for the images to no longer be understood when using the path folder/folder/filename.png. You can either move the markdown file to the main directory or set the entire file path.
If you move the markdown file to the main directory the file path can look like:
or keep in the subfolder and use:
The same goes for using knitr's include_graphics function.
i´m working on rmardown, i´m trying to compile in pdf, but the console show me an error.
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character ^^S (U+0013)

Try other LaTeX engines instead (e.g., xelatex) if you are using pdflatex. See https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/latex-unicode.html
Error: LaTeX failed to compile Modelos-de-volatilidad.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See Modelos-de-volatilidad.log for more info.

i have install MIKTEX.
Check for the error in the line where it is happening. There's surely one character that LaTeX is not processing. Comment or cut the line and run again. I have had a similar issue when copy pasting from a pdf into LaTeX.
This is my first time with overleaf. I have a latex template, and when I try to compile it shows the following error:
Emergency stop.

I am not sure what to do.
Can someone please suggest how I can solve this problem?
In case you need some more information, then please let me know. I will add here.
Edit: header file that is throwing error: http://www.itextpad.com/pH0GJ5Bfmg
The document you have provided is simply a preamble file. It does not contain the document body \begin{document} ... \end{document} hence the Emergency stop fatal error.
What you should do is save this file under some name, say mypreamble.tex. Create a new .tex file and have both files under the same file directory. Finally, in the new file
\include{mypreamble.tex}
\begin{document}
\thesistitle
\section{Section 1}
/*
* Write stuff and commands here
*/
\end{document}
The file you have provided does not seem to be a classic template which you copy-paste, change some fields and have your product. It seems to look more like a file containing some functions and predefinitions which helps you structure your file in a certain way. I would suggest looking for another template that includes a document main body, which you would be able to implement and use immediately.
I'm running the following Pandoc 2.0.3 command on the Mac Terminal command line:
pandoc one.md "metadata.yaml" -o two.pdf
This should take the markdown file one.md and output two.pdf using the yaml file metadata.yaml, a minimal version of which is:
---
header-includes:
- \usepackage{fancyhdr}
...
This Pandoc run produces a PDF as expected for the following version of one.md:
# Report
However, it fails to produce a PDF for the following version of one.md, which contains body text:
# Report
Lorem.
The resulting error message is:
Error producing PDF.
! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.65 header-includes: - \usepackage
I don't understand why including that one word creates a failure.
Your one.md likely doesn't end with a newline. Pandoc concatenates all input files, adding a single newline between files. So the resulting input will be:
# Report
Lorem.
---
header-includes:
- \usepackage{fancyhdr}
...
As a result, the opening dashes of the YAML block are interpreted as underlines for Lorem., which is then read as a second-level header. This doesn't happen if the line above the --- dashes is an ATX-style header.
Just add a newline to the end of one.md and everything should work the way you expected.
