I can't see which of your threads you're talking about. Can you please report the post, so we can see which one you mean?

Like for example the thread "using ampere's law with current density"...everytime I posted it...it gave an error because of this latex error...so it ended up being posted three times

You don't seem to have used any latex in that thread, but it sounds like a misuse of tags perhaps and that's why some work but others do not then when you delete some the others stop working. If you post what you're trying to do perhaps someone could spot the problem.

If you post in this thread what you were trying to do in the other thread perhaps people can see where you're going wrong. You can use Code tags to show the latex code you're using. Its hard to tell what's going on otherwise.
 

Related to Troubleshooting Latex Errors: Why Do Certain Latex Commands Always Have Errors?

1. What are some common Latex errors and how can I fix them?

Some common Latex errors include missing packages, syntax errors, and undefined references. To fix these errors, make sure all necessary packages are included, check for typos in your code, and ensure all references are properly defined.

2. Why does my Latex document produce a blank page?

This may be due to a missing \begin{document} or \end{document} tag, or an error in your code that prevents the document from compiling. Check your code for any missing tags or syntax errors.

3. How can I troubleshoot an error that is not clearly indicated by Latex?

If there is no specific error message, try commenting out sections of your code to identify where the error may be occurring. Also, double check for any missing packages or incorrect syntax.

4. I am receiving an error related to my bibliography. What could be causing this?

This could be due to an incorrectly formatted bibliography entry or a missing \bibliography tag. Make sure all entries are in the correct format and the tag is included in your code.

5. How can I prevent Latex errors in the future?

To avoid Latex errors, it is important to carefully check your code for any typos or missing tags before compiling. Also, keep track of any packages you use and make sure they are all included in your document. Additionally, referencing all sources and double checking for proper syntax can help prevent errors.
