I am trying to learn LaTex type setting language, but have hit a problem the software is installed fine, and works, however I am getting the following error message ) loading : Context Support Macros / PDF (2004.03.26) ) [1{/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] <myimage.png, id=7, 80.3pt x 80.3pt> <use myimage.png> Overfull \hbox (0.2715pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 21--32 [] [] ! Missing $ inserted. <inserted text> $ l.42 {16 \div 18 \times 100 = 88.2 percent} lines 22 - 32 of my code are \begin{tabular}{|c|ccc|r|} \hline $N$ & Chemical & Formula & Mass & remarks \\ \hline 1 & Sulphuric Acid & {H$_2$SO$_4$} & 98.0791 . & g/mol \\ 2 & Copper Sulphate & {CuSO$_4$} & 159.6095 & g/mol \\ \hline \end{tabular} \\ \small Table shows Chemical formula, molar mass of common Chemicals. the line referred to in the <insterted text> part is {16 \div 18 \times 100 = 88.2 percent} if I press q, the document compiles fine, suggesting its not a serious error, however should there be a $ in the above line somewhere, if I insert this manually it should fix it, but where do I put it, its a good language, I can write chemical formulas or simple ones easily, which is a good thing. thanks for any help Paul -- Support open file formats use ISO 26300 Open Document format as used by openoffice.org, http:///www.openoffice.org Events Lug Bar B Que Sunday 19th August 2007 Cornwall, details on lug site, www.dcglug.org.uk under meetings. http://www.dcglug.org.uk/wiki/?id=Meetings_20070819 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GIT d S: a C+++ UL++++ P+ L++ W++ N+ W--- O!
