[comp.text.tex] Disturbing LaTeX errors

sharp@snuffleupagus.csd.scarolina.edu (Harry Sharp) (03/28/91)

I come, as usual, bearing troubles with TeX.

I am trying to finish my thesis and LaTeX has dealt me a few annonying
errors which I cannot seem to figure out.  Hopefully someone out in
netland will see this and say, "Hey, that's easy.  It's like this..."

1. \end occurred in level 1 

What does this mean?  I have an unpaired \begin ?  Is it possible to 
track this down?  I have looked in the log but no reference is made.

2. \it in \label for figure causes errors with \protect and \csname

All I want is to italicize a word in my label and caption, and LaTeX
gives me this grief.  Should I not try this?  

3.  Anybody figured out how to gracefully break figures and tables
across pages?

Any suggestions are appreciated.
