TEX capacity exceeded
Such an error message will be accompanied by additional text
describing which parameter has been exceeded.
Before doing anything else, first check for some common errors.
If the exceeded parameter is stack_size
then make sure
you haven't defined an infinitely recursive macro.
If the exceeded parameter is buffer_size
then it is quite likely
that the lines in your input file are too long; possible causes include
using an editor that automatically wraps lines without inserting end-of-line
characters, or incorrectly transferring a text file from another computer
(like a PC) that uses a different end-of-line character.
Look at the list of TEX parameters in your configuration file and check
if the exceeded parameter appears there; if it is listed then you might be
able to solve the problem by simply increasing the parameter's value and
reloading the configuration file.
Note that if you change the value of mem_top
, hash_size
,
hash_prime
or hyf_size
then you will also need to rebuild all
format files (see page
).
