- Instead of "nothing" better use lacheck program from iesd.auc.dk which
- will tell you pretty fast what is wrong. (It was also distributed with
- the latest version of auc-tex). Actually lacheck works not only on
- LaTeX code, although in case of other macro packages its advices can be
- slightly confusing for beginners. It was written for Un*x but if you
- have at least an output from flex then it can be easily ported ot other
- platforms as well.
