Hi all,
I've run across a strange issue (bug?) using apa.cls with the latest
TeX Live distribution (2007).
I'm using TeXshop v2.14 and apa.cls v. 1.3.2
The easiest way to generate the problem is to take Athanassios
Protopapas's "apaexample.tex" file that he includes with the aps.cls
package (from CTAN) and add a "%" (to start a comment) following the
"\end{table}" command following the only table in the short document.
Placing a comment following that command causes no problems if you
typeset the document using the [jou] (for journal) or the [doc] (for
document) switch but if you use the {man] (for manuscript) switch, the
document won't typeset and the console shows the error:
! File ended while scanning use of \next.
<inserted text>
\par
<'> apaexample.tex
Placing a comment following the "\begin{table}" command causes no such
problems, so I guess the work-around is not to place comments on
following an "\end{table}" command.
I've posted example files and outputs at:
<http://web.mac.com/scott.allen>
I've posted it here so that:
a) Anyone who runs across the error might know how to fix it.
b) Anyone who has the skills to fix the problem (way beyond my
abilities) might wish to do so.
Cheers,
Scott
