[MiKTeX] Question on Chapters

Hi!

Normally when it comes to create chapters for some LaTeX-document, 
regardless of usage, chapters do start with number 1 (or if no chapters 
were creates, section start with 0.1). Is it possible to force chapters 
to start with numbers different from 1 (let's say first chapter shall 
have number 2)?

\setcounter{chapter}{1} 

before you start the chapter that should have number 2. 

This is a general LaTeX question much better asked at comp.text.tex:

Sorry Hans, I didn't knew that this list is home to "specified" questions. I will remeber you when I got
another "general" question.
Thank you for your answer, I will test it and hopefully it will lead to success

[MiKTeX] syntax package

Hello all,

I've been trying to use the 'syntax' package for typesetting BNF grammar.
With that simple example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{syntax}
\begin{document}
\begin{grammar}
  <S> ::= `.'
\end{grammar}
\end{document}

I'm getting the following error during compilation:

...
! Use of \gr <at> implitem doesn't match its definition.
<inserted text> \special 
                         {src:5x.tex}
l.5   <
       S> ::= `.'
[1] (./x.aux) )
(see the transcript file for additional information)
Output written on x.dvi (1 page, 284 bytes).
Transcript written on x.log.

I'm kinda new to LaTeX, looking at syntax.sty puts my brain in jeopardy :-/
Is there someone here who could be of any help?

Many thanks,
(Continue reading)

I just tried your example and it worked like a charm. Have you installed
syntax.sty manually? If so, uninstall it and let MiKTeX install it
automatically.

No, in this case the error happens because of source specials being  
enabled. I'll take a closer look at what can be done.

RE: [MiKTeX] syntax package

That's weird, I reinstalled it and it didn't work either... all my packages
are up to date!

Thanks a lot for your help, I'll look on my own for what are "source
specials" and if I really need that feature :-?

RE: [MiKTeX] syntax package

Mr Høgholm,

Now I see what source specials are, but I can't tell which package makes use
of them... I tried disabling the --src compilation option in WinEdt and it
worked "like a charm" :-)

I don't think they are really necessary for me at the moment, so it doesn't
matter if I leave that option disabled (I'm afraid it won't be the case
anymore when I'll use something like the fancyhdr package, that handles page
headers and footers). However, I'll be vigilent and keep on looking for a
possible solution, and if you are interested too, I'll be glad to hear your
comments!

Best regards,
Régis

RE: [MiKTeX] syntax package

I have the same error on Latex but no error with pdflatex. The pdf is
generated and contain   <S> ::= `.'

My problem is that I don't know what is expected.

Bests regard
