Re: any solution to the problem?

Hi,

the solution is to use \hhline {hhline package}.  Below is your table 
with some fixes - you may need to add some fixes (e.g. width of lines) 
but this should give you the general idea.  You can find some examples 
here: http://www.tug.org.in/tutorial/chap08-scr.pdf

\begin{table} [h!]
\begin{tabular}{cccc}
   \cline{3-4}

%  \hline
%   \cline{3-4}

\multicolumn{1}{|>{\columncolor[gray]{0.8}}c|}{\textbf{Yes}} &
\multicolumn{1}{|>{\columncolor[gray]{0.8}}c|}{\textbf{No}}
\\\hhline{----}

Problems with pdflatex :: I can't find the default format file!

Hello,

Recently I installed MiKTeX 2.4 (version 2.4.2021) on my computer.

In order to confirm it was properly installed I executed the command "latex sample2e" and "yap sample2e"
without any problems.

As I am interested in using pdflatex, I tested it with the same command "pdflatex sample2e" and I receive a
series of error message. I include a summary of the lof file:

           This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4)

miktex.ini configuration problem - hiding plain tex input files

Hello

I have a miktex.ini configuration problem.

I want a format - call it wibble - to pick up only its own files.

This is easy (it seems).
[wibble]
Input Dirs=c:/wibble/mydir;c:/wibble/other;

But this will also pick up some plain tex files.
===
C:\> findtexmf -alias=wibble plain.tex
C:\texmf\tex\plain\base\plain.tex
===

So I clobber [TeX] like so
===
[TeX]
Input Dirs=
===

But now plain tex does not find story.tex
===
C:\> tex story
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (MiKTeX 2.4)
! I can't find file `story.tex'.
<*> story

Please type another input file name:
===

So I add
===
[plain]
Input Dirs=.;%R\tex\plain//;%R\tex\generic//;%R\tex//
===
and now 'tex story' works.

But we're not done yet.  I can't make the plain format.
===
C:\> initex plain
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (MiKTeX 2.4) (INITEX)
! I can't find file `plain.tex'.
<*> plain

Please type another input file name:
===

And if plain.fmt does not already exist then tex fails!
===
C:\> tex
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (MiKTeX 2.4)
**\relax
initexmf: plain.tex: source file does not exist
cannot make plain.fmt
I can't find the default format file!
===

It seems to me that what I want to do can't be done.
And this is because of how configuration is done.

It seems to me that [plain] Input Dirs does not control
how initex plain finds its files.

I don't know if other TeX distributions have this problem.

What do other people think?

Yes, too remove the extra }. Yes, it might not be easy to find, but it
is there...

I'm not sure if you can test it like that with "findtexmf" - I think
it doesn't behave as expected from time to time. You need to test with
tex/etex/pdftex/pdfetex.

Anyway, your setup should work. To verify that only the given path 
is searched test
findtexmf -alias=context pdfcolor.tex
versus
findtexmf -alias=latex pdfcolor.tex

Shouldn't you give an alias option to initex? The output from
"initexmf -n --dump=latex" should give you a clue.

Hans

PS! You can create new formats using MiKTeX Options.

The standard - put in statements to isolate the problem and stare at the 
code until your eyes hurt - no magic bullets here.

I put in \typeout{Location 1} statements.

Unsubscribing ...

RE: Too many }'s

In general you get the line where the excessive brace is and you should also
get an echo of the line and a line number, like for example

(C:\usr\localtexmf\tex\latex\pxfonts\t1pxr.fd)
(C:\usr\localtexmf\tex\latex\pxfonts\t1pxtt.fd)
! Too many }'s.
l.98 at this point I have one }
                                too much
?

At that point the right brace has no corresponding left brace.
In my case removing or replacing the right brace solves the problem.

In other case possibly a left brace is misspelled, or there is an "illegal"
right brace before. 

Putting an open brace just after \begin{document} would eliminate the error
message, but possibly it is not the right way to solve the problem.

For some reason, I don't know which, MiKTeX complains that my document has
too many }'s but generates the document with no problems.  Is there any way
to solve it please?
