Hello, I try to print a periodic table in MP+TeX, but I get the following error if I uncomment the "%" lines; I fail to see my error. Is there any trick to debug this? The error is: ! mpx file ended unexpectedly. l.3186 <- line number depends on which line is outcommented Thanks, Tobias % Run as: TEX='texmfstart texexec --dvi --batch --once' mpost input mp-tool ; % some initializations and auxiliary macros input mp-spec ;

Hello,
I try to print a periodic table in MP+TeX, but I get the following error if I uncomment the "%" lines; I fail to see my error. Is there any trick to debug this?
It is not easy do debug that (in general), but it normally helps to run a standalone label in TeX if you have mtx trouble. In this case, they are all the same typo:
%element(5*dy, 1*dx, (btex \pSym{Rb} etex), (btex \pZ{37} etex), % (btex \pM{} etex), (btex \pName{Rubidium} etex), % (btex \pAltName{Rubidium} etex), (btex \pConf{[Kr}$5s$} etex));
That last label should probably be \pConf{[Kr]$5s$} not \pConf{[Kr}$5s$} Best, Taco
