I don't have much experience with low-level LaTeX. MiKTeX (my version is basic-miktex-2.9.3972
) always installed needed packages "on-the-fly".
Trying to compile a document using 1.0.1
version of flashcards
package (available at ctan), I encountered the following error
! Undefined control sequence.
\reserved@b ...@onefilewithoptions #1[{\cardpaper
}][{}]\noexpand \@pkgexten...
That led me to inspect the flashcards.cls
file in tex/latex/Flashcards
, and notice \cardpaper
option in not defined in that document.
After that, I manually downloaded flashcards.dtx
file from ctan and compiled it twice, to produce configuration files avery5371.cfg
and avery5388.cfg
, as well as the documentation file.
When the configuration files are present with my source file, the document compiles without problems
My question: Is this "normal" behaviour (expecting that I should compile required parts of the package manually)?
.cls
) is installed, otherwise you would get a different error. Also please do net refer to.cls
or.sty
files as documents, because that's confusing. – Martin Scharrer♦ Feb 18 '11 at 13:37flashcards
package version is 1.0.1. – ipavlic Feb 18 '11 at 13:43
