\Latex{} : undefined control sequence

Question

I use teXworks and I have a file called textwork1.ltx.

Here is the code:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amstext}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\title{My first \Latex{} Document}
\maketitle

Hello world!
\end{document}

and it gives me this error:

Errors: 1, Warnings: 0, Bad boxes: 0


textwork1.ltx
11
Undefined control sequence.
\@title ->My first \Latex 
                          {} Document
l.11 \maketitle

What can be the reason?

Answer 1

LaTeX can be really murky with its errors. The control sequence is kind of command.

Thus it says, the parser did not understand/know the \Latex command. Perhaps you meant \LaTeX. The difference is capital T and X.
