I have a problem with compiling a document in ShareLaTeX. I want to compile a tex-data, that is including an input document (name: config.tex) that seems to cause the problem. The data that has to be compiled looks basically like this: 

\input{config.tex}  
\begin{document}

\begin{center}

.......

\end{document}

ShareLaTeX gives me this error : 

Emergency stop.
<*> config.tex

*** (job aborted, no legal \end found)

config.tex looks like this: 

\documentclass[%

%.......


\newcommand{\stack}[2]{\makebox[1cm][c]{$\stackrel{#1}{#2}$}}

What to change in the config.tex or is the problem a different one?

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.

  • oh your log shows that config.tex is the file that you are processing but that is wrong you should be processing teh file that you did not name that starts with \input{config]

You have two files, zzzz.tex that looks like

\input{config.tex}  
\begin{document}

\begin{center}
.......
\end{center}

\end{document}

and config.tex that looks like

\documentclass[]{scrartcl}%

%.......


\newcommand{\stack}[2]{\makebox[1cm][c]{$\stackrel{#1}{#2}$}}

If you process zzzz.tex with latex you get:

 pdflatex --interaction=nonstopmode zzzz

But if you process config.tex you get

! Emergency stop.
<*> config

which is the error you show. You need to process your document, not the configuration setup file.
