Aloha all,
Here is an error message raised with a 27 item list in LaTeX:
ERROR: LaTeX Error: Counter too large.
--- TeX said ---
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.31 \item ?
--- HELP ---
1. Some object that is numbered with letters, probably an item in a
enumerated list, has received a number greater than 26. Either you're
making a very long list or you've been resetting counter values.
2. Footnotes are being ``numbered'' with letters or footnote symbols
and LaTeX has run out of letters or symbols. This is probably caused
by too many \thanks commands.
All the best,
Tom
