unable to resolve link: nil?

unable to resolve link: nil?

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello,

I have the error message:

: user-error: unable to resolve link: nil

on export to LaTeX.

This is driving me crazy.  I'm sure it's my fault but is there any way
to get some useful hint as to where I may be going wrong without having
to bisect my rather large document?

Thanks,
eric

Arggh, sorry for the noise.  I found the offeding line.

In hindsight, the error makes sense: the problem was a missing colon (:)
in one of the links (lots of C-c C-x C-n to find it).  Maybe it would
help to say a bit more, such as "no link type found" and maybe show the
rest of the contents of the link?  Or even a line number?
Something...  anything!  ;-)

thanks,
eric

You could also try using `org-lint' or setting #+OPTIONS:
broken-links:mark somewhere in your document.

Thanks.  I'll try to remember this for next time!
