Missing the second '}'

Missing the second '}'

Hash: SHA512

Hi folks.

In a document that I'm compiling I seem to have failed to close the '{'
and '}', and the second one isn't in the document. If I write '\label{}'
then it succeeds, but at a couple of places in the document this show
'\label{'.

How can I find where I've failed to close the brackets please, so that I
can then achieve normality please?

Thanks
    Sharon.

Is this an Org document that you are exporting to LaTeX? If there is a
compile error, you can usually see it at the end of the *Org PDF LaTeX
Output* buffer. If it is a badly closed command, it is usually a
"Runaway argument?" warning, and the compiler indicates the problematic
line, which you should look for in the *.tex document. Sometimes it's
not easy to find the problem. The fastest way is to compile the *.tex
document directly with LaTeX and review the log file. It also usually
works to raise the position of \end{document} in the document. There
will come a point where it stops giving errors, and then the problem
will be easily located in the paragraph after \end{document}.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

depending on the file, you may be able to use M-x check-parens. I say
depending on the file because it matters how the open/close marker syntax
is defined in the file.

Or go to the beginning, and run M-x forward-sexp repeatedly until you get
an error?

I was able to use M-x check-parens on 3 passes to finally get the
document working properly again. Thanks very much for it.

Thanks
