False lacheck Unmatched “{” Error












0















In the simple LaTeX file:



documentclass{report}



newcommand{defaultleftmargin}{0.25in}



begin{document}

end{document}


I get the following errors with lacheck:



"hw01.tex", line 5: <- unmatched "end of file hw01.tex"

"hw01.tex", line 2: -> unmatched "{"


This is reported by Vim's syntastic running lacheck ver. $Id: lacheck.lex,v 1.26 1998/03/07 07:46:45 abraham Exp $ on MacOS High Seirra. The issue only seems to arise when newcommand is followed by {def*} (where * is zero or more other characters). Removal of the curly brackets around def* or any term other than def causes the issue to go away.



I found an old bug report regarding a similar issue. I did not see any talk of a fix. Is this a bug or is there something I am missing?

          Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

          Image
          4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell". I can't seem to get su access, even after logging in as root (challenge password prompt, and then nothing happens), but shell gives me a proper linux shell.
