14! Argument of 
15 has an extra }
55I've deleted a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
57For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce this
57error. If your `}' was spurious, just proceed. Otherwise,
57type `I\par}' (including the `}') and I'll tell you about
57a runaway argument that might be the root of the problem.
25! Paragraph ended before 
13 was complete
58I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
54control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
59My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.
09! Use of 
29 doesn't match its definition
54If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
52put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
52made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
51followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

52A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.
55You might want to delete and/or insert some corrections
48so that I will find a matching right brace soon.

16! You can't use

20! Bad character code
59The numeric code for a character must be between 0 and 127.
27I changed this one to zero.
19! Bad register code
59Boxes, counts, dimens, and skips must be between 0 and 255.
12! Bad number
51Since I expected to read a number between 0 and 15,
16! Bad \char code
59The numeric code following \char must be between 0 and 255.
20! Bad \mathchar code
53A numeric \mathchar code must be between 0 and 32767.
20! Bad delimiter code
56A numeric delimiter code must be between 0 and 2↑{27}-1.
30! Improper alphabetic constant
56A one-character control sequence belongs after a ` mark.
37So I'm essentially inserting \0 here.
16! Number too big
54I can only go up to 2147483647='17777777777="7FFFFFFF,
42so I'm using that number instead of yours.

57I've concluded that your \output is awry; it never does a
55\shipout, so I'm shipping \box255 out myself. Next time
58increase \maxdeadcycles if you want me to be more patient.
43! \output routine didn't use all of \box255
43Your \output commands should empty \box255,
34e.g., by saying `\shipout\box255'.
43Proceed; I'll discard its present contents.

48You have to use `\:' to define the current font,

50here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is
52simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace
52up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,
52you're probably due for more error messages, and you
57might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable.

52! Math mode disallowed: Insufficient extension fonts
59Sorry, but I can't go into math mode unless \textfont 3 and
58\scriptfont 3 and \scriptscriptfont 3 have all the texinfo
56needed in math extension fonts. You'd better start over.
04eqno
05leqno
42! \limitswitch must follow a math operator
41I'm ignoring this misplaced \limitswitch.
37! Improper delimiter, changed to null
52I was expecting to see something like `(' or `\{' or
55`\}' here. If you typed, e.g., `{' instead of `\{', you
57should probably delete the `{' by typing `1' now, so that
52braces don't get unbalanced. Otherwise just proceed.
54Acceptable delimiters are characters whose \delcode is
58nonnegative, or you can use `\delimiter <delimiter code>'.
37! \nonscript must be followed by glue
56Next time say, e.g., `\nonscript\mskip\the\thinmskip' or
58`\nonscript\kern3pt'. I'm ignoring the present \nonscript.
20! Double superscript
43I treat `x↑1↑2' essentially like `x↑1{}↑2'.
18! Double subscript
43I treat `x↓1↓2' essentially like `x↓1{}↓2'.
05above
04over
04atop
06xoverx
06xatopx
37! Ambiguous; you need another { and }
55I'm ignoring this fraction specification, since I don't
52know whether a construction like `x \over y \over z'
53means `{x \over y} \over z' or `x \over {y \over z}'.
14! Extra \right
49I'm ignoring a \right that had no matching \left.
33! Display math should end with $$
59The `$' that I just saw supposedly matches a previous `$$'.
51So I shall assuming that you typed `$$' both times.
07display
21! Missing $$ inserted

08ifabsent
03ifx
25! Missing = inserted for 
48I was expecting to see `<', `=', or `>'. Didn't.
16! Incomplete \if
51I need to see two characters immediately after \if.
53Something's wrong here, so I won't make any \if test.
17! Incomplete \ifx
59I need to see two control sequences immediately after \ifx.
26! Missing \else{} inserted
39An \if test turned out to be false; but
35no \else followed the first clause.
41So I'm going on as if you said `\else{}'.
38An \if test turned out to be true; but
13! Extra \else
47If there was an \if or \case before this \else,
50I've lost track of it, so something else is wrong.
36! Missing \else{} inserted for \case
53The \case construction should have had an \else here,
55or a new group beginning with `{', but I found neither.
04long
05outer
06global
03def
04gdef
04edef
04xdef
06prefix
31! You can't use a prefix with `
55I'll pretend you didn't say \long or \outer or \global.
38! You can't use \long or \outer with `
49I'll pretend you didn't say \long or \outer here.
40! You can only define a control sequence
52Please don't say `\def cs{...}', say `\def\cs{...}'.
43I'm ignoring the \def command here. You can
53recover graciously from this error if you're careful;
33see exercise 27.xx in the manual.
46! You can use \let only with control sequences
39I'm not \let-ting anything change here,
44since I can only do things like `\let\a=\b'.

54I'm going to use 0 instead of that illegal code value.

55Proceed; I'm going to ignore this math font definition.

21! Arithmetic overflow
50I can't carry out that multiplication or division,
33since the result is out of range.
02by
14! Missing `by'
51I didn't do the arithmetic because you have to tell
37me by what; e.g., `\advcount 0 by 1'.
11hyphenation
08patterns
40! \patterns can be loaded only by INITEX
02at
22! Improper `at' size (
21pt), replaced by 10pt
50I can only handle fonts at positive sizes that are
56less than 2048pt, so I've changed what you said to 10pt.
26 is already defined to be 
54I can't change a font code that has already been used,
46so I'll stick with the previous specification.

50This error message was generated by an \errmessage

43\showthe\count10, \showbox255, \showlists).
54And type `I\tracingonline=1\show...' to show boxes and
51lists on your terminal as well as on your log file.
24! Not a control sequence
32Next time say, e.g., `\show\cs'.
