FatalDocument Structure
Too Many Closing Braces
! Too many }'s.
What this error means
LaTeX encountered a } that has no matching {. This happens when the brace nesting is off, usually because a brace was closed twice or an extra brace was inserted.
Common causes
- A } was added accidentally at the end of a group that was already closed
- A command argument was closed and then accidentally closed again
- Copy-paste errors introducing extra closing braces
How to fix it
Carefully trace brace nesting from the start of the file. Each { must pair with exactly one }. Editors with brace highlighting (VS Code, Emacs, TeXStudio) make this much easier to spot.
