Problem :
When I compile a LaTeX document in the terminal like so:
latex document.tex
How do I then abort the process? Ctrl–C doesn’t work.
Solution :
Ctrl–D will do the trick.
However, use -file-line-error -halt-on-error on the command line. Or learn how to edit LaTeX from the compiler if you wanted to be hard core.
Ctrl–C should work while latex is “running”.
If an error occurs, and latex presents you its prompt, Ctrl–D, which signifies “end-of-input” can be used to get on.
