[Tex/LaTex] Increase LaTeX capacity

compiling

I am trying to compile a TeX file, but after a long time I got this message:

l.3593 ...temp.png}

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.


Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
 31937 strings out of 94500
 1176767 string characters out of 1176767
 272586 words of memory out of 1000000
 24170 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000
 11185 words of font info for 39 fonts, out of 500000 for 2000
 580 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
 28i,7n,36p,345b,3810s stack positions out of 1500i,500n,5000p,200000b,5000s
PDF statistics:
 33619 PDF objects out of 300000
 7356 named destinations out of 131072
 48094 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 65536
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!

Perhaps my file is huge (like 4000 pages) and this is the reason for this.

Put into your local TeX configuration file, which is for TeXLive in .../texlive/2011/texmf.cnf, for example,

pool_size = 3250000

Then run sudo fmtutil-sys --all. For MiKTeX it should be possible to change such values from within the MiKTeX configuration GUI.

If you do not find the file run

kpsewhich texmf.cnf

it shows the location.

You can modify the texmf.cnf variables error_line and max_print_line, adding to the "local" texmf.cnf file, whose location depends on the distribution you're using; for TeX Live it is

/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf.cnf

and the lines to be added are

max_print_line=1000
error_line=254
half_error_line=238

The first number is actually arbitrary, but 1000 seems to be sufficient. The error_line variable must be less than 255 and the maximum value of half_error_line is less than error_line-15

For experimenting you can also set the variables in the environment; assuming a Bash shell,

export max_print_line=1000
export error_line=254
export half_error_line=238

You can find the location of the various texmf.cnf files, in the order they're looked at, by running

kpsewhich -a texmf.cnf

from the command line. On my system I get

/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf.cnf
/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf

The “year part” in the path can and will vary according to the currently installed version of TeX Live.

[Tex/LaTex] TeX Capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000] Babel ngerman

In my opinion, using the babel package should be enough, no need for \usepackage{german,ngerman} (both packages are in the list of outdated packages https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/26200/36296). The babel package also enables hyphenation etc. For quotations marks I suggest to either enter them manually or use the csquotes package.

\documentclass[pdftex,a4paper,12pt,DIV=15,BCOR=20mm,parskip=half,numbers=noenddot]{scrbook}
%\usepackage{ngerman} %Deutsche Trennungen, Anführungsstriche und mehr
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} % dt. Sprache laden (u.a. auch Ausgabe feststehender Begriffe in deutsch wie etwa Inhaltsverzeichnis statt table of contents)

\section*{Notes for My Paper}

Don't forget to include examples of topicalization.
They look like this:

\subsection*{Mood}

Mood changes when there is a topic, as well as when
there is WH-movement.  \emph{Irrealis} is the mood when
there is a non-subject topic or WH-phrase in Comp.
\emph{Realis} is the mood when there is a subject topic
or WH-phrase.

\end{document}

(I removed some of the body content as I have no idea how \enumsentence or \shortex might be defined)
