[Tex/LaTex] “Missing $ inserted” errors generated in tabular figure

compilingerrorstables

I've compiled my LaTeX document into a PDF using the website ScribTeX, and everything seems to look fine, but I keep getting the following errors:

enter image description here

Similar errors happen every time I use a table.

The code in question is this block, which starts with line 141:

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|}

\hline
`a' \rightarrow  \tt{e}, \tt{@}, \tt{A} \\
`nice' \rightarrow   \tt{naIs}, \tt{nis} \\
`cold' \rightarrow \tt{kould} \\
`hour' \rightarrow \tt{aU\char18 r} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\captionfonts
\caption[queryDBwithOrthoWordForSampa example]{ In this and all subsequent diagrams, a `string in quotes' indicates an orthographic word or phrase, and a \texttt{monospaced string} indicates that it is a SAMPA word or phrase.  }
\label{fig:oronymGeneration:queryDBwithOrthoWordForSampa}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

As the error says, you're missing $ signs. This is because \rightarrow is a math mode command, and must be used in math mode.

You can solve the problem by using $\rightarrow$ instead.

First of all, you've added two l columns before the data columns, but as far as I can see you're using just one. Second, let siunitx do all the work in S columns, so don't add the dollar signs.

By default siunitx show the uncertainty as a number in parenthesis (see screenshot below). This can of course be changed, as you see in Svend Tveskæg's answer.

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tabularx,amsmath,boxedminipage,graphicx}
\usepackage[margin=1in,letterpaper]{geometry} % this shaves off default margins which are too big
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage[final]{hyperref} % adds hyper links inside the generated pdf file
\usepackage{booktabs} % for better looking tables
\usepackage{siunitx}  % for units of measure and data in tables
\hypersetup{
    colorlinks=true,       % false: boxed links; true: colored links
    linkcolor=blue,          % color of internal links
    citecolor=blue,        % color of links to bibliography
    filecolor=magenta,      % color of file links
    urlcolor=blue         
}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{
 l % left aligned column
 *{2}{S} % three columns with numeric data       
}
\toprule
&\textbf{Method 1} & \textbf{Method 2}\\
\midrule
Run 1 & 345 \pm 1 & 235 \pm 3\\
Run 2 & 465 \pm 2 & 342 \pm 4\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Would this be what you were after!. After some studies, errors were found

 \multicolumn{2}{c}{}  % 2 such cases: missing the last {}
 $>>$                  % 3 such cases: need math environment
