Once I use the siunitx
package, this error message prompts:
! File ended while scanning use of \__siunitx_table_rewrite_create_aux:w. <inserted text> \par <*> paper.tex I suspect you have forgotten a `}', causing me to read past where you wanted me to stop. I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious, you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file. !

The issue here is the
mdwtab
package, which completely alters the tabular code fromarray
. Withinsiunitx
, the code attempts to be cross-compatible by not making too many assumptions, butarray
is very widely used and so is treated as a baseline.To fix the issue, there are a couple of changes needed. First, you have to account for this altered table mechanism. Secondly, you need to also allow for an additional token that gets placed in the tabular cells by
mdwtab
. A patch looks something likeI'll look to incorporate this into the next
siunitx
release: there may be a few more wrinkles to iron out, but that should cover the basics.
