Hanging scripts

By default, the conversion scripts run silently. Because LATEX does not use separate channels to return output and error messages, laps can hang if there is a problem with the LATEX file. If this happens, try typing ``s'' to put LATEX into scroll mode. If this fails to return the prompt after a few seconds, type <ctrl>-C to kill laps, and re-run in verbose mode:
laps -vv <filename>
This will cause LATEX's error messages to be printed normally.
