Missing \end{figure} inserted into generated LaTeX — known issue? How to avoid it?

[anvarKhakimov]

Hi!
I’m running into a recurring problem during get_paper(add_citations=True).

Denario generates a .tex file that contains at least one figure block like this:

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{...}

—but without the corresponding \end{figure}.

As a result:

• Pandoc fails completely with

expecting \end{figure}
\end{document}
              ^

• The built-in PDF generation does produce a PDF, but the output is truncated and the content stops early — likely due to the malformed environment.

This also causes the citations step to fail.

Question:

1. Is this a known issue?
2. How can I avoid Denario generating incomplete figure environments?
3. Is there some recommended configuration to ensure valid LaTeX output?

Thanks!

Hi @anvarKhakimov,
These are things where LLMs can make mistakes. We have multiple safeguards in place to minimize these and other issues, but still, it may happen from time to time. You can try to rerun the writing module (removing the last .tex file generated) and it may solve the issue. Alternatively, manual correction may be needed.
We will keep adding agents to tackle these issues.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi @franciscovillaescusa,

Just to confirm: to fix this issue I should delete the last generated .tex file under paper/ and rerun only the get_paper() step - correct?

Thank you!

correct! Or just fix it manually
