LaTeX provides many environments for delimiting certain behavior. An environment begins with \begin
and ends with \end
, like this:
\begin{environment-name} ... \end{environment-name}
The environment-name at the beginning must exactly match that at the end. For instance, the input \begin{table*}...\end{table}
will cause an error like: ‘! LaTeX Error: \begin{table*} on input line 5 ended by \end{table}.’
Environments are executed within a group.
