Pamet TeXu se preplni jen zridka. Obvykle je totim, ze nesouhlasi zavorky
{} (chybi prava), takze TeX nacita temer cely dokument jako parametr a
zaflaka pamet. Zkuste si tedy overit parovani zavorek, \begin a \end se v
LaTeXu ohlida celkem inteligentne. Pokud jsou zavorky v poradku a presto
potrebujete zvetsit pamet, budete si muset vzit zdrojak a TeX znovu
prelozit.
