Why won't my LaTeX file compile?I am using MikTex and TeXShell.
In my TeXShell file, I have done:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
MY WORK
\end{document}
I then saved this file as a .tex file. In TeXShell I made it the "Main File". I then clicked on the "LaTeX" button on the grey bar and it checked and said there was no mistakes in my formula. Then, when I click F6 or "Compile", it runs through some CMD screen and then nothing happens. My file doesn't compile and I can't see what I've done.

Why won't my LaTeX file compile?It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.
They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.
All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.
What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...
