# Continuo a receber o erro "Runaway argument?" (por exemplo, de um ficheiro .toc): porquê?

Isto é normalmente causado por um ficheiro corrompido/incompleto `.toc` ou outro ficheiro intermédio, e é frequentemente um sinal de que o seu projeto está a atingir o limite de tempo de compilação. Primeiro, pode tentar limpar os ficheiros intermédios clicando na opção "Recompilar do zero" na parte inferior da janela da mensagem de erro.

Se depois obtiver um `timeout de compilação` erro, consulte [este artigo de ajuda](/latex/overleaf-learn-latex-pt/base-de-conhecimento/038-fixing-and-preventing-compile-timeouts.md) para algumas sugestões.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/overleaf-learn-latex-pt/perguntas-e-respostas/61-i-keep-getting-the-runaway-argument-error-e.g.-from-a-.toc-file-why.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
