[Blindmath] LaTeX got mad or am I that silly?

[Nadir Murru]

Hi,

I am a mathematician and I use LaTex very often. If you send me your wrong
.tex file, maybe I can find the error. For now I can tell you that the
following line

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

is correct, but the line

ż\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

(with dot z) is uncorrect.

Nadir
