Curly braces between MATH tags cause unknown error.

Hi:
I am sending the whole text bellow:

Hi:
In the book The Theory of Finite Groups: An Introduction, by Hans Kurzweil and Bernd Stellmacher, New York, 2004, in section 1.6, Products of Groups, there is Exercise 3:

Let $G$ be finite. Suppose that every maximal subgroup of $G$ is simple and normal in $G$ . Then $G$ is an Abelian group and $\{ \}$ , where $p, q$ are primes.

END OF TEXT

'and [LaTeX ERROR: Unknown error] , ' should be replaced by 'and MATH_TAG \{ \} /MATH_TAG, '

Would you be so nice to tell me what to do?

EDIT
More simple than that: the following text:

]MATH[ \{ ]MATH[

causes LaTeX ERROR: Unknown error. I wrote inverted square brackets on purpose, only here.

We're using [tex]*insert latex here*[/tex] as a "temporary" fix.

Note I've edited the quoted post to use tex tags

When I use [tex] tags I get an error:

[tex]\Delta P = \rho g \Delta h[/tex] ----> $\Delta P = \rho g \Delta h$

[tex]\Delta P = \rho g \Delta h[/tex] ---> $\Delta P = \rho g \Delta h$

edit: math tags are working again (Even in part)? That's news to me. But using tex tags still seems to solve your problem

Thanks a lot. In the Latex Help forum, I've just seen someone posted a forum-wide announcement, regarding this matter. Do you know where it is located?

And, if you don't mind: what's the latex string for 'normal in', as in H normal in G?

This thread is now in the LaTeX area of MHF, look about six threads down and you will find what you want.
