B.28 Something's wrong-perhaps a missing \item

You may have missed an \item command. The first object in a list environment must either be an \item command, or another list environment.

This error will be caused by, say,

✘ \begin{itemize} Animal \item Vegetable \item Mineral \end{itemize}

instead of

✔ \begin{itemize} \item Animal \item Vegetable \item Mineral \end{itemize}

This error can also be caused by a missing \bibitem in the bibliography. For example, the error will occur if you do, say,

✘ \begin{thebibliography}{1} A Guide to \LaTeXe

instead of

✔ \begin{thebibliography}{1} \bibitem{kopka95} A Guide to \LaTeXe
