MiKTeX: Download from http://miktex.org/. When prompted, check the option which enables to install packages on-the-fly.
TeX Live. TeX Live is not capable of downloading packages on-the-fly (see http://www.texdev.net/2011/11/19/tex-on-windows-miktex-or-tex-live/ for details), so it is recommended to install the full package:
sudo apt-get install -y texlive-full

Make sure that your LaTeX distribution contains version 1.5+ of the magyar.ldf file. If not, download the latest one.
Use the following packages ensures that the reader is able to 1) search for accented characters 2) copy text from the document properly.
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{cmap}
If you use xetex, use the following setup:
\usepackage{ifxetex}
\ifxetex
\usepackage{fontspec}
\else
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

Select your formatted table and click the corresponding button under the Add-Ins (hu: Bővítmények) ribbon. And of course allow macros. Maybe you have to add LaTeX packages: bigstrut, rotating, multirow.
The lstlistings package does not support UTF-8 characters. If you need to use guillemets (French quotation mark characters) in Xtend code: 1) change the guillemets to [guilleft] and [guilright] literals 2) add the following settings to the listing:
\lstset{literate=*{[guilleft]}{\guillemotleft{}}{1}{[guilright]}{\guillemotright{}}{1},}
See the tikzposter class: http://ctan.ijs.si/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikzposter/tikzposter.pdf
Using UTF-8 characters in listings may produce the following error:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:�\expandafter not set up for use with LaTeX.
\lstset{
...
inputencoding=utf8,
extendedchars=false,
}
Note that the extendedchars key should be set to false.

Follow this URL: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf. Mirrors for the 3.0 documentation:
English speaking documents don’t use the \frenchspacing options. This means that every . character is interpreted as a full stop and is followed by a double space. This way, e.g. something is rendered as e.g. something. A common solution to fix this is writing e.g.\ something. However, for longer documents, this approach is error-prone, so we recommend using the following commands instead:
\newcommand{\ie}{i.e.\@\xspace}
\newcommand{\Ie}{I.e.\@\xspace}
\newcommand{\eg}{e.g.\@\xspace}
\newcommand{\Eg}{E.g.\@\xspace}
\newcommand{\etal}{et al.\@\xspace}
\newcommand{\etc}{etc.\@\xspace}
\newcommand{\vs}{vs.\@\xspace}
\newcommand{\viz}{viz.\@\xspace}

Adobe Reader (on both Windows and Linux), displays the following error message:
There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (131)
In my case, this was caused by an “incorrect” PNG file (included with includegraphics). I couldn’t fix the PNG (using Print Screen/GIMP/…).
The possible workarounds are the following:
pdfcrop).For sophisticated syntax highlighting, it is recommended to use the minted package. This uses the pygments Python package. On Ubuntu, use the following command to install it:
sudo apt-get install python-pygments
The following LaTeX code works with both PDFLaTeX and XeLaTeX:

Problem: the ACM Master template throws the following error when compiling:
! Missing = inserted for \ifnum.
<to be read again>
U
l.5 ...R14, AUTOSAR, DBLP:conf/ifm/LutebergetJS16}
).
Solution: this is caused by double curly braces in an author field of the BibTeX file, for example
author = {{AUTOSAR Consortium}},
Simply use single curly braces – the template is able to handle author names properly (and it will not invert the name as Consortium, A.).
Symptom: The build fails with the following message:
Package xcolor Error: Undefined color 'n'
Cause and solution: There is a deprecated xcolor.sty file next to the tex file. Remove it.
The \mapsfrom (↤) symbol in stmaryrd gets translated to ←[ when copied from the text with the cmap package activated.
If you think this is unacceptable, you can use use the \mapsfrom character from the stix package.
To import this character without the entire (quite heavy) stix package, follow the instructions at Stack Exchange:
\DeclareFontEncoding{LS1}{}{}
\DeclareFontSubstitution{LS1}{stix}{m}{n}
\DeclareSymbolFont{arrows1}{LS1}{stixsf}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\mapsfrom}{\mathrel}{arrows1}{"AB}
