The following codes return errors 

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
cd\\
[asd]
\end{document}

But this one will work

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
cd

[asd]
\end{document}

  • What is the error message? – Romain Picot Apr 30 '14 at 14:32

    This is caused by [ I think. \\ can take an optional argument, which is a length. LaTeX picks up [asd] as an optional argument to \\, but asd is not a valid length, so you get an error. There have been similar questions before I think. – Torbjørn T. Apr 30 '14 at 14:33

    Instead use cd\\\relax [asd]. The \relax will prevent the following bracket from being taken as an argument. – Steven B. Segletes Apr 30 '14 at 14:37
