I am going back to some old TeX code (huge project) and running into major bitrot. I am for the moment getting this error message:

! Package tikz Error: Sorry, some package has redefined the meaning of the math
-mode dollar sign. This is incompatible with tikz and its calc library and migh
t cause unrecoverable errors.

See the tikz package documentation for explanation.

I am trying to find the explanation promised but can't find anything when searching for that error message in the: https://www.bu.edu/math/files/2013/08/tikzpgfmanual.pdf

Am I looking at the wrong place?

  • An explanation of this problem is described in this answer. – epR8GaYuh Jun 02 '17 at 12:06
  • That documentation is quite old (current version is 3.0.1a), better to look at CTAN to get the latest one, or open a terminal/command prompt on your system, type texdoc tikz and hit enter. I can't see that it is explained there though. At least not the error. – Torbjørn T. Jun 02 '17 at 15:25
  • Such error message may happen because of using preview package. Some info. I worked problem around by using \documentclass[preview]{standalone} instead of preview package. – anton_rh Nov 17 '21 at 18:42
