I have a weird latex problem:
missing number : this does not make any sense. I have already found many answers on forums suggesting subfig/subcaption related solutions but neither work for me. The very strange thing is that this master thesis template compiled just fine before I reinstalled Win 10 with the SAME latex compiler (Miktex 2.9)
... please any help would be appreciated...
Best regards.
Here is the full template:
\documentclass[
