Trying to use a template from overleaf, which worked perfectly in English. But adding babel for Spanish is messing up the document.
I'm getting an error if I try to add a \subsection{}.
I've looked at other questions which mention the conflicts between babel, hyperref and appendix and I believe that there's something similar going on here but I just can't figure it out.
The things that have helped me remove the error are getting rid of the hyperref package or not inserting a table of contents.
Here's the most minimal I could take the template to reproduce the error (I think). I'm using xelatex, not sure if that tells you anything.
\documentclass[
a4paper, % Paper size, use either a4paper or letterpaper
12pt, % Default font size, the template is designed to look good at 12pt so it's best not to change this

Please help, I'm going insane!!
\textsb. What do you expect it to do? Apart from this: don't use inputenc and fontenc with xelatex. And better load babel like this:\usepackage[spanish,es-notilde]{babel}. – Ulrike Fischer Jul 16 '22 at 08:38\textsb{...}is a command in several packages to switch to semibold weight, like the standard\textbf{...}for boldface and\textmd{...}for medium weight. However, it’s not defined in the LaTeX kernel, orfontspec. – Davislor Jul 16 '22 at 15:33
