How to compile the source code of TeX LaTeX Stack Exchange?
To compile the WEB system we need an implementation of tangle; you can either get one from an existing TeX package, or you can compile it from Pascal source. Note that if you want to read about the implementation of any WEB program you can use weave and TeX to produce copious documentation; this is a good starting point to Knuth’s code.
What to do if a LaTeX file fails to compile?

Why do I get error messages in my LaTeX editor?
In many cases the problem could be something as simple as a mis-typed command, an un-escaped special character, or a missing bracket. On occasion, you may find an error or warning message, or a statement in your log file indicating that there is a problem in an auxiliary file with an extension other than .tex, such as .bbl, .aux, etc.
What kind of language is TeX LaTeX written in?
TeX is written in WEB, a programming language invented by Knuth. So first we’re going to need WEB. WEB is written in WEB itself, it consists of two programs: weave which produces the TeX documentation from a WEB program, and tangle which produces Pascal code from a WEB program.

When to abort compilation in TeX LaTeX Stack Exchange?
If there is an error in the compilation step (as there is likely to be, e.g. when you have typed a “$” in your source file but not yet typed the closing “$”), you need to just abort the compilation (better is to start the compilation in -nonstopmode), and when there are errors, make sure the existing PDF/DVI file is not modified.
