+Common Errors
+=============
+
+``parse error on input ‘-- | xxx’``
+-----------------------------------
+
+This is probably caused by the ``-- | xxx`` comment not following a declaration. I.e. use ``-- xxx`` instead. See :ref:`top-level-declaration`.
+
+``parse error on input ‘-- $ xxx’``
+----------------------------------
+
+You've probably commented out code like::
+
+ f x
+ $ xxx
+
+``-- $`` is a special syntax for named chunks, see :ref:`named-chunks`. You can fix this by escaping the ``$``::
+
+ -- \$ xxx
