This is indeed a LaTeX thing. The newline sequence (\\) has more than
one signature
- \\ :: simple newline
- \\[additionalSpace] :: newline with additionalSpace
- \\*[additionalSpace] :: same as above but will not break a page
After the \\ sequence, LaTeX looks for a [ or a * in case the optional
argument exists. In the example above the star is found as _part of a
command sequence_ and is therefore not available as something to
typeset.
One solution in this situation is to put an empty group before the
stars:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
ITEM \\
\hline
{}* There comes the table \\
{}* first \\
{}** second \\
{}*** third \\
{}*** other third \\
{}**** fourth \\
{}** other second \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
I will think on other possible options. I hope this helps.
