Couldn't compile online, but works on pdflatex offline.

See original GitHub issue

There was an error I get when trying to compile my tex files online, but the pdflatex on my machine, version pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019/Termux), compiles it without errors.

Here is the error from latexonline.cc:

pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -recorder -output-directory latex.out /tmp/downloads/tmp_706/main.tex
/tmp/downloads/tmp_706/main.tex:8: error: Missing number, treated as zero
      at <to be read again> t
                            ^
    from \usepackage{geometry}[top=0.5in]
There were errors; /tmp/storage/compilation_669/output.pdf not updated

It works okay for me with texlive2020. Please use Texlive2020 which is available on latexonline.cc

I just found out that I needed to use the subdomain, texlive2020 to make it work: https://texlive2020.latexonline.cc/compile?url=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/harieamjari/f9a48e78c0e084183d77bc3493b5b0b4/raw/271d528d7da0b30cf1b7b8878ab1a793c1913cf5/calculus101.tex&command=pdflatex
