Why does this line yield the "Missing $" error:

\begin{item} Hello \rightarrow \end{item}
+6  A: 

try

\begin{item} Hello $\rightarrow$ \end{item}

Its a math symbol, so you have to use it in a math environment.

That's a good andwer, but I'd rather use `\begin{item} Hello \\(\rightarrow\\) \end{item}`. If you're not sure you are in math environment use `\ensuremath{\rightarrow}`.
