Hi Devel-List, I'm not sure if this is related to Biblatex/biber also going through an update cycle the last week or so, but I suspect it's more likely related to Lyx (as that was just released and the errors started afterwards).
I have a fairly large, complex file that is failing on xelatex pdf preview with the following error: Higher-placed footnotes can't be anchored in inferior ones. I am not putting this text in a footnote. History: \footinsdefault entered in line 24 ! Package bigfoot Error: \footinsdefault forbidden in \footinsdefault .. This error is preceded by the following one: Package polyglossia Info: Option: english variant=american. ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. <recently read> } l.37 of imitation.''} and antagonistic to the promulgated aims of their venu... I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'. Those quote marks after "imitation" are smartquotes in the editing window, and are at the end of a footnote citation that also includes a Quotation block in the ancient variant of Greek. Is it possible that there's some other conflict here between polyglossia, the smartquotes, and the citation interface? Is deleting the curly bracket from the first citation causing the next citation to fail? Is there a different polyglossia definition I need to define ancient Greek in the preamble? Thanks in advance for the help. Cheers, Andrew Walsh
