Hi Paul:

Yes, I do. It works fine using \cellcolor.

Thanks a lot.

Probably...
Here goes a small example, where it works on the first table and fails
on the second.

I am unable to reproduce the problem here (LyX 2.1.4 on Linux Mint 17.2);
the document compiles correctly (with a gray table row) the first time, with
no error messages. Most likely you are inserting the ERT in the designated
row in a place that offends LaTeX's sensibilities. If you can post a minimal

Question about row table color & error

2015-12-19 Thread Pedro Neves 

Hi all:

I'm trying to set a gray coloured row on my table, using the following 
lines on my document preamble:


\usepackage{colortbl}

\definecolor{lightgray}{gray}{0.8}


and the following ert on my table row:


\rowcolor{lightgray}


When I try to visualise the pdf (ctrl+r) I keep getting the error:

--

! Misplaced \noalign.

-

I've found a referece to this error, with an explanation here:



http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/33836, which 
explains why it happens, but even if I set the entire table to roman 
font, the error still occurs.


I've noticed however that if I follow the steps outlined bellow, the 
error still occurs, but I'm able to view the pdf with the intended output:


1 - remove the ert code from the table
2 - view the pdf (with ctrl+r) and leave the pdf open
3 - re-insert the code (\rowcolor{lightgray} in the cell
4 - regenerate the pdf (ctrl+r)

Any ideas why this happens?


Thanks in advance:

Best regards:

Pedro

P.S. - I'm using Lyx 2.1.4 on Kubuntu 15.10
