Hi...
I am working on several documents which use margin notes to show the
date on which particular information was entered. A few of these notes print
successfully, but now I have encountered one or more which will not. When I go
to print or view DVI, only the pages of the document before these notes are
generated, and I get the following in the LaTeX log:
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2) (format=latex 1998.10.11) 16 APR 1999

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

The file ended while I was skipping conditional text.
This kind of error happens when you say `\if...' and forget
the matching `\fi'. I've inserted a `\fi'; this might work.
! Emergency stop.
<*> anthro-notes.tex
*** (job aborted, no legal \end found)
This happens whether the note is on a line by itself, or whether it
has text before or after it. One of these notes is on a line before a table
begins, and another is right before an itemized section; it looks like the
second one may be at fault, but because of the wide range of lines given in the
log I cannot be sure.
The blurb on the LyX Web page says no familiarity with LaTeX is
necessary to use it... but I can't help thinking that if I were familiar with
it I might know what's causing this. :(
Thanks for any help,
