Hi all, can somebody help, please!
I am working on a thesis (linguistic) based on Miede's
classicthesis.v4.1.
The Example per screenhot causes the compilation to PDF to run
endlessly.
I cannot interrupt the process and am forced to cut the power off.
That makes it even worse - in most cases I am left with a spoiled file
(0 bites).
However, sometimes the file (a child document) remains intact and if I
then remove the example the export to PDF succeeds as normal.
All characters had been typed in using the keyboard.
I want to add that none of those characters used in the Example poses
a problem when typed in normal text or in a gloss as a single
character.
I can't tell you what's going on (aside from the fact that you've
probably found a way to make TeX recurse or loop), but I'll bet that
whoever _can_ tell you what's going on will want to see the Lyx file
that causes the problem. Attach it, maybe?
If the thing is huge or proprietary, try trimming your document down to
the one offending equation. That'll either provide a nice, compact Lyx
file to distribute, or it won't cause the problem in the first place
which will be usefully educational.
