Hi John,
good question! Thinking that one of those characters might be the
culprit I forgot to mention that compiling the child document alone
_always_ works.
But after saving and including it in the master document, compiling
_always_ enters that loop (or whatever it is).
I can reproduce this behavior as many times as I want.
So, in the layman's thinking something on the way to include the child
in the master is going wrong. The only difference is that sometimes the
child file is destroyed and sometimes it is not.
My master document in question has 14 child documents. Most contain
glosses and other special things typical for linguistic theses and they
include and compile just fine.
Funny enough, only the child with characters as shown in the screen shot
creates the problem. A pseudo problem?
However, now it becomes clear to me that this most probably has nothing
to do with any characters - very same examples do work well in other
documents (document class KOMA-Script article, without master-child
relationship).
You seem to be on the right track as to what is causing this mysterious
problem - I hope so very much!
Miede's template?
I pray as I am very desperate after days of frustration!
Thanks and regards,
Michael Berger

Yes does the one sub-file do the same thing if you compile it alone in
the template ?

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.
