Hi,



Daniel

I am trying to create a PDF that shows the changes I have done in a rather huge document. For some reason when I enable the option, the typesetting never ends. No error, no nothing. Just a message box after a while that the process is still running and whether I want to end it. No matter what I answer, it does not create the PDF.

Where else could I look to get a clue?

Thanks,
Daniel

Sorry, forgot to attach the messages (below). But it doesn't tell me much.

I got it to work after some battle. The endless typeset problem seem to have been caused by tracked changes within a TeX Code inset. I knew that using this combination was risky but I had no clue it could lead to a case where I don't even get an error message. I'll try to create a minimal example. Maybe it's worth knowing how this can happen.

Okay, here it is I think. Whether the LaTeX code is typeset within LyX or not does not matter, so it seems that the code generated by LyX is the problem. As I said, I knew that putting tracked changed into a TeX Code inset is asking for trouble. However, I just missed this one when copy and pasting a whole passage with tracked changed enabled. Still it surprises me that there is no error message or anything. Maybe a problem with the error handling in the booktabs package?
