It's not MY code, it's LyX's code ;). i just do the typing. i find it extremely disappointing that lyx allows me to enter invalid entries using the Index entry dialog!!! > - the underscore is _math_ character, so you cannot use it as > text character.

If i now change the entry to, e.g., "foo", i get a whole slew of complete unrelated errors going all the way back to the title line. > you can try to use the underscore package in the preamble, then > have to fix only the errors for the last three items. i will go through and get rid of all the underscores in the index, but i've got to say, i'm NOT at all happy about that. For example, i'm indexing C++ class names, like foo_bar. > I corrected the exported tex file, because the error handling > with the error boxes inside LyX is a mess.
