Thanks for the suggestion. Surprisingly, LaTeX does compile; with a bunch of errors in the .log, to be sure, but none of them fatal.

How can I find out what the compiler was doing when it stumbled upon the things that LyX finds offending? The part of the .log file that seems relevant is:

[168] [169]
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
              $
l.370
   ?
! Extra }, or forgotten $.
\maththreesuperior ->{^3}
                      l.370
   ?
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
              $
l.370
   ?
! Missing } inserted.
<inserted text>
              }
l.370
   ?

Is any of this indicative of which part of which file the compiler was working on?

Thanks again,
Manolo


Typically LaTeX will get confused, print out something that gives you a hint of where it went off a cliff, and then print a lot of messages like what you are seeing here. So I would suggest looking for the first occurance of an error out of LaTeX and see if you can determine what part of the document it was processing when that error occurred.

Given that the error involves "$", I would bet that you either have an unterminated math command or you have tried to use a math command without enclosing it in the proper "$". You might also look for mis- matched braces {}.
