Yes, you are right, it is a LaTeX error, I was blinded by the errormsg.
Anyhow this is LyX, and LyX makes LaTeX code that do not compile
if you make some unwise choices. I guess we could say that you should not
make these choices, which is the easiest way :).
However, if we could get LyX to end the environments before starting the
marginpar the problem would go away.
Contrast the LaTeX code outputed by LyX, which does not work:
\paragraph{\emph{Elymus foliis mucronato-pungentibus, s. Elymus arenarius.
}\textmd{\emph{}}%
\protect\marginpar{
\paragraph{\textmd{\emph{\small Leymus arenarius}}}%
}}
With my hand written one that does work, (the only difference is that I moved
the
brace to end the paragraph before I start the marginpar):
\paragraph{\emph{Elymus foliis mucronato-pungentibus, s. Elymus arenarius.
}\textmd{\emph{}}}% <--extra brace here
\protect\marginpar{
\paragraph{\textmd {\emph{\small Leymus arenarius}}}%
} %<-- one less brace here
I am not a programmer and do not understand the LaTeX "lexer", however, I
understand that this might be difficult to accomplish and thus I leave it to
the programmers to decide if this is something that happens so often
that we should use time to fix it.
