Re: Strange Lyx Beamer error [Solved]

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Good news, I have been able to locate the problem using the SLM (Steve 
Litt Method): I was doing a somewhat anti-latex thing.


In Lyx, I am able to introduce a forced empty line by typing twice 
CMD+Return, and that looks OK on the screen, but, of course Latex does 
not like it at all, even if I introduce some small space before the line 
jump (such lines appear \,\\ in the exported latex). By replacing this 
inelegant construction by a CMD+Return + a vertical space the problem 
has been solved and my slide compiles.


So, beware of spaces looking OK on the Lyx screen, they can not respect 
the Latex's logical requirements...


Thank you again for your helps and suggestions, the Devil was in the 
invisibles this time.


Best regards,

Murat

Yes, that was one of the first things I have tried and it does not
make any difference. Moreover, I have other slide titles
with accents before this error, and they do not seem to pose a problem.


Well it was a shot in the dark...

How about creating a MWE---a one slide presentation, for instance---and
sending it to the list?

I somehow have the feeling you have some kind of encoding problem. I
have been burned by issues resulting from cutting and pasting from other
sources into Lyx before. Encodings were usually to blame.


  Cheers,

Thanks Stefano,
Yes, that was one of the first things I have tried and it does not make any
difference. Moreover, I have other slide titles with accents before this
error, and they do not seem to pose a problem.

I will have to follow the famous Steve Litt methodology I think :-). :
creating a new document and adding incrementally the slides from the old
document until the emergence of the problem. I would really like to
understand the source of this problem, I never meet them when I directly
write in Latex, so I must do some stupid cooy and paste errors in Lyx...

A shot in the dark:

have you tried removing the accented characters (and only the accented
characters) in the offending line and checked if the resulting file
compiles from Lyx? That may point toward an encoding issue.

David,

  Huh! That's interesting. I've always put a \frameend command after each
frame within LyX. Hasn't hurt anything. But, similar to your use, I use the
result for presentation and workshop visuals not as stand-alone documents.

Thanks for the insight,

Rich

Only the end of the document needs a separate \frameend command, at 
least when you write it with LyX.  I don't know how setting up multiple 
chapters might change that, since I only use Beamer for lectures.
