I'm reading the math manual and will re-enter this string using command mode
(the former ERT, yes?).

Not since 2005 have I entered complex equations. What size brackets should I
specify for the attached equation? Any and all suggestions on writing that
equation are welcome. :-)

TIA,

Rich

Entering a string of variables

2024-03-14 Thread Rich Shepard

In a document I entered a string of variables using inline math mode:
  x_1, x_2, ..., x_n (the numbers are subscripts)
When compiled with pdflatex an error is displayed that there's a unicode
non-printable character (U+FFFC) at the end of the string.

How should I enter such strings to not get this error?

TIA,

Rich

My morning mug of coffee finally kicked in. Control characters, by
definition, are not printable; ergo, they cannot be seen.

I erased the string "distributions. There" where the control character was
found just before the period, and retyped the string. Now the document
compiles without error.

Should have thought of this yesterday.

Thanks, Jürgen.

Jürgen,

Looking at the small window of View -> Code Preview Pane -> Complete Source
and scrolling I didn't see any control character. Looking at the .lyx file
in emacs and searching for the string highlighted by the error message also
did not present a visible control character.
