Re: Another Lyx Error Detected
Another problem I am having is with too many floating figures. I have a large document with anywhere from 3-100 figures within each chapter. I keep getting the error regarding too many floats. This is not a LyX bug but a restriction of LaTeX. LaTeX's floating algorithm works perfectly for a few floats but will fail for too many floats. The limit of currently unprocessed floats is therefore set to 18. There is a way to increase this limit to 36 floats but this only cures the symptom. It can be that LaTeX cannot process one particular float and therefore runs into the limit. Fixing this is not trivial. The best is to cut parts of your document beginning from the end. After every cutting try to compile it as PDF. When it compiles, you know that the problematic float is within the recently deleted part of your document. Either a float setting is not correct (like rotation settings), or there are too many floats for the page. In this case adopt the float placement options as described in sec. 3.5 of the EmbededObjects manual that you find in LyX's Help menu. If you have many pages without text, you should use the page of floats option. I worked around this issue by placing /clearpage every so often to make it produce a PDF. If you are using a book document class, you need to use \cleardoublepage. But you should nevertheless only use clearpage if it is really necessary because the resulting whitespace cannot be avoided easily. Important note: The too many floats error can also occur when having too many margin notes. Therefore also check this. regards Uwe p.s. Such problems are better reported at the lyx-users mailing list I'm forwarding this mail to.

Just my first thought...
