Corrected Subject: Math-mode in index entries?
( Sorry about the subject of my previous message. I responded to an earlier
message and forgot to change the subject line. At the risk of being considered
a nuisance, here's my message again with a correct subject this time.)
Dear LyXers,
I was delighted to find the other day that I can
put math-moded symbols in my index tags, and that they'll be typeset
into a Symbols section at the start of my index. Unfortunately, this
is not working any more for me, despite not changing my preamble in any
way.
Details:
I have a master LyX document containing
several other child LyX documents. Each of these contains multiple
index entries. One of them contains index entries with math-mode (for
example, $\omega_0$) entered into the index box. Strangely, when I
typeset THAT single document by itself, with an index in it (it has
only \input{preamble} --- referring to the same .tex file containing
the preamble of the master document --- in its preamble), the symbols
typeset fine, and are included in the document's index.
However,
when I typeset the ENTIRE document, it fails, with the message \item
$\omega_0$, \hyperpage{179} and the usual I've inserted a
begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out message. The
page 179 is about where the symbol would appear in the full, properly
typeset document, so I suspect it's something to do with the hyperref
package, which has never given me problems before.
If I
remove the offending index entry, things work fine... for a while.
Recently, as a test, I removed all of the index entries containing
math-mode in that chapter, and the whole document typeset correctly
several times. Just now, though, I tried to compile the .pdf again, and
a math-mode entry ( $s_n$ ) in another chapter (which I had actually
forgotten about because it wasn't an issue) caused problems.
Incidentally, it's not just subscripted index entries --- even plain Greek
(e.g. $\gamma$) entries are now causing errors.
It seems my working index entries are slowly being eaten away!
I've reconfigured LyX and run texhash. Is there anything else I can try?
C.O.
