Hi, Lyx users!
i'm pulling my hair out... while exporting my Lyx doc i have ONE error,
something to do with an index entry. When i remove the index entry then
i suddenly get tons of COMPLETELY unrelated errors, going all the way
back to the very top of the doc. i'm damned if i do, damned if i don't.
My only option for exporting right now is to delete the Index.
The latex log dialog says:
Undefined control sequence.
...{class_name\\}\index{CLASS_NAME\(T\)}}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
But deleting the broken IDX entry just causes MORE errors. i don't get
it If i change the line containing the error from a Subsection to
Standard i get 28 errors. If i delete the line altogether i get 25
errors. The line currently has 2 index entries. If delete the 1st one,
i get 1 error. If i then change the TEXT of the 2nd one (say, to foo)
i get 25 errors. If i delete only the 2nd IDX entry i get 27 errors.
It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!!! A! i've done all of these
edits with both Lyx and with emacs, and get the same results.
Can someone PLEASE take a look at this doc and tell me what is wrong
with section 13.2 i've tried everything i can think of.
http://s11n.net/tmp/s11n.lyx
(approx 300k)
Please help!
PS: i'm using Lyx 1.3.4 on a Suse Linux 9.1 box.

It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!!! A! i've done all of these
edits with both Lyx and with emacs, and get the same results.
Can someone PLEASE take a look at this doc and tell me what is wrong
with section 13.2 i've tried everything i can think of.
http://s11n.net/tmp/s11n.lyx
(approx 300k)
Please help!
PS: i'm using Lyx 1.3.4 on a Suse Linux 9.1 box.

You have a lot of labels like blah_blah. A safe way is to use here blah-blah - same for a lot of the index entries. They always should use the \_ characters for the text underscore.

I corrected the exported tex file, because the error handling with the error boxes inside LyX is a mess. Give me your private email and I'll send you the tex file. Herbert
woe with indexing
Hi, Lyx users!
i'm pulling my hair out... while exporting my Lyx doc i have ONE error,
something to do with an index entry. When i remove the index entry then
i suddenly get tons of COMPLETELY unrelated errors, going all the way
back to the very top of the doc. i'm damned if i do, damned if i don't.
My only option for exporting right now is to delete the Index.
The latex log dialog says:
Undefined control sequence.
...{class_name\<\>}\index{CLASS_NAME\(T\)}}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
But deleting the broken IDX entry just causes MORE errors. i don't get
it If i change the line containing the error from a Subsection to
Standard i get 28 errors. If i delete the line altogether i get 25
errors. The line currently has 2 index entries. If delete the 1st one,
i get 1 error. If i then change the TEXT of the 2nd one (say, to "foo")
i get 25 errors. If i delete only the 2nd IDX entry i get 27 errors.
