Re: Message error when compiling
And note that, sometimes, when you're trimming a file down for that "minimal example" you end up doing such a good job narrowing things down to the real problem that you find the solution itself. So even if you disregard the benefit to the community, it's not just wasted work.

Message error when compiling
Dear LyX users, I try to compile a LyX document but receive the following error message "White space in argument---line 259 of file Application-Montreal.aux". However, I do not have any .aux. file before or after this process. What is my error ? Thank you very much in advance, Best regards, Harold Mouras

For Mathematical Operators, wrapping in a math-inset is a correct workaround/solution. For Dingbats or other text symbols this would be suboptimal (works but not "clean" because math-mode is for mathematical content). When using a math-inset, you can also use the LaTeX command instead of searching the symbol in "Special Character". (You find the name e.g. in the Source Preview Pane). LyX will show the symbols (for most supported mathematical symbols, at least) in the GUI and "do the right thing" on LaTeX export. Günter Ah Günter, your above explanations are highly interesting! Thanks. Michael
