Re: Strange Lyx Beamer error [Solved]

2013-02-14 Thread Murat Yildizoglu 
Good news, I have been able to locate the problem using the SLM (Steve 
Litt Method): I was doing a somewhat anti-latex thing.


In Lyx, I am able to introduce a forced empty line by typing twice 
CMD+Return, and that looks OK on the screen, but, of course Latex does 
not like it at all, even if I introduce some small space before the line 
jump (such lines appear \,\\ in the exported latex). By replacing this 
inelegant construction by a CMD+Return + a vertical space the problem 
has been solved and my slide compiles.


So, beware of spaces looking OK on the Lyx screen, they can not respect 
the Latex's logical requirements...


Thank you again for your helps and suggestions, the Devil was in the 
invisibles this time.


Best regards,

Murat

Thanks Stefano,
Yes, that was one of the first things I have tried and it does not
make any difference. Moreover, I have other slide titles
with accents before this error, and they do not seem to pose a problem.


Well it was a shot in the dark...

How about creating a MWE---a one slide presentation, for instance---and
sending it to the list?

I somehow have the feeling you have some kind of encoding problem. I
have been burned by issues resulting from cutting and pasting from other
sources into Lyx before. Encodings were usually to blame.


  Cheers,


Stefano
