Hi all,
I just fell across a problem when I loaded an old (1.1.6) file into lyx 1.2pre5: It's a very ugly file, as I had to work alot with ERT. The old file contained \latex latex \backslash begin{multicols*}{2}[ \backslash section*{ \color blue { \backslash Large \backslash textrm{ \latex default Introduction \latex latex \color default }}}] \layout Standard which correctly produces the following tex code: \begin{multicols*}{2}[\section*{\textcolor{blue}{{\Large\textrm{Introduction}}}}] Loading and saving it with 1.2pre5 ends up with \begin_inset ERT status Collapsed \layout Standard \backslash begin{multicols*}{2}[ \backslash section*{{ \backslash Large \backslash textrm{ \end_inset \color blue Introduction \begin_inset ERT status Collapsed \layout Standard }}}] \end_inset The \color default somehow didn't make it through the conversion, and consequently this gets translated into \begin{multicols*}{2}[\section*{{\Large\textrm{\textcolor{blue}{Introduction}}}]} As you may recognize, the last two braces are exchanged, i.e., it's ]} instead of }], and therefore latex bails out with sometimes very strange messages :-( Pit -- Dr. Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.astro.uu.nl/~suetter Sterrenkundig Instituut Utrecht Tel.: +31 (0)30 253 5225 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
