Hi folks I am using Lyx 1.4.2 on Ubuntu Dapper. When I try and insert a table of contents into the file, and view a DVI or export, I get the following error:
\tableofcontents* A number should have been here; I inserted `0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.) and \tableofcontents* Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc, cm, mm, dd, cc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one! I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points. To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.) In terms of understanding the TeXbook, I am rather slow :-0 and simply have not been able to work out what is needed to fix the problem. Is this a lyx bug? And what can I do, if anything, to get a ToC in my document. Cheers Bruce
