Dear LyXers, I was delighted to find the other day that I can put math-moded symbols in my index tags, and that they'll be typeset into a "Symbols" section at the start of my index. Unfortunately, this is not working any more for me, despite not changing my preamble in any way.
Details: I have a master LyX document containing several other child LyX documents. Each of these contains multiple index entries. One of them contains index entries with math-mode (for example, $\omega_0$) entered into the index box. Strangely, when I typeset THAT single document by itself, with an index in it (it has only \input{preamble} --- referring to the same .tex file containing the preamble of the master document --- in its preamble), the symbols typeset fine, and are included in the document's index. However, when I typeset the ENTIRE document, it fails, with the message " \item $\omega_0$, \hyperpage{179}" and the usual "I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out" message. The page 179 is about where the symbol would appear in the full, properly typeset document, so I suspect it's something to do with the hyperref package, which has never given me problems before. If I remove the offending index entry, things work fine... for a while. Recently, as a test, I removed all of the index entries containing math-mode in that chapter, and the whole document typeset correctly several times. Just now, though, I tried to compile the .pdf again, and a math-mode entry ( $s_n$ ) in another chapter (which I had actually forgotten about because it wasn't an issue) caused problems. Incidentally, it's not just subscripted index entries --- even plain Greek (e.g. $\gamma$) entries are now causing errors. It seems my working index entries are slowly being eaten away! I've reconfigured LyX and run texhash. Is there anything else I can try? C.O. ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
