When I attempt to publish [format and print to pdf] a document compiled from Scrivener and imported into LyX I get a long list of errors, all of which have to do with Lyx--or the document class I'm using, KOMA-Script article--not liking some of the punctuation carried over from Scrivener.
The major offender is--I'm going to describe, because I don't know the name--a long dash which Scrivener converts to when I enter two regular dashes in succession. Single dashes and some single and double quotation marks also give errors. [The error with the long dash--again, forgive my not knowing the name of the thing--may be due to the fact that I believe it is normally preceded and followed by a space; I recently switched to use of long dashes that without the preceding and following spaces.] This is the message I get regarding the long dash: We believe this impasse— between a rigorous method that is difficult You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMath before using this key. My first thought was to go back to Scrivener and change the offending characters--adding spaces before and after double dashes--but that might be unnecessarily laborious, and will not work for the offending single dashes and single and double quotes. Here is an error message related to single quotes: Cartwright, N. (1989a). Nature’ s Capacities and Their Measurement. You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMath before using this key. And double quotes: relatively specific practices ``instituting universal preschool'' You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMath before using this key. Suggestions for resolving the problem would be appreciated.
