Okay.  I wasn't sure WHERE the actual error was though.

Thank you.  Of course the paragraph settings to anything other than
Standard was inadvertent. But I would have never looked for that as the
problem.

Thank you very much for your help and your time troubleshooting this.
Another great contribution to the spread of open source/open
content.  :-)

Cheers,
Tim

Spurious '}'

[Tim Cook]

Hi All,

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMD_64

LyX version - 1.6.5

I have a document at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mlhim-specs-dev/mlhim-specs/main/annotate/head:/specs/1.0.x/mlhim/mlhim-ref-man-1.0.0-enUS.lyx

That generates an error when exporting to PDF (pdflatex & ps2pdf):

First line of error:
Argument of \...@sect has an extra }.

The Description is:

\subsubsection

{DV\_QUANTITY Class \label{sub:DV_QUANTITY-Class}}

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.

For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that

I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway

argument that might be the root of the problem. But if

your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Besides not being able to find the offending }.

1) What is usually the cause of this?  I  do a lot of copy/cut - paste.
2) Exactly where and when am I supposed to type a '2' to make this go
away? The description seems to make sense however I am still missing
something here.

Thanks,
Tim
