incompatibility between lyx, hyperref and tth

He responds:
Hello. Thanks for this message. The problem is with the way Lyx is laying
out its \usepackage command. TtH knows nothing about \usepackage. It treats
it as an unknown command.
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/manual/sec9.html#commands+unknown93
explains that such commands ought to be laid out _without_ whitespace
between themselves and their arguments. Because Lyx is inserting whitespace
before {hyperref}, TtH scans it as if it is the start of the text.
The only way to fix this properly is for Lyx to avoid adding that extra
whitespace between ] and {. No space or newline is allowed. You could fix
it by hand in the .tex file yourself; but that's a bit annoying.

Re: lyx & hyperref error
It seems, the problem is that hyperref redefines \contentsline, because it
needs additional information. So you have to provide the extra argument. If
I add the extra argument as shown below everything works fine with the
hyperref package.
%\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\contentsline {part}%
% {\protect\figurenameToC}{\protect\relax}{Figure}%
%}
Thanks for all your help.

Yes, that did it! Thanks a lot.

the following lines in the thesis.cls are the problem. if you could comment
them out,
all should work. hyperref can't handle such command structure. with these
changes
it worked for me and the changes are only for the toc, lof and lot and not
important.

The problem is that thesis.cls uses a non-standard way of creating the table of contents, and therefore it cannot be used with hyperref. I don't think that there is a simple solution to the problem.

Herbert,
I found some more information. If I comment out the following lines at the
end of the thesis.cls file then hyperref works out fine, but I don't get
ToC, LoF, or LoT. I hope this helps track out the problem.
Thanks again,
Enrique

But I knew that. The problem is that what is the point of a pdf file without all the hyperlinks? Worthless if you ask me. I would greatly appreciate if you could look at this problem more closely. My knowledge of LaTeX is nil. Also note that when you uncomment the \SuspendPrologue at the bottom of the demo-pre.tex file, hyperref works fine. However, all the preliminary pages are not printed, and I think that strangely enough then it doesn't quite follow the thesis.cls layout.

can you send a smal example-file which shows the behaviour?

Re: lyx & hyperref error
Herbert,
Thanks. But yes that is what Weiss says in his document:
"You'll still need to type in your prologue [see section [sec:prologue]] by
hand and include it into the preamble. I'd recommend putting it all in a
separate text file and using the "\input{...}" command to include it in the
preamble."
This is the Thesis-Style for LyX in your very helpful LyX-Tips website.

lyx & hyperref error
Hi!
Could it be an unbalanced "}" in the class document? In this case I'm using
the thesis.cls of John Weiss. I cannot find any unbalanced } in the LaTeX
preamble.
Is there a quick way to check for unbalanced "}" in a long document (i.e.
thesis.cls).
Thanks,

I'm a LyX newbie and I need some help.
I'm writing a document and would like to use hyperref.
I added "\usepackage[dvips]{hyperref}" at the end of my LaTeX preamble, but
when I try to export the document to PDF I get two errors, right at the top

The errors are:
1) TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=1500].
\select@language

2) Argument of \select@language has an extra }.
\select@language

What does all these mean? What am I doing wrong?

I suppose you forgot an parenthesis in the preamble.
send it to the list, if you doesn't find the error.
