Note that LyX 2.4 will provide you a feature to automatically mover
labels outside of such arguments.

In LyX 2.3, you will have to position the label in the paragraph below
the subsection.

References -- TeX capacity exceeded

[Eckhard Höffner]

Hello,

Even though it's not an actual LyX problem, I hope someone can help.
I am using lyx 2.3.7 / debian testing. It has just updated texlive; 
LuaHBTeX, Version 1.17.0 (TeX Live 2023/Debian) (format=lualatex 2023.9.5)


In my opinion, it's the references, because if I delete all references, 
the error doesn't appear. The log file is over 100 kb so I won't send it 
here. But there is no error message in there, except for the one about 
the TeX capacity.


The abort starts with the first \label{mark}
Does anyone know why that is. When I use the LyX tutorial, which also 
includes marks and links, the error doesn't come.


Class scrbook Warning: \float@addtolists detected!
(scrbook) Implementation of \float@addtolist became
(scrbook) deprecated in KOMA-Script v3.01 2008/11/14 and

TeX capacity exceeded

[Robert Adolle]

I don't find texmf.cnf in /usr, /usr/bin, etc.
Where is it ? Is it the right file to raise tex capacity of LyX ?
Thanks you !

R.A.

Re: TeX capacity exceeded

[Smith, Henry]

Don't do that!  If you do, you won't find any error and you're likely to
screw up your TeX.

Please listen to what others have tried to tell you, and try to find out
where your error is.

It is not TeX's fault, for sure!  Although one might blame it for obscure
error messages dating back to the dark ages of mainframes, VaXen etc...

Good luck - Bon chance!

Hi Robert,

Every time I've seen that message, it's been caused by an error on my
part, not a document that was too big or anything like that.

I solve these in about 10 minutes as follows:

* Back up the original document.
* Keep dividing by half the remaining doc until the problem goes away
* Keep adding parts until it comes back
* Repeat last two steps til you find the paragraph causing the error
* Remove all of the document except the bad paragraph
* Keep dividing the paragraph in half until the problem goes away, or
  until a 1 word paragraph still causes the problem

After narrowing it down that finely, the root cause should be obvious,
and you can fix it. Keep in mind if you get it down to one word and
that word has no environment or character style associated with it,
the problem is probably in the document preamble or the layout file (if
you have one).

In general, once you have a tiny document in which you can at will
toggle the symptom, you've pretty much pinpointed the root cause.

This sounds like a big hassle, it's usually the quickest way to find
the problem. And what I like about it is I don't have to know anything
about LyX or LaTeX. And if I *still* can't figure it out, I can email
the tiny document to the LyX people and they'll know instantly what's
wrong.

I am willing to bet that you did not really exceed the TeX capacity.  
What probably happened was that you included, accidentally, a more

I would see these if I stayed within a subheading environment and then 
wrote a displayed equation.
The best way to find this sort of error is to cut up your file (delete

If you really want to do this, then you should look in your texmf.cnf 
file and modify the value of stack_size. However, as several people have 
said, that may well not help. This error can be caused by all kinds of 
weird things that cause TeX to go into some kind of loop.

Let me try to explain it this way. If you were to run the following
Python program (call it forkbomb.py):

===
#!/usr/bin/python

def fork(number):
print number
#   if number  100:
#   return
fork(number+1)


fork(1)
===

You get the following error message:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Does that mean you should increase Python's recursion depth? No way.
You could increase it to a million, and it would simply take the
program another second or so to bomb. The recursion depth error is
caused by the program being bad -- specifically that it has nothing to
tell it when to quit recursing (because those two lines are commented
out). I'd go ten to one that this is similar to what is happening in
your document -- something in your document is getting run over and
over again until TeX breaks, and that's happening because there's
something wrong with your program.

But I could be wrong. So test my hypothesis like this. Make a LyX
document, with no fonts or styles or document preamble or layout file,
that is 50 times the size of the document that's bombing.

Using LyX and Vim, I just created a 31MB LyX file. It took about 10
seconds to load it, and about 1.5 minutes to compile it. It's 9140
pages long, full of text. No error message about TeX capacity.

What wizard ? How to get it ?

If you really want to do this, then you should look in your texmf.cnf 
file and modify the value of stack_size. However, as several people have 
said, that may well not help. This error can be caused by all kinds of 
weird things that cause TeX to go into some kind of loop.

Let me try to explain it this way. If you were to run the following
Python program (call it forkbomb.py):

===
#!/usr/bin/python

def fork(number):
print number
#   if number > 100:
#   return
fork(number+1)


fork(1)
===

You get the following error message:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Does that mean you should increase Python's recursion depth? No way.
You could increase it to a million, and it would simply take the
program another second or so to bomb. The recursion depth error is
caused by the program being bad -- specifically that it has nothing to
tell it when to quit recursing (because those two lines are commented
out). I'd go ten to one that this is similar to what is happening in
your document -- something in your document is getting run over and
over again until TeX breaks, and that's happening because there's
something wrong with your program.

But I could be wrong. So test my hypothesis like this. Make a LyX
document, with no fonts or styles or document preamble or layout file,
that is 50 times the size of the document that's bombing.

Using LyX and Vim, I just created a 31MB LyX file. It took about 10
seconds to load it, and about 1.5 minutes to compile it. It's 9140
pages long, full of text. No error message about TeX capacity.

I routinely use single quote (') to denote transpose in math insets, and

If that's not the source of the memory problem, you might try a

Re: Tex capacity exceeded

Paul's suggestion is certainly worthy of a try. However, sometimes the problem 
is a problem of the whole, rather than of the sum of the parts. I mean this: 
When I was finishing up my thesis, I ran into various TeX capacity problems, 
none of which would occur when each chapter (appendix, etc.) was compiled 
separately, nor when all but one were put together. It didn't matter which I 
removed, the result would compile, but all together wouldn't. Taking out the 
TOC, too, fixed things, or the bibliography, or the index.
   I ended up concluding that I was running into some problem with the sum of 
the TOC + chapters + reference list(s) + appendices + index, and only fixed it 
by collecting at least two of my main chapters into a single appendix. It 
wasn't ideal, but I could find no other way around the problem.

   I hear that there are a few TeX replacements (or modern versions) which 
don't have these esoteric limits to them, but don't know of their status. Does 
anyone have suggestions of some systems I could research?

prosper package and Tex capacity exceeded

[Romuald Poteau]

Dear Lyx users,

I have updated my system to OpenSuse10.3 (previous version : 10.1) and I
obtain a latex error I did not encounter before, and which seems
specific of the compilation of prosper documents.
The message is tex capacity exceeded. Sorry [save_size = 5000].
It is obtained with my old 1.4.3 version of lyx, as well as with the new
version installed with opensuse (1.5.1).
I have tried to increase the save_size parameter in
/usr/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, without success.
Is it necessary to say that this problem did not appear with the
previous version of suse ?

Is it necessary to update the prosper layout ?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Romuald

I have updated my system to OpenSuse10.3 (previous version : 10.1) and I
obtain a latex error I did not encounter before, and which seems
specific of the compilation of prosper documents.
The message is tex capacity exceeded. Sorry [save_size = 5000].
It is obtained with my old 1.4.3 version of lyx, as well as with the new
version installed with opensuse (1.5.1).
I have tried to increase the save_size parameter in
/usr/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, without success.
Is it necessary to say that this problem did not appear with the
previous version of suse ?

Is it necessary to update the prosper layout ?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Romuald

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
4332 strings out of 10901
72220 string characters out of 72220
135340 words of memory out of 263001
7009 multiletter control sequences out of 1+0
100895 words of font info for 123 fonts, out of 40 for 1000
14 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
37i,15n,33p,481b,531s stack positions out of 300i,100n,500p,5b,4000s
Output written on test.dvi (216 pages, 566604 bytes).
What is this string characters limitation that I've run into?.
The document is rather large, abt 260 pages, and is a multipart document.
If I remove the three last postscript figures, it goes through and reports 
this usage:

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
4338 strings out of 10901
72059 string characters out of 72220

Do I really have to recompile latex to get a higher capacity?
 

Nope,

check /etc/texmf/texmf.conf. There you can set  a number of options:

% Max number of characters in all strings, including all error messages,
% help texts, font names, control sequences.  These values apply to TeX 
and MP.
pool_size.context = 75
pool_size.jadetex = 50
pool_size = 250
% Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least
% 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large.
string_vacancies.context = 45
string_vacancies = 25
% Maximum number of strings.
max_strings.context = 55
max_strings = 30
% min pool space left after loading .fmt
pool_free.context = 47500
pool_free = 5000

(cut from my tetex-1.07)

Increased as desired.

I had similiar problem before. I think the default should be enough for

What kind of TeX-Installation do you use? 70K strings seems a liitle low in
my opinion. The values in texmf.cnf seem a little to conservatice for todays
systems.
With my setup I ran into problems when compiling a 400 page document
containing the first 3500 Fibonacci numbers. Well - always time for a 
prank:
it was a nonsence publication that we wanted to sell to first-year compter
science students.

I think it's a plain teTeX 1.07 installation... (on a RH 7.3-system).

Anyway, I've asked my sys.adm. to change 'pool_size = 25' - 
'pool_size = 250', and 'string_vacancies = 25000' - 25000, 
'max_strings = 15000' - '15'.

So hopefully this will fix the problem.

Nice... any buyers? :-)

\usepackage[squaren]{SIunits} was the last package, but the string

Well, since it compiles if I remove the three last figures, I'm 
thinking just adding one '0' will be enough :-)

Thanks a lot for your help anyway!

you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

If I remove the three last postscript figures, it goes through and reports 
this usage:

TeX capacity exceeded

[magni]

I just installed the new version 1.2.0, and although it works fairly well I 
have a big problem with RevTeX. The install went clean, BTW.
Whenever I make a NewFromTemplate-RevTeX4, and compile it without modifying 
it, I get 4 errors the first being: 
TeX capacity exceeded, sorry (input stack size=300). If you really absolutely 
need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
Now, not being a wizard myself, my only hope is to find one among you ;-)

Oh, NewFromTemplate-RevTeX gives me 29 similar errors, just at the beginning 
of the document

Re: TeX capacity exceeded

[James Vernon]

I'm no wizard, but this worked for me in a similar situation, so fingers 
crossed it might work for you too

Change the input stack size by editing your texmf.cnf file. Mine is in 
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, but yours might be different. Look in that file 
for the line that says:
stack_size=300

and change it to something bigger ( I don't know how much! ).
The wizardry bit is that you have to run `fmtutil -all' to update your 
TeX installation to use the new stack_size.

Incidentally, my Debian distribution says I'm not allowed to edit 
texmf.cnf directly, I have to edit stack_size in the file 
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath/ and then run update-texmf before I run 
fmtutil.

Re: TeX capacity exceeded

Thanks for your help, to all of you.
I doubted too that changing the stack size would help, I did it as James 
suggested and it didnt help.
What I find more irritating is that LyX seems a pretty clean project, with 
many years of refinements. Why should this happen in some unmodified 
templates provided by the program?
Oh, but possibly it's just me? Can somebody tell me what happens to the rest

It produces error.

A wild guess is that none of the developper uses that template so it got a
bit rotten in the course of events...
