A bug in current CVS:
Create a footnote in an Author environment (class=article). Insert some
linebreaks in the footnote using Ctrl-Enter. View DVI. LaTeX chokes:
-------------------------------------------------------------
! Use of \@xfootnotemark doesn't match its definition.
\@ifnextchar ... \reserved@d =#1\def \reserved@a {
#2}\def \reserved@b
{#3}\f...
l.10 \maketitle
-------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is caused by the '\\' line separators in the footnote.
Editing the tex file to change all '\\' to '\newline' fixes this. If the
original footnote is placed outside the author environment then all is well.
Maybe it's a problem with the article class (I'm using RedHat's
tetex-1.0.7-46), but author footnotes are very common so LyX should work
around it anyway.
By the way, the parsing of latex output into error insets is way off in
this case.
