Dear list,
using the latest CVS, I edited my familiar document to find that it
wouldn't export to PS anymore.
After reconstructing my changes (using diff on the LyX file of course) I
discovered that the culprit is the addition of one more table, identical
to the rest.
This document is a design document, made up mostly of tables. IMHO the
LyX table format is *mega* bloated. The LyX file is 350 k while the PS
is under 57 k, which to me is extreme as postscript is normally pretty
bloated.
The added table is just a copy-paste of an existing table from the same
document. Utterly no changes other than that. I copied a few tables and
it seems pretty independent of the source table used, it always causes
the documet to fail its LaTeX run.
Here's the first error message (when someone gets around to making
errors cut-n-pasteable I will give you all 16 of them!):
Missing number, treated as zero.
\begin{table}[!htbp]
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
I have no idea what that means. I can't fix it on my own but can't give
out the document. I hope something I said triggers some sort of
inspiration =)
