footnotemark to refer to it from another section heading. In spite of the
footnotemark being protected, I got the error message:
Missing number, treated as zero.
...on\protect\footnotemark[\ref{foot:first}]}
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(if you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `wierd error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
In intermediate steps from six errors to this one, I tried \protect'ing
everything. Only the one \protect just before the \footnotemark had any good
effect, reducing the number of errors from six to just this one. For what
it's worth, my version of LyX is 1.1.5fix1.
