General ⇒ Weird error: There's no line here to end

[benowar]

Hi,
the following code snippet produces the error "There's no line here to end" and I dont know why. The resulting PDF looks nice, but I would like to get rid of the error. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

\begin{titlepage}

	\vspace{4em}
	\center
	\Large{\textsf{Diplomarbeit zum Thema}}
	\vspace{1em}
	
	\Huge{\textsf{Headline}}
	\vspace{2em}
	\\
	\Large{
		\textsf{
			zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades\\
			\textbf{Diplom-Foobar (FH)}
			\vspace{6em}
			\\
			Universität zu Berlin\\
			\\
			Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften I\\
			Studiengang Informatik
}
	}
	\vspace{8em}
	\\
	\Large{
		\textsf{
			Eingereicht von Benjamin\\
			\today
			\vspace{2em}
			\\
			Erstbetreuer: Foo\\
			Zweitbetreuer: Bar
	  }
	}
\end{titlepage}

Hi!

It´s the double backslash in the line after "Universität zu Berlin" that ends no line.

Universität zu Berlin\\
\\
Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften I\\

Good luck for the Diploma,

M.

The problem is the 2 consecutive \\ in

Code: Select all

         Universität zu Berlin\\
         \\

Just add \mbox{} before the 2nd \\.

Btw, there is no \center command. I guess it's \centering?
Also, \Large, \Huge are commands without an argument: they just tell what the size of the current font must be; this will not give an error message; you simply have a useless pair of parentheses; so it would have been simpler to write, e.g.

Code: Select all

\textsf{\Large Diplomarbeit zum Thema}

I had the same problem in Lyx. And lyx told me it was in my main class file, but it was acutally in a completely different filethat has my appendix, i had a \ where i shouldnt have in there, took me forever to find what was wrong
