Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Longtable numbered caption error

[dead_mantra]

Dear all,

I'm trying to insert a numbered caption to a longtable as follows:
1) Create an empty first line in my table
2) Right click on the empty line --> Settings --> Caption on
3) Insert the caption text followed by an ERT with \\

Unfortunately, I get a 'Mispalced\noalign. Emergency stop' error when I try to compile. I've been browsing various forums but couldn't find a solution as of yet.

I have attached the .lyx and .tex minimal versions containing the longtable in case anyone can provide any assistance.

Thanks for any help!

Take a look at the tex-document. LyX went mental there with the language stuff, switching to english at the beginnning of every cell, printing the content and switching back to british. I don't know what made LyX do it, but that is the cause of error.

Please also note, that the \\ has to be outside the caption.

Thanks Johannes. Indeed that was the problem.
My suggestion to anyone that reads this post is to set the document language (under the Document--> Settings) to the preferred language. Otherwise the spell checker might go as crazy as in my case.
Finally, at least in this example, the \\ is not needed. Just setting the 'Caption on' in the longtable settings tab worked for me.

Thanks again.
