Page Layout ⇒ Problem with Index (packages conflicts ?)

[Cham]

My project is a huge book of about 900 pages, with lots of equations (vectors, tensors, matrices, ...) and figures. Is 30 packages in the preamble typical, for that kind of project ?

On a side note, the log file also gives many warning about symbols in URL links:

Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string (PDFDocEncoding):

I'm using the hyperref package. Do I need another package for URLs in a PDF ?

You can load 100 packages if you need them. Just don't load packages you don't need.

Presumably you have math expressions in headings. For a remedy search the hyperref manual for the \texorpdfstring command.

Yep, I have several math expressions in chapter/section titles. Thanks for that one.

But what is the relation between the microtype package and the index ?

And I want to insist : Thank you VERY much for all of your precious help ! Without you, this project could not have come true !

I'm still getting lots of warning messages in the log file, despite the fact that I did used the \texorpdfstring command for all the headers with some maths expressions :

Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines ...
...
Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string (Unicode):
(hyperref) removing `math shift' on input line ...

The "\hbox" warning messages may be related to pictures commands. I don't know how to interpret the warning messages.

There's also a special case for a formula I asked on the forum, few weeks ago :

LaTeX Font Warning: Command \scriptsize invalid in math mode on input line 222.

The formula associated to this warning message is this :

Code: Select all

\sum_{\scriptsize\begin{aligned} i, j &= 1 \\[-4pt] i &\ne j \end{aligned}}^{N}

Apparently, the \scriptsize command is not allowed, while the compiled formula is nicely looking on the PDF version. What's going on here ?

Any idea of what this is all about ?
