problem with table of contents

Post by louispolaire »

Hi,

I have a problem with the table of content when I export to PDF.
This morning I upgraded to Texlive 2013.
Since then the table of content only appears on one page and is cut (it is 3 or 4 pages) it also seems to ignore the \cleardoublepage after.

also I have a Nomenclature and it does not even show.

Did I forget to reinstall one package ? I can't figure out what I did miss.
I made no changes to the lyx file.

Please help me, of course I am in a hurry and any quick help would be appreciated (why do those issues always happen when you are close to the deadline ?)

So Texlive 2013 is not the problem as I successfully exported the lyx manuals with a nice looking table of content.

I tried on another computer and the problem is the same.

it is then something that changed in the file.

if somebody knows more about the code I can send the lyx file.

I've been on this for more than 24hours now. And after trying every way around I think this is not my fault but a bug related to \tableofcontent...

on the pdf it's like the table of content has been created but is unable to create several pages. it creates a very long page that is then cropped to A4.

Still nobody ?? some help would be really helpful : my thesis is finished and I need to export the pdf once...just once and I send it... I've been on that for 24h

Is there perhaps some people from the lyx team that would perhaps help me for a small amount of money ?

Hi louispolaire,

welcome to the forum!

You could post your LyX file here, as attachment to a forum post. Perhaps make a copy and reduce it, so there's dummy text instead of your original text, so it shows the problem but not your private content.

Thanks,

As a matter of fact I solved my problem. I added a list of symbols (Glossaire) that was what caused the mess. I removed all the code related to that and I managed to export the pdf with a proper table of content.
