Std-error, Typesetting failure, resetting to empty document

#1

I imported a .tex file (with \include of different chapters) in Texmacs and everything looks fine.

After a Save as in .tm format, I’ve got this error every time I want to open the .tm file version:

The file is indeed empty:

What’s the meaning of this error message, any idea ?

#2

no idea. Can you reproduce the problem by converting again the .tex file. Or it has been a one-time situation?

#3

Thanks @mgubi :+1:

Yep, exact same thing every time I load .tex and save it as .tm.

I manage to overcome this behavior by converting each individual .tex file (one for each chapter) in the .tm format and somehow the conversion works fine here.

I will try later to concatenate all the .tm files in the same document to see what’s happening.
Anyway I can edit my documents now :grin:

#4

I’ve tried a minimal LaTeX file with some includes and that works, so it may be the combination of include with something in your files. Maybe you could try removing some of the includes in order to track down where the problem lies?

Thanks @jeroen for the good advice, I’ll look at this by actually doing incremental file inclusions to track down the problematic file.

#6

Yes, that’s a good idea. I guess there is some LaTeX construction whose conversion make the document invalid. Although is quite strange the editor works but not the save. Would be interesting to find a minimal (non-)working example.

#7

I incurred in a similar error with version 2.1. Similar situation, importing a tex file, but no \include involved. After some experiments it seems that the issue was caused by a macro introduced in the preamble:

  <assign|tabularnewline|<macro|<next-line>>><assign|tabularnewline*|<macro|1|<\\*|<arg|1>>>>

(the second one is the incriminated one).
I have not been able to figure out where this macro comes out of. The original tex file was composed with LyX (and this caused some additional pink text to show up in the tm file).

#8

I can confirm this happens when importing a MWE of LyX’s tabularnewline from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/262737.

I’ve reported it to Savannah
