Re: [Doxygen-users] Error when generating pdf document

[Eduardo A. C. <ed...@al...>]

Hi Clemens, thank you very much for your detailed reply, brilliant stuff.
I have found that the lines you pointed out cause the error, I have removed
them and now I get the TOC and index, which I didn't before.
Here are the changes:

In mantracan.h
Was:
//! Structure to hold the 6 bytes of CAN data that the mantracan protocol
uses \n They are used as follows: |1 DSC | 1 CMD | 4 DATA|
Is now:
//! Structure to hold the 6 bytes of CAN data that the mantracan protocol
uses

In mantracan.c
Was:
//! Mantracan uses 6 bytes of CAN data:\n
//! CAN DATA = | 1 byte Descriptor | 1 byte Command | 4 bytes Data|\n
Is now:
//! Mantracan uses 6 bytes of CAN data:\n

Why are these lines causing an error, are the | not permitted characters in
latex? Do I need to escape them somehow?
 
Thanks again!
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo.

Difficult issue!

 From the Log I would guess a problem with the hyperlinks inside the TOC.

"! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup" and "Runaway argument?"
usually point to a "{" without a closing "}".


1.
Do you have own pages i.e. do you use \mainpage and friends?

2.
Your PDF is finally created, isn't it?
Does it look odd e.g. in the TOC?

3.
Do you have any "special" characters or formats in you head lines of 
chapters and sections? While LaTeX can handle this, it still can make 
some trouble if PDF hyperlinks shall be created.

4.
Also look into the refman.toc file where all headlines are listed. Maybe 
you can post the file.

5.
Look in the TEX file which contains "data that the mantracan" and 
"ollows: $|$1 DSC $|$ 1 CMD $|$ 4 DATA$|$" or post (part of) files.
Any illegal LaTeX construction there?

6.
In the refman.tex file disable the \include or \input lines that 
references the file from 5). If the error is gone, then you know it must 
be in this file.


Good luck
Clemens
