[Doxygen-users] doxygen hangs with incorrect latex input

[Kris T. <kri...@ic...>]

Hi,

I made a latex mistake in one of the formulas between \f[ and \f] (I used
\elem which is not defined in latex/tex). The result was that doxygen hang.
Aborting it (with Ctrl-C) kept latex running in the background. I had to
kill that by hand. (I guess this was lucky, otherwise I wouldn't have known
it was latex which was given me the problem).

When running latex _formulas.tex by hand, latex stopped with its familiar
error, and waited for input (I had to type x to get out), so I guess that is
what was happening as well.

I guess the latex process should be run such that it never prompts the user
for input. This can be done by inserting the \batchmode command at the start
of the latex file.

I'm using doxygen 1.2.8.1 on NT.

All the best,
